Budget: no upper limit
Location: US
Source: Wireless mostly from phone, occasionally laptop
How Gear Will be Used: Solely in an active office, it’s not a particularly *quiet* office, but keeping the sound in the cans and not in the ears of my office mates would be appreciated.
Tonal Balance: Sub bass is necessary.
Preferred Music Genres: Microwave Uptempo (JudaX, Tegula, Invaderz)
Past Gear Experience: Big fan of Sennheiser HD265 and Sennheiser HD598Cs. Just did a couple hours with the Sennheiser HDB630 and think it’s one of the worst sounding headphones ever. Not a great experience with planar magnetic products.
I really don’t like the sensation of ANC with an over/around ear headphone, so would prefer something with zero ANC, but would also take a headphone where it can be truly turned off. (It seems like a lot of ANC headphones always have some level of ANC or added noise, even when “off”)
