Replacement for my Philips Fidelio X2HR?
Hey there, I'm looking for a replacement for my current headphones (Phlips Fidelio X2HR) as it's getting quite old & I'd like to replace it. It has to be an open back, over-ear headset, preferably something easy to get in Europe.
Budget - Looking at a budget of about €400-500.
Source/Amp - I currently have a very basic DAC Sound Blaster Play 3, but very much open to upgrading it if it more or less fits within the budget.
How the gear will be used - It's a replacement for my daily headphones that I use for gaming (MMORPGs & some FPS & other games from time to time), music & voice chatting (with a mod mic)
Preferred tonal balance - I'd like a nice balance, no real preference, but I don't mind a bit of bass.
Preferred music genre(s) - All types of music, but mostly EDM, Hardstyle & some Frenchcore every now and then.
Past gear experience - Philips Fidelio X2HR is the headset I currently am still using.
Would love some input on what'd be a nice upgrade or replacement! It'd be great if the pads of the headphones would be easy to replace as well, should it ever be needed.
Thanks in advance!
