Ok, Im shamelessly creating a sort of duplicate of this great thread on headphone advice:
https://www.avforums.co.za/index.php/topic,66634.0.html by @crashappy
but with a few different needs:
- Rand for Rand value and quality.
- brand agnostic but might just follow @crashappy preference: Audio Technica, Beyerdynamic, Sennheiser, AKG
- price - For new ou the box I am looking at no more than R3K and used R2K
- where- listening is casual, mostly in my office.
- comfort and fatigue - as little as possible ear or neck fatigue and be super comfy - even when the room temperature gets hot
- Also over ear. preferably active noise cancellation [the overhead aircon duct in my office creates noise at 53db - too much for me] or second prize: closed back
the DT 990 Pro - seems to come highly recommended from the thread I blatantly plagiarised, but the cups look huge [sits over cheeks] and is open back and Im worried about the aircon noise creeping in.
So Im looking for something similar but with active noise cancellation,and perhaps smaller cups.
thanks
