I haven't seen this exact question posed during the last couple of years, so let me give it a shot. I'm using Senn 280s in my home studio, but I'd like to buy another set of cans for late-night listening/relaxing. Forget tracking and isolation, forget editing and rough mixing... instead, just consider pure listening enjoyment in mostly the jazz-fusion and rock realms. Deep bass, smooth mids, clear highs, maybe even a touch of the dreaded smiley curve. Which open or semi-open cans ($100-$300) would be on your short list? Grado, Senn, Beyer, AKG, something else?
I'll probably order 2-3 models and choose my favorite, but can you help me shorten the shipment list? I have little experience with such phones.
Thanks for any suggestions,
J.
