Seeking New Headphones - Please Recommend

I find myself in the market, too. I’ve had my Grado SR-125’s for many years and could probably benefit from a closed-back design now. Not a big headphone guy; maybe will use them a few hours a month.

Meanwhile, I have to replace the crumbling foam earpads with a set off Amazon.

I have some nice headphones. Started there due to lack of space for a nice speaker setup.

My favorite closed backs are the BeyerDynamic DT177X Go. They are easy to drive and sound very nice and you can tweak the sound by changing the pads. The leather pads provide a deeper bass profile.

I also have a set of Meze 99 Noir which I really enjoy. They definitely have a sound character and aren’t as neutral as the 177X , but enjoyable. Also, easy to drive, very comfortable, and look cool.

I have set of Grado SR80 in my closet but haven’t listened to them in years.
