Update on my headphones comment from yesterday, I ordered the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x. Less than 200 bucks so not that expensive all things considered.

Right now I use the Audio Technica ATH-R70xa as well as the ATH-R50x. I also have the vintage AKG K-1000 and current Hifiman HE400SE. I use them all, some mor
