Very interesting. Tweakers said exactly the same. An open-backed headphone sounds better.
But you will hear more sounds around you, the part why I prefer a closed one.

That's what I use. They're very nice headphones. I like them better than my SennHeisers But, I wish they had a detachable cord.

My fans show their support by mentioning my name in their signature.
Open backs or semi-open backs are better for hearing the stereo image because left is able to bleed into right & right into left. This is one reason why monitors are superior for mixing with, assuming you have the ideal room and setup, which most of us do not by a long shot..
I have two AdamTV5 for mixing. And the stereo is indeed, omg.
Always was a big Sennheiser fan, but my gaming headset, although a very good headset is not lasting as long as I am used to with Sennheiser.
Maybe the pro audio stuff from Sennheiser is still as good as it ever was.
The Epos / Sennheiser headset is not.
This is my second one, the first one only had Sennheiser as the brand.
I haven't used anything from Sennheiser. The only mixing headphones I've ever owned are my Beyerdynamic DT880 Pro. I bought these about 9 years ago and have been using them all the time since. They're very comfortable, you can buy spare parts for them from Beyerdyamic last I checked and they sound really good. I've tried lots of other headphones and they always have some kind of horrible distortion, usually in the mid-range. Nothing I've ever used sounds as good or is as comfortable as these. However, I haven't really tried any other high quality mixing headphones, just ones for general use or gaming which don't cost as much so it's not surprising really. I just know that these have served me well. Maybe Beyerdyamic have also lowered their production quality these days. I've no idea. I just know that the ones I have were worth it!
I could barely fit one of those into my bedroom studio, not gonna get a stereo pair in.
I prefer to be known as a figment of the 'nets imagination, living in the future, waiting for the rest of you to catch up.
