Any closed over-ear headphone that sounds substantially more accurate than the S4R without going to exotic ultra-expensive vintage Stax? Maybe too much to ask for compared to those I put above it. The ESP-9 is awesome but HEAVY. DT1350 is on ear. Heck, the Koss practically is too with the shallow Koss pads. ER4S tier is too high a bar obviously for over ear closed. My headphones ranking goes something like: Stax 009 ER4S Stax SRS-2170 Koss ESP-950 HD580 Koss ESP-9 DT1350 Ollo S4R 1.1 DT990 Pro Sony MDR-EX15 (hard to rank these, actually) KRK 6400 K701 HD25 Ixos MOS DJ1001 Airpods 4 ANC Koss Sporta Pros and KSC equivalents Koss ProDJ100 Sony V6 & 7506 (bit too bright and glassy) Harman Kardon ANC Fly (too muddy but ok utility ANC headphone)
I'm looking for a closed over-ear headphone that sounds better than the S4R. Would I like the HDB 630? My headphones ranking goes something like: Stax 009 ER4S Stax SRS-2170 Koss ESP-950 HD580 Koss ESP-9 Ollo S4R 1.1 DT1350 DT990 Pro Sony MDR-EX15 (hard to rank these, actually) K701 HD25 KRK 6400 Ixos MOS DJ1001 Koss Sporta Pros and KSC equivalents Sony V6 & 7506 Harman Kardon ANC Fly (muddy mess)
I use a Quidelix Bluetooth amp, about the size of a small tic tac container and clipped to my shorts, connected to wired Koss Porta Pros. Sounds great. The Quidelix is also generally a great little portable amp. Even has a “transparency” function where you can hear your surroundings if you want.
Yeah, I’m using a set of koss porta pros … I have loads of audiophile cans but they rarely leave my house as they are so expensive. The koss sound pretty great are small and look good
My most recent ones are AiAiAi Studio Pros. Wanted something more flat in response and had some coupons. When I am out in a noisey environment I have some Sony ANCs. If you want a cheaper option the Koss Porta Pros still sound pretty damn good and have that cool retro look.
