Best headphones for Prog?

[Floyddroid]

Well?

[Gazjam]

Noise cancelling ones...?

:)

Well I listen mainly to Prog influenced music and I have been using Grado SR125e's. However I have come to the conclusion that I do not like headphones so they are now on ebay. Each to their own as always.

:)

But then the music would get cancelled as well. :scratch:
:lol:
Sorry :D

As in fully cancelling ....?
Silent in use?

I tried and failed to sell some JBL Synchros 700S cans a few months ago for a mere pittance (£35 for £200 cans) - superb on prog and rock.
No-one wanted them - I gave them away in the end!

I think my PSB M4U-1 would be great.
Happy to loan them to you, Steve, £60 if you want to keep them. Over £200 at rrp.
Just PM your name and address. :)

They look like this stock image ...

Just saying.

Well...I've been trying quite a few from my collection and my current favourite has to be the Ultrasone HFi 580 - Locomotive Breath, Mocking Bird etc sound stunning through them - rest of chain is vortexbox, MF V-Link 192, Bushmaster DAC and Capella Headphone Amp.

A really 'big' spacious sound, the S logic sees to that, and the nice big driver gives solid good bass.

I have the more expensive HFi 780 as well, not so good for Prog etc, bass is less and treble more - but fantastic for simpler acoustic stuff.

I can wholeheartedly recommend beyerdynamic dt770 pro for prog/rock listening very detailed with superb low end reach and really really comfortable I can have a 3 to 4 hour listening session no problem. I don't think you would be disappointed Stevie boy.

Hifiman HE400 are great, I was listening to King Crimson Lizard the other day, nice. Just happen to have them on EBay at the moment for £175 but could do them for£150 plus postage.

just for prog i m with Grado as well

[Yomanze]

For me, the best 'air guitar' moments come with a pair of Grados. Other headphones might be better for other genres, but for rock & metal it's all about Grados for me, perhaps a second-hand pair of RS1 or RS2.

I already have Grado's. Prestige 225. They are ok but a little lightweight.
