Admittedly, I don't have much experience with a number of different options. Despite that, I really like the Aeon 2 Closed and think it is a solid choice for under 1k. I recently got the Stellia and while it is no doubt superior to the A2C in all but isolation and comfort (for me), I feel the A2C compares quite well to it.

Surprisingly, yes. The Stellia has the upper hand in technicalities, but the AEON 2 Closed is a superb contender, at less than a third of its price tag, too.

Thanks, just as I expected. I also auditioned those AQ cans at shows several times and was positively surprised. Well, at least as much as show conditions allowed.

On Polish forum I am member of, few people are very pleased with pairing iFi Zen + Audioquest Nightowls

Depending on my mood - either the Denon AH-D5000 or the Beyerdynamic T90

That's good to know that you folks in PL like our stuff, thanks! Or should I say, "dziekuje"

Which has the upper hand in timbre of vocals between the Stellia and the AFC 2 in your opinion?

Aeon 2C are good value IMHO (paid $750 new). They sound quite “open” for close back and heavenly comfortable.

I can agree with this, very comfy cans.

Haven't heard one I really liked in this price range but I'll say hd25 since they are nice portable headphones
