Hey all

Since a few years i have sony mdr 1am headphones.

I love these but they are starting to show their age.. Unfortunately these headphones can not be bought anymore nor can the mdr 1am2...

They sound great to me and are so comfortable..

So what alternatives are there with the same sound?

I didn't like sennheiser hd599 much, is the 600 /660 better? Or too different from the sony?

Or how the sony mdr-7506?

All help welcome

Budget max around 300 €

Will be used with a Yamaha as 301 amp, cds303 and dual cs429

I doubt that any open-backed headphone like the HD600/660 will sound similar to the MDR-1A.

Consider giving the Austrian Hi-X60 a try:
