#39 Sennheiser HD 25 Plus: $199.95 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 83 in crinacle’s measurement is excellent for a closed-back headphone, and a slightly warm tilt of minus 0.28 suits listeners who like a smooth, full sound. At 140 g it is very light, and 70 ohms is manageable for most sources. Its closed back keeps sound in and offers some isolation.
Cons: It is a wired design with no wireless or ANC features. It costs more than the Audio-Technica ATH-R50x at the same rating.
