Hello. It's me again, with some more idiot questions.
I've got a CCA (soon to be replaced with Moode on a Pi Zero 2W, for EQ purposes) feeding a DX3Pro+.
I currently have AKG K371, Sennheiser HD569, and a pair of HD58X Jubilee arrived yesterday.
The only thing they all have in common is that I got them all at a decent enough price to be able to sell them on.
The first two, to me, are mediocre at best. The K371 would be impressive if they'd been supplied as an accessory to my phone, but for proper audio they're just a bit.... meh. The HD569 are just mildly competent.
My aim here is to sell all three and end up with 1. one pair of open backed for critical listening and 2. one pair of closed back for not disturbing She Who Must Be Obeyed. I guess I could keep the K371 for the latter, but I won't.
The HD58X are everything I want (ish) from the closed back. But they're not the detail monsters I want from an open backed pair. Sound wise I'd keep these if they weren't open backed, they fit the bill for the second pair in that respect.
I've been looking at Q701, K712, K7XX, HD560S, HD600, DT990 but have yet to hear any of the above.
Any recommendations for detailed open backs very welcome, up to about £200 used. I don't need (though wouldn't object to) tons of bass.
I'll revisit the closed backs once I work out what budget I have left after buying the more important open backs.
Much obliged
