Hi all,
Now that my home office is all setup, I am looking for a good pair of closed back for traveling. I ordered the Sony MX5 to replace my 7 year old Bose QCs but can return the MX5 if there are better recommendations. When I travel, I do prefer to use my headphones when possible vs. the airlines if using their entertainment setup but do have my laptop to watch TV/movies and/or listen to music. I snagged a Qudelix 5K for dac/amp to help drive for my devices but if using the airlines, I may need a set of high sensitivity/low ohm headphones to drive.
Besides airline usage, they will be used for conference calls with a separate USB mic and watching movies/TV on my laptop in hotel rooms.
Budget is under 1k with a focus on durability, passive noise reduction, minimal leaking, and more fun vs. accurate. I can EQ with the Qudelix 5k for my devices too. Of note, I can get a discount for Denon and B&W headphones.
I have been great things about the DCA headphones but not sure if an airline headphone output will work with them effectively. I was looking at the Denon 5200, AKG 371, various Beyerdynamic and Sennheiser.
Any ideas would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
