Hello all,
Last year I started out this journey with a Fidelio X2HR. I couldn't really stand the harsh high sounds and I didn't really cry out when it broke and got refunded tbh. I bought 2 pair of Sennheiser headphones after that incident.
I got myself an HD599 and an HD569. The HD569 is sold because I rarely used it. I like to listen in bed with headphones on and the hd569 made me go crazy because it squeaked all the time. My HD599 on the other hand is a dream. It's so comfortable to wear and my wife who sleeps next to me doesn't have an issue with it being open. I use it in bed on my Pixel 4a 5G andI also use it on my pc with a Loxjie D30 amp/DAC (V1) or occasionally on my Xbox series X connected to the controller.
I feel like I want another pair of headphones that compliment this one. I know there is not a lot of love for the HD599 but personally I really like the comfort of the pads and band (hated the X2HR pads, they itched) and I like the sound respect that it's not harsh like the Fidelio was.
Because I like the fact Sennheiser has a reputation for being durable and has a lot of spare parts easily available, again unlike the Fidelio I was looking at the HD560S but I'm a little aftraid I will get the plastic sound again when moving around because it seems like the same build as the HD569 on pictures. Also I was eyeballing the hd58x or HD6xx but those are harder to come by in the Netherlands.
I was hoping to get some suggestions or protips. My budget is around the price of these headphones.
