The past years I have used Sennheisers HD 25 and Koss Porta Pro as my daily drivers. Unfortunately both are now broken and therefore I am on the hunt for a new pair.
What I want is a pair of well built, good sounding, portable headphones. It would be great if they had a decent mirophone. I use them mainly for commuting and studying. I feel like I have examined the whole wireless market and cannot be satisfied with any product which is why I gave up looking for any bluetooth device. Bowers & Wilkins PX5 have good sound but a shitty mic. Sennheiser PXC 550 II sound good but are too big for what I want and have somehow inconvenient features (turning off procedure). Sony wh-1000xm4 are too big and I really dont like their sound. Noise cancelling is probably a nice feature but the isolation of the Sennheiser 25 was enough for my needs. I would buy them again if they would not have such annoying cable noise.
Do you guys have any ideas for headphones that satisfy my following demands?
good, neutral sound
My budget would be up to 300 euros. Currently I am considering the ATH M50X from Audio-Technica. As they might still be a little too big, I am hoping for your suggestions.
