Thanks for your input! Aren’t Beyerdynamic even brighter than Audio Technicas? I might just have to go and find myself a decent HiFi store, and widen my horizon a bit.
I initially planned to spend around 400 bucks. I might stretch it to 500, but the 700 I can find the wp900 for are just a bit unreasonable for the current times in my life. I was happy when I stumbled across the msr7b, as they seemed to tick all the right boxes at an incredible price. But apparently, I’m not as neutral a listener as I thought I was. :-D

Thanks again. I’ll play around with EQ and give them another week-or-so to make up my mind. They might grow on me still. :-)

That’s interesting, thanks for the input! With Sony and Sennheiser BT headphones, it seems to be the opposite, that their sound falls apart a bit in wired mode. I’ve steered clear of wireless for that reason. For me, wired would be the norm, wireless just sporadic icing on the cake. Didn’t think there’d be a manufacturer with similar priorities. :-)
I haven’t tried EQ’ing them, but I will give it a shot. I keep thinking that it’s odd slapping my own EQ on top, instead of finding something that’s closer to my listening preferences. A bit like getting a Ferrari, then tweaking the suspension until it’s smooth like a Mercedes. :-D

Thanks for the tip! I just ordered two Senns (600 and 650), the K371 and Audio Technica R70X. Will compare them and hopefully find a pair that I like.
