Headphone within 3-4k

7 posts · originally from https://geek.digit.in/community/threads/headphone-within-3-4k.176715/

I am looking forward to buy a good over-the-ear headphone (no mic) within 3-4k.

I have shortlisted Sennheiser HD 419(3.2k) and Sennheiser 439(4.1k) till now. Ruled out HD 429 because of it's 3.5m long cable.

Are there other better alternatives within this range? The build quality of headphones should be decent too.

please suggest.

Depending on what purpose you need the headphones for, we can suggest some.

Prolonged music sessions while working. Electronic, metal, jazz, anything etc. Not too picky about the level of bass and depthness of mids.

BUMP

Sony XB400

It's available for 1.6k. I am sure that they must be good. But they somehow feel too plasticky. Is the sound output quality in terms with what Sennheiser(HD 439) has to offer? Is there some better pick, I may go for? My budget is flexible till 3-4k.
But, if the performance of XB400 is too good, I can go for it.
Please let me know.

^ yes xb400 do feel plasticky and you have to be a bit careful. they are good in their price range sub 2k. Hd439 is in a different league all together and would sound way better than xb400. 439 is a full size over ear can and would be far more detailed in everything.
Your best bet would be hd439 or Audio technica ath T500(has 3m cable).
