A little background -
I currently own Massdrop Fostex TH-X00 (Mahogany), Oppo PM-3, Apple airpods pro (ordered by sound preference).
Mostly listen to electronic, rock/metal, jazz, classical (ordered by what I listen most to least)
I am looking for some headphones to take mostly out of the house and traveling. Currently use my oppos and airpods for this. So prob looking for something that would substitute the Oppos. Would prefer wireless BT with a wired option.
Options are:
Tier 1
B&W PX8
Bathys Focal
or
Tier 2
Sony XM5
Senn Momentum 4
Yes, I know there is quite a price difference between my "tier 1" and "tier 2" options. My question is how much of a difference in sound quality would I be getting from jumping to tier 1?
For each tier, is there a headphone that would excel more in my preferred genres?
Any input greatly appreciated.
