There is such a thing read on. https://www.howtogeek.com/327846/wha...ic-headphones/Originally Posted by jandl100
Sure, but I think I laced my post with enough "imo"s to satisfy most people.
And why are they describing the Fostex as planar magnetic? They ain't no such thing. Are they even talking about the same headphones?

Jerry , the Ultrasone are not for everyone .
You can drive them with any thing, but they are to much tizz and boom for me.
Very fun for some music though. Not my favorite for vocals.
For a second pair they are great for bands like the Talking heads or the Ramones.
Look at these. https://www.oppodigital.com/headphones-pm-3/
These are closed back so great bass and you can use them any where , very low impermanence 26 ohm. so even your phone can drive them.
A little more money but very well loved by everyone who has owned a pair.

No, I'm sure that orthodynamic and planar magnetic are not the same thing at all!
I do have a pair of planars - Audeze EL-8. Very nice. But they are beyond the price the OP is wanting to pay, even used.
There are so many 'phones out there these days, impossible to be familiar with them all!

appear to be different terms for them... isodynamic, planar-magnetic, or magnetostatic incorporating characteristics of both dynamic and electrostatic driver design. so similar but not true planar

Love my Ultrasones, have a few different models, but as you say not to everyone's taste.

I've owned the aforementioned Fostex. They sound good but I hated the stiff cable and the fit of them. They literally wouldn't stay put if I looked about, just slid off, they got sold on.
Before them, I had hd600 which were too noisy to use with family in the same room. Nice sound but sometimes too polite and boring, needed decent amp. Very comfy though.
Currently using Meze 99 wth brain wave pads. Sound great and very comfy closed back. Sometimes feel I need something a bit better in terms of resolution and clarity but they do sound great for the amount of time I use them.
So Meze is my recommendation.

I use Brainwavz pads as well with the Ultrasones, well worth buying.
