My work headphones yoke snapped and I’m in need of a new pair asap. Unfortunately I dont have a headphone amp as my work mainly details monitoring animatics.
My old headphones were a pair of on ear sonys
Have a choice between
koss portapros
focal listen pros
Various audio technicas
Senheiser pro headphones
I have a professional audio equipment store and a moog audio around the corner I can get them from.
I think the senn pro headphones or focal listen pro would be the best ideas imo if you can’t have anything else. It depends on what senn you can get though

Cool yeah. I was thinking about the listen cause they’re the morst efficient of the headphones and I’m running off a rinky dink head phone out from a modified hp pc
Gotcha, well I think both the senns and focals would do the job just fine
Cool I just need to wait for the stores to open now
I wonder if they have an audio technica r70x as that’s a pretty sweet work headphone (but it wouldn’t work well off of a pc lol)
Yeah moog audio have those.
They are pretty great but might not meet your use requirements because I’m assuming you want isolation and something that can be driven off of a pc
Yeah. Unfortunately my headphone out is real crud. My sonys were not very loud at max volume and were like 40 ohms only.
And I need isolation
Yeah than the listen pro or (depending on your preferences) the hd380 pro, hd280 pro, or the hd300 pro
I have the 280 pro at home. I’m okay with the senheiser sound.
If they dont have the listens in stock I can pick up the 300pro pretty easy.
…
Lol moog has the audeze lcdxga for sale.

Nice, what do you think so far
Clamps a little tight but not uncomfortable
Sound is clear even coming through the underwhelming headphone out on the computer
Detailed. Not too… bright I think the term is
Locking headphone jack is annoying
Much more efficient than the last pair
Not sure what to make of the memory foam pads
Also got them with a small discount cause they were a model in the glass case. But still with full warranty
Head band is just okay
I ended up liking them so much I brought them home for regular listening and freelance work and brought my ratty old hd 280 pros to work to replace them
They are pretty nice imo lol, a good balance between work and fun
