open or closed. headphones that are so light you almost forget you’re wearing them. good sound is important as well…at least better than mediocre, like Koss. no price limit…cheap / inexpensive to ridkonulously high.
to start us off:
Koss KPH30
Koss PortaPro
Koss KSC75
Koss SP330
edit - it’s a longshot, but are there any wireless headphones that are light? I mean light, like abnormally light, not ‘lighter’ than most wireless headphones as the battery and electronics should disqualify them right away.
The Sennheiser HD 560S model comes to mind for being light (they look heavier than they are) and having great sound at a great price for open-back cans.
The obvious ones are Sennheisers, the 5X0, 6X0, 8X0 lines. Also ETA headphones, the Mini S, Mini C, and O2 are all light and amazing. Grados are another obvious ones. Audeze LCD-1 (the only light Audeze–actually the Carbon is also pretty light because Electrostat). AudioTechnica headphones–particularly the ATH-R70X and the ATH-5000. Also curious about the DMS Omegas.
I think all the ones I mentioned here are under 300 grams. It’s something I pay attention to because I’m sensitive to weight.
Bose QC 35 and QC 45 headphones are damn light wireless models. Also have super-comfortable cups.
The sound? Some people love them. I think the sound is pretty “meh” for the money.
I will second the recommendation of the Final Audio UX3000. Very light, far better sound than the Bose and most other wireless headphones south of $500.
But there is one catch. The cups are VERY small, in depth and diameter. If you have anything larger than normal ears, they probably will be uncomfortable. Shame I had to return mine, as the sound blew away any wireless models from Sony, Sennheiser, B&O, M&D, Shure, Bose.
