As the titles suggests, I'm shopping around for a new set of cans having not owned any for a couple of years now. My last pair were the Sennheiser HD569's which were relatively good until the synthetic coating on the headband and earcups started flaking off like black dust shortly after the warranty expired.
After a fair bit of research I initially narrowed it down to the Beyerdynamic DT770 Pro's or the Audio-Technica ATH-M50X's however today someone suggested that I should also consider the Sennheiser HD560S's. They are slightly more expensive but (according to him) they're superior to both the M50X's and DT770's in terms of sound quality/sound reproduction and have have much better stereo imaging/sound-staging because they are open back.
Looking at reviews the HD560S's have been extremely well received and are getting a lot of praise from various tech reviewers so they've also been added to my shortlist.
Any suggestions/recommendations on these cans or any others that I've not mentioned would be most helpful.
