Closed Back Headphone Recommendations
Hi everyone, I am in need of a recommendation for closed-back headphones. I use my HD6XX daily and love them, but recently my housemates have been making a lot of noise due to work. Being open back, I can hear everything and I am looking for more isolation. I purchased the BD DT 770 Pro (250 ohms), and I absolutely hate the sound. I decided to give them a break in chance and now I can't return them. I do not like the Dt770 because they sound way too sharp and most modern music sounds so piercing; Even songs that I think sound great on my 6xx... Are there any recommendations for better closed-back headphones that sound more neutral or have an emphasis on mids? Headphones must be under $299.

Check DIY Audioheaven site, Solderdude has a lot fixes and mods for a lot of headphones. Maybe slapping different pads can get them into line. I have DT880-600 and it also spends most of the time in the storage - the Himalayan trebles and no upper mids is my biggest issue. And Sennheisers are more comfy.

pliedtkaThanks, I’ll have to check them out. It seems you have similar preference as me! Yeah those highs start to hurt especially on some jazz solos.

My little room work in progress.
It's not done, I apologize for the mess. Health issues have put this on hold. It's a small room and I'm likely to sell off my KEF 104.2 loudspeakers and some other gear after surrendering the living room to my wife after her patience of 35 years. She deserved her own little sanctuary.

New addition to the stable.
I made the decision to take advantage of the $600. price on the HiFiMan Arya Stealth, here pictured with the Meze 109 Pro. I think 2025 is going to be a really uneventful year so far as new purchases. I've also upgraded my Fiio BTR7 to the newly released BTR17 and I purchased the Earmen stack which consists of Amplifier, Linear PS, DAC & Streamer.

Drop x Campfire Audio Darkstar Review
The Darkstar definitely has a a unique sound that has an audiophile sub-bass bias. It is a balanced sound with open sounding mids and well extended treble. There is no mid-bass bloat thanks to...

BMR2 discounts for BMR1 owners
How about providing a BMR2 discount for BMR1 owners? Most of the "improvements" in the next gen should really have been there in the first which was a pretty big disappointment for most of us. UPDATE: 40% discount offered. That's great, I'm in. Thank you DROP.
