Philips Fidelio X2 / Grado SR225e alternatives?

[Ken]

Hi,

Looking to upgrade from my Sennheiser HD595 which have also cracked and broken fully on the side of the head band.

Initial research came up with the Philips Fidelio X2 and Grado SR225e. Super gutted I can't find anywhere that sells the former and the latter is not full over the ear style which is an important comfort factor for me. Basically I'm looking for a best in class, over the ear and retro styled pair of comfortable headphones.

Any recommendations please?

Thanks

Hmm best in class over ear retro style and no budget, recon Stax fits the bill but will cost you literally a kidney ^^

You'll also need an energizer, package probably around £2500 or so.

If not that what's your budget lol

Haha £250 ish

Beyer DT990 Pro??

Thanks, reading some reviews now

Do you want similar neutral bass or more punchy bass?

Looking for similar bass but more detail in the mids and highs
