I'm looking for a Harman Compliant, Approx. 100ohm impedance headphone to use with my Analog sources. I like the 7Hz crinacle IEM but I can't share it with family. Something like in the form factor of the Sony MDR 7506 and with a similar ribbon cable but with performance/characteristics of 7Hz is what I'm after.

Leisure listening will be the usage. Bose QC series comes to my mind.. any thoughts? I'm alright with getting a discontinued/used(fair cond.) item.
 
Tape machines ranging from studio standard to walkmen and consumer grade record players.
 
The HD560S is honestly the only good option I can think of:

Everything else has either low impedance (e.g. X2HR, K371), or poor prequency response (e.g. HD620S).

Edit:
Maybe the 620S is good enough?

Sennheiser HD 620S Headphone Review

This is a review, detailed measurements, listening tests and Equalization of Sennheiser HD 620S closed back headphone. It was kindly drop shipped by a member and costs US $300. The headphone feels robust and "tight." It clamps rather heavily on my head causing mild discomfort. So be sure to...

Open box or second hand audeze Maxwell . It will digitise the analog input so don't think impedance will come into play . Way better FR than the Bose

Yeah, definitely! Very close...
Output impedance is something watch out.. power transfer might have a bottleneck at low frequencies.

There's the Xbox /pc one (includes atmos license ) and the playstation one . Playstation version cheaper and other than gaming connection are identical . For your use will be identical
 
Maybe DT770 80 ohm? Or the 250 ohm one? Tape source could help mitigating the treble edginess :rolleyes:

Some of my tape machines can go past well over 20khz. :)

I will look into your suggestion.
