DT 990 PRO

If the headphones are in need of replacement, BeyerDynamic or Sennheiser have great quality headphones. They are german brands, and a bit on the higher end (like the Beyerdynamic DT 900 pro x, which is a great headset, is ~200 usd). They are built as studio-grade headphones. My last beyerdynamic las

I use a lot of headphones. The DT 990 Pro are absolute classics, or rather the DT 770 Pro (the closed-back version). The famous Beyer peak persists even today. I don't like it. That's why I've improved the sound using Peace (the GUI) and Equalizer Apo. I use the Oratory1990 presets in Equalizer Apo.

If you are wanting a semi soundproof setup at home maybe look into making a closet booth or creating a booth out of room dividers and acoustic blankets.

This is something I love about Beyerdynamic... They release the same edition headphones in open, closed, and sometimes semi-open. I got the DT-990 & DT-770 for this reason. The ups and downs of it are: The two headphones will feel identical, in a matched set like that, which is great because fullsiz

It isn't often that I hear people describe the DT-770 the way you did in your other comments, but it mirrors my experience as well. I believe part of it is that we have the 80 ohm edition. 80 ohm has a two-part coil instead of three, resulting in less sharpness which Beyer is commonly known for ...

In my experience the long straight cable of the DT-770 80ohm has some issues with physical transfer of noise. Luckily it's ridiculously long, and you can braid it like this: https://www.reddit.com/r/headphones/comments/1lpxhqi/got_a_new_dt_770_pro_cable_was_too_long_so_i/ The coiled Beyer cable is much better
