I’m a video editor and wanted to take my audio setup to another level, so I got my ATH-M50x (excellent sound, lousy comfort). I tried some Bose Quietcomfort 45s, looking for a balance between good sound and comfort (didn’t work). I had headaches with both headphones because of the pressure of the headband, and although I tried to stretch it in both cases, I didn’t manage to finish a full work day using either one. I usually wear headphones for more than 12 hours a day, so I just had to go back to my old Sony Mdr-zx110, they didn’t have the best sound, but at least I didn’t end up with sore ears and a sore head.
Which headphones would you have chosen? I would like to hear opinions from knowledgeable people on the subject, since I am a novice in everything related to sound.
HD 560s and HD6xx. Cant go wrong with either.
If you want a bit budget friendly that still sounds good. SHP 9600. Its more comfortable than the Sennheiser because its bigger and its great for someone who wears glosses (I got this as a gift for my brother and thats what he said).
