A/550

I'm fine with 350, I'm in the market for a dynamic open back set of headphones and was considering the Sennheiser HD 490 Pro, these seem like a much more exciting option for close to a hundred bucks less. I'll be a day one buyer, gonna trust that Koss got this right and is delivering a product that

question to Spirit mains

Depends how much you want to spend. I use Sennheiser hd490 pro plus. Large sound stage open back, I can hear every survivor movement. Every footstep, breath etc. But a headset and amp is super expensive.

headphone advise ? Tested Hd25 and Numark HF175

Might be a bit of a curveball here, but I used my Sennheiser HD490 Pro's this weekend in a set and absolutely loved them. They're open back, designed for studio mixing and mastering (which they're brilliant for, tons of energy and make writing really fun, they sound spot on). The open back design gi

Headphones
