Shopping for closed-back Bluetooth & wired headphones under $200 CAD
Budget and location - $200 CAD or less. Live in Canada. Willing to shop online or in-person, though my local retailers are limited. Source/Amp - currently I use bluetooth with my Pixel 5, and wired on my desktop via my monitor's 3.5mm jack (monitor audio is supplied via DisplayPort.) Looking to add a DAC to the desktop at some point, but that is currently not feasible within budget.
Preferred tonal balance - I'd like to go for something more tonally balanced than my current headphones, but I'm fine if they emphasize something a bit.
Preferred music genres - A variety. I tend to listen to a mix of punk/metal/pop/rap/indie/jpop/kpop, and orchestral/"cinematic"
Past gear experience - My current set is Audio Technica's ATH-S220BT. I like their sound for the most part, and appreciate their ability to play even pretty low notes nicely, though at higher frequencies they tend to sound... not sure if tinny is the best way to describe it. It's like the sound starts to get compressed and the individual qualities of an instrument get lost.
Features - I'm quite happy with the S220BT's set. It has standard play/pause forward/vol up backward/vol down buttons. I don't like touch buttons, or flick controls that combine functions (my previous headphones would do vol up/down if you flicked, or forward/back if you held the control. I'd often end up skipping tracks when I was just trying to change the volume. As my budget doesn't really have room to have sets of headphones dedicated to both Bluetooth and wired use, and my interest in music production and gaming making purely Bluetooth unfeasible, I do want a set which can do both Bluetooth and wireless operation.
Anything else? I strongly prefer closed-back as I have small ear canals, which has led to problems with earbuds having trouble staying in my right ear, and all but refusing to stay in my left. And as I use headphones often while out and about for sensory reasons, open backs don't seem like a good fit.
All-in-all, if I need to just get a another set of the S220BT, I'm okay with that. I need to replace my current set as I've put them through a lot for about 5 years and they're definitely worse for wear at this point. But I would like to upgrade to something with better overall frequency response for music production purposes.
