Short answer: the Capra Audio Satyr 2. Both are rated 4.0/5 for sound quality (#92 and #123 of 479 over-ear headphones), and the Capra Audio Satyr 2 costs $60 against $79.90 for the Capra Audio Satyr 4, so with nothing between them on sound quality, price settles it.
What the Capra Audio Satyr 2 does well: Tuned close to the Harman target that most listeners prefer in blind tests (preference score 83). Watch for: The rating reflects sound quality only; comfort, build and noise isolation are not part of the score.
The case for the Capra Audio Satyr 4: Tuned close to the Harman target that most listeners prefer in blind tests (preference score 81). The catch: Treble about 3 dB below target from 3 to 10 kHz, which can sound dull or veiled next to brighter headphones.
Buy the Capra Audio Satyr 2. Both are rated the same for sound quality, and it costs $19.90 less than the Capra Audio Satyr 4.

Frequency Response Compared
