Hi,
I currently own a Sony WH-1000XM3 and a Sennheiser HD800S. I use the latter for mixing and the former while recording, but the difference in sound quality is obviously quite big. I was looking for a closed headphone with good ambient noise isolation (not necessarily active cancelation) with better sound quality than my Sony.
I really need the isolation as I want to hear the recording sound only and not the direct sound from the piano when recording (and pianos are quite loud as you might know). Noise reduction almost never appear on spec sheets except for active noise cancelling headphones, which don't necessarily have good sound quality for monitoring.
I once tried an AKG K371, but compared to the other two it's obviously quite worse (who would have thought), and the sound isolation is not good enough.
What is a good alternative? My budget is max 400-500$.
Thank you
