I suggest the Fostex TH900 but any decent headphone will always sound better with a headphone amp.

The Bowers & Wilkins P7 is also fantastic.

Alpha Dog Primes are nice and they are on sale now, down to $799 from $999, new. I love mine.
I attached the link to the company and a review. https://mrspeakers.com/shop/1-headph...me-headphones/ The Alpha Prime by MrSpeakers | Headfonics Last edited by ngc4900; 10-11-2015 at 04:00 PM. |

Even though they are colored a bit, the Denon 7000's sound pretty nice (the older version).
