I have never really used headphones since my walkman/cassette days. I am shopping for headphones with a budget of $250 or less. I will use them for listening to hirez files via an Onkyo DPX1, for listening to my HT at night, and for phone calls via a PC voip connection.
My blueray player is a sony which has a propietary bluetooth connection that they claim is better than a regular connection.
The Onkyo DAP is capable of a balanced connection.
Right now I am considering JBL E55BT Quincy Edition or Sony WH1000XM3. Noise cancellation is not important to me.
Should I choose a balanced type? Any make and models that you can suggest? Thanks
