Comfortable over ears wired with neutral sound for 200 dollars

[kristoffer]

I would like some new wired over ear headphones to replace my Audio Technica ATH-M30. I like them, but after some time they become uncofortable and hurt my ears. I have tried a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 pro. They are really comfortable, but I find the sound to be a little "v-shaped" and bright at times. They have to be closed since I use them at work with other people around me.
Are Sennheisers a good bet?

HD25s are great. No-one else can really comment on what you find comfy, though.

Rode NHT-100 have big cups, it’s what I’m going to replace my small-ear NAD HP50 with:

I tried a few pairs with comfort and light weight as my main priorities and settled for the Meze 99 classics which to me sound good and are wearable for longer then any others I tried. They are possibly within your budget if you can find some used/ex demo etc.

Hej Kristoffer.

How about HD650 at a favourable price?

300 ohms so not that great directly from a smartphone.

Mvh.

Price is amazing!
- BTW, why are they so cheap on Danish site? They are 400€ or more in every other local site of gear4music?

But:

They have to be closed since I use them at work with other people around me.

 

[krenzler]

Ah, the closed bit escaped me. Sorry about that.

Rode NTH100. Very neutral, extremely comfortable with 'cool' feeling ear cups - feels odd at first but soon it feels lovely.

They are also a lot more expensive if you change country. I have the Massdrop versions and they are great but definitely leak a lot of sound.

 

[krenzler]

Yes, but kristoffer resides in Denmark as do I.

 

[krenzler]

Maybe have a look at Shure SRH840A?
