Closed Back Headphones

[BriniaSona]

 - No AMP

 - No USB

 - Removable 3.5mm Jack to use my own braided cables with it.

 - CLOSED-back, the person sitting 1 meter from me doesn't want to hear my games and songs.
 - Wired: I don't want them to die in 3 years and be unusable.

 - Easily changeable cups.

I mean, Beyerdynamic DT770 in 32 ohm configuration. 32 ohm is low impedance- so no need for a dedicated headphone amp. Only issue is the cable is fixed and you cannot change it

Not the M50x. They sound very bad. That is not even preference that is a fact.

Good closed back headphones are super hard to find, a 3.5mm input is not common at all in closed headphones, no specified budget is also super unhelpful, i don't know of any closed backs off the top of my head that use a 3.5mm input cable (the bit that plugs into the headphones, from how you worded your message that's what i think you want)

Rode NTH-100.......

 

*goes and grabs them, attempts to pull pads off, googles, then snap YES!*

 

Rode NTH-100 hand's down.  These are my baby and I love them with the passion of a thousand burning suns.  If I had to get rid of everything they would make my top 5 if not 3 headphones to keep.  Honestly if my budget was sub $200usd all in, they're exactly what I would get all day every day.  Let me explain....

 

They sound excellent without a dac or amp. They have a rich, full and detailed sound.  They have the option to add a boom mic.  SUPER comfortable and surprisingly will fit very large heads and ears despite their appearance.  Cooling gel pads that WORK!  Excellent customer support.  Aaaaand....... oh removeable cable pads and headband.

 

But first, or rather second, the controversy.  When they first launched they had an issue with the plastic locking mechanisms cracking.  My first pair was fine but I put all of my body weight on them and when I admitted this to Rode they gladly sent me another pair.  Second pair insta cracked and I e-mailed them asking if there is a fix in the works and they just said Fug it and sent me another pair free.  That third pair has been in use for about a year or less with an 11yo and no issues, I superglued my second pair and they work just fine.  Apparently there was a manufacturing defect in early batches.
