Anyone??

10charsss

You can try Shure SE315 for a start.... otherwise the Sony XBA Series Hybrid Drivers and BA is also a good start. You can look for 2nd hand deals on the XBA-H3 "Previous Flagship" on Carousell before the current XBA-Z5 flagship. :D

Any other recommendations? I already have a pair of m50 that I'm using at the office. wondering what other headphones I can try in similar price range(i dont mind it being up to 300). Thanks a lot.
