Please recommend headphones with parameters:
-home listening
-around the ears
-open or closed design
-classical/new age/jazz (more quiet than loud)
-neutral sound
-do not need headphone amplifier
-no bluetooth/wifi, but can be an option
-as light as possible - comfort for extended use
-price under 400usd
I suppose lower headphone impedance means more distortion at higher volume and vice versa, higher impedance is needed for louder music, which I don't listen to anyway.
I generally observe that with age (61) the perception of higher frequencies is lost and the perceived sound is flat, but that's another topic.
Could something from AudioTechnica or Sennheiser, or a similar midrange be a good fit?
Can anyone comment on this? Also on the impedance?
Thanks for the advice and recommendations
