Like I actually really like how these sound, and I’d like to stay in the ball park of 200, but the on-ear hurts SO MUCH. I’ve heard that the cooler masters are too good for the money.
Most importantly though I’m looking for a nice closed set of cans in that price range
Can’t say I’ve heard those. Can you describe what u like about their sound? Because at that price range if you want something that is on the brighter side I liked the beyerdynamic DT 770 (DT 990 too but it’s been years since I’ve heard those lol)
Theyre really clear, very natural sounding actually, listening to live recordings is a bit of a trip because you can actually distinctly make out people in the crowd’s voices. I kinda freaked myself a bit listening to a tiny desk concert on em actually cause you can hear the npr folks laughing in the background like you’re there with them.
