If you want satisfying bass for your music genre go with MDR-M1 or FT1 closed-back. For open-back MDR-MV1 has the best sub bass & bass if your budget allow. Otherwise AR5000 or used 105 AER.
Sony M1 and MV1 doesn’t need amp. MDR-7506 will do if you want affordable. They are all studio level clarity and accuracy.
If there's any audio store you can go and test headphones I will actually recommend you to do that first. Otherwise I find the Sony mdr m1 pretty comfortable with minimal clamp force.
sony mdr m1 is my "all purpose" headphone. It's comfortable, easy to drive, tuned to fit most genres imo. Build quality is also very good
Sony MDR-M1 is what you're looking for. Good passive isolation with great tonal balance and no harsh treble.
I have the Sony MDR M1 and they sound great. They’re very light and comfortable, with balanced sound. I use them exclusively for listening to music. I got mine from Amazon for $225.00.
I’m a big fan of the Sony mdr m1, if you have both or have heard them, what would be your impressions between the two?
I have a pair i bought in 2019 and the headband and pads are deteriorating. I pad roll so when the pads went i wasn’t concerned, but the headband failing is not good because these have less than 80 hours on them. They sound great, but the Sony MDR-M1 is worth the extra $30 because it has more peq presets available because Sony has a big community. Otherwise they are similar in sound quality. Off the shelf i found the MT8 more comfortable. I didn’t have to stretch them to get clamping force comfort.
