Best Closed Back Headphones For Classical Music

[Android, iOS] I have no knowledge about headphones or any audio electronics. I just need a decent wired in-ear headphones for listening to classical music. Wired because it's annoying and inconvenient having to charge it when I need to use it at the moment. In-ear because I wear eyeglasses and all the over-ear headphones cause extreme discomfort. And I am sick of those cheaply made earbuds online. I never even heard of IEM until this purchase, and I am glad I bought this. I listen to orchestra symphony a lot, also pieces by single instrument. I could tell all sounds collectively and individually well, imagine I am in the audience inside the concert hall and I can shift my attention anytime to the oboes, French horns, cellos...etc. I can feel like I sit next to the grand piano that is played on stage now. I almost cried the first time I put this on to listen to the classical music recordings on YouTube. Sorry for not being to offer any professional and technical analysis on this product. This is all I could say about how happy I am. well worth the money.

[Trapezoidal] Listening to classical music and opera with the K 712 has become a truly exciting experience reveiling superb dynamic range,definition,transient response and nuances,never heard before with other premium headphones.Highly recommended for music enthusiasts and recording engineers.These headphones also sound excellent on Sony Walkman CD players.

[1.6 lb] I listen to classical music and acoustic modern jazzy music (97% instrumental). These headphones sound natural and feel comfortable on my head. If you like the K701 then these are much better. NOTE: They are not bassy; i.e. bass is neutral.

[0.175 lb] This extension cord gives me the range to us my new Rode NTH-100 Professional Closed-Back Over-Ear Headphones from my sofa to the AVR to watch TV. Great quality.

[Black] Seamless powerful bass. Used mostly with all classical music from opera to concerti to the oldies.

[13.4 lb] I generally use these for classical vocal ensembles and chamber music. They are very responsive and handle the highs of a soaring soprano line very well. I never have to worry about the sound being distorted.

[2.5 lb] In the past, I have used a Casio keyboard and a Harmonium as an aid in understanding South Asian classical music. The Casio is not accurate and the Harmonium is bulky. Paired with GarageBand on my MacBook Pro, this keyboard remedies both issues. And the quality appears to be good. 37 keys are just right; 25 would have been more portable but less useful. I am glad I got the bluetooth version. I did have an issue in that the bluetooth required installing Bluetooth Midi Connect from Korg. This was incompatible with OS X Mavericks. I reluctantly risked updating to Sierra. Thankfully it all went well.

[1] Always use it on my Rode NT5 every time I record classical guitar music, considered expensive for me but happy with it.

[MDF] Completes my NS-777 speaker pair. Perfect sound - for classical and all music at a great price.

[1/8" / 3.5 mm] As a classical choral musician, I search for the details within a piece of music to differentiate the good from the great from the best. These Grado SR80e headphones allow the smallest details to be conveyed accurately -- to the artist's delight, or possibly to their dismay. The open-back design allows for the ambiance of one's space to join the musical expression intended by the artist. It's the most accurate, pleasing, unadulturated sound experience I've had. Needless to say, these come very highly recommended.
