Hi, I'm looking for an over ear bluetooth headphone. I like semi-open headphones with unobtrusive bass. In the studio I'm using the discontinued diffuse field-equalised AKG 240 DF since decades. It's not a bluetooth headphone and for sure not the best headphone for hifi enjoyment, but it's perhaps the best headphone for hours of studio work.
The wanted audio quality of the bluetooth headphone doesn't need to be usable to gage a mix, it's important that it doesn't cause fatigue or illness. I'm really looking for a bluetooth headphone and nothing else. I'm aware about latency, as well as loss of audio quality. I already own an audio interface, so apart from 16 analog IOs, I also have separated analog headphone outputs. Linux bluetooth support is also no concern, since I'll not pair the headphone with my Linux DAW. The headphone is used with equipment that is used in combination with a Linux machine and this equipment works trouble-free with bluetooth. Tested with a Sony WH-CH400, an on ear headphone that does cause fatigue within a few minutes and illness in less than an hour. So far the best dissent-free reviews I've read are about the Pioneer SE-MS7BT-K and the Superlux HDB-671 both could be used as wired headphones, too. They are closed headphones. Fortunately the isolation of the Superlux seems to be less perfect and the design looks close to the AKG design, so at the moment it's my favourite, but I never tested one of those headphones. There's no dealer close to me, where I could test equipment. I need to order headphones and return headphones I dislike. Before doing this I'm interested in experience reports and opinions. The mentioned headphones cost less than 100,- €. I'm willing to pay more than 100,-€, as long as the high price isn't just for esoteric reasons.
