Time to get rid of wires. But.. as Bono puts it: I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.
I have been reasonably satisfied with my Sennheiser HD 598 headphones, and would like something similar, sound wise. Little more *ooomph* at lower end would not hurt, but I love the spacious sound ("wide soundstage"?), separation and clarity of these "cheap enough for cooking" headphones, and would not like to give any of these attributes up too much. Not to mention how comfortable and lightweight they are..
I'm actually looking for headphones to be used in kitchen, while I'm cooking, at night. There is nothing to disturb my peace, unless I'm boiling something out of the kettle or kids wake up and start to call me, and I need to be able to hear should anything like that happen. Hence open-back design.
Does anything like that exists?
I found out that Grado makes something called GW100 that's supposed to be quite OK, but I'm little bit suspicious about on-ear design.. been using over-ear all my life.
And I know about Sennheiser RS 185, but do not fancy setting up the transmitter every time..
Am I the only one in need of this kind of headphones?
