Here, let me rephrase my question. If you were in my position ( Buying headphone between $150 and $250) which would you buy and why? I have no preference between open, closed, anything in between, and iem's. I guess I'm looking for the most natural headphone possible for my price range. Another factor is I make a lot of music, mainly on cubase 5 and fl studio 9. not looking for grado's because I have listened to pretty much every model from them, out of them I like the sr125 over 225 and 325 or anything below. I would like good bass extention but do not want overpowering bass. I love mids most of all, and the closest to "perfect" I can get the better. Thank You!!!
