Closed back headphones and Focal

I have a pair of fostex mass drop Purple Hearts which is a 900 clone. I also have sennheiser hd800 hifiman Arya and focal elaer cans, all open back. The fostex are excellent and a fun listen because bass response from those cans is stellar and sound isolation is also very good. The senn 800,s and Arya are more resolving and have a wider soundstage as most open backs do but the fostex are great. I changed the ear pads on my fostex and have been using them pretty hard for a couple of years they held up really well until I inadvertently stepped on them and broke a plastic hanger for one ear cup. The part is on order so that was my fault. I,ve listened to the Sony,s and they are nice but a lot more $ than fostex. For noise cancelling closed back Bluetooth cans I have a pair of sennheiser . Very nice, 30 hour run time, super comfy and that wonderful sennheiser sound. Hope that give u a little insight.  Happy can hunting. Todd

If you're in Portland, Echo Audio has a pretty good selection of headphones and they often have used Audeze headphones at great prices.  They currently have a pair of LCD-X (not closed back however).  They also have a pair of AKG812's, which are also not closed back, but very nice cans.  They are very detailed and neutral, a different sound signature from the Focals and very comfortable.

Thanks Big Greg. Yup, I have listened at Echo. Currently I need closed backs because my listening room is multipurpose. Living with other people ;) 

Anyone familiar with the LSA HP 2 closed back headphones? Thoughts?

@switzer145 Check out the thread “Anyone interested in nearly perfection on a headphone a a great price??” here from a few days ago also in the Headphones category — the OP has nice things to say about them and references several other headphones he’s compared them to.
