I’ve owned and enjoyed my pair for well over 10 years now, but I’m ready for something new. I’d love to hear suggestions from those that have moved on to something else, in the same price range. I’m strongly considering the Shure SRH1540 or the Austrian Audio Hi-X65. I understand that the former is closed-back, and the AA’s open-backed (as are the HD650’s), but both are reputed to be very comfortable and sound great.
For the record, I’m driving the cans via a HiFiBerry coax digital output card on a Roon Bridge, connected to a Pro-Ject Head Box S2 digital (which I love, BTW).
But I am open to any suggestions for a great quality set of wired cans that are comfortable for extended periods - TIA!
I purchased the Sundara CBs blind based on reviews. Very good for the £400 I paid. You can get them for around £250 now and I’d consider them fantastic for that price.
Not that I’m an expert in these things but with a pair of HD650’s, which I own, I’d be looking to upgrade my amplifier before anything else. The Pro-Ject Head Box S2 digital may be very good, in it’s price range, but have you considered other options from say JDS Labs, Aune or iFi?
