Sennheiser HD598. I think I got them on offer for around £150 a good 15 years ago. They opened my eyes (ears) to how headphones could offer greater fidelity than HiFi speakers at a much much cheaper price point.
I've since upgraded to the 6XX which is a clear step up for music even if not quite as comfortable.
Seeing the 599SE on Amazon for £99 today makes me happy that a lot of people are going to be experiencing that same feeling for the first time.
Sennheiser hd 560s or 599 etc with mod mic. 6 years ago I bought best wireless gaming headset, returned after 1week and got the hd 599. Newer looked back or wanted to upgrade. You can actually replace the stock cable to one with mic.
I have some Beyer DT990s i need to fix. My cat chewed the cable in half and so theyve been sitting in a box waiting for me to creck em open and replace the cable. In the meantime ive been using the HD599 from Sennheiser and they have also been great.
