How much do you want to spend ?

My CD player is older than many users in this sub. I can relate.

What are you looking to spend? You want closed, to block out the family or open?

Personally I'm a big fan of beyerdynamic. Love their dt770. Well build, really comfortable and well priced at 130 euros. For a 120 more you get their DT700 which resolves a TON more detail but is slightly less warm sounding. With your listening habits I wouldn't go any further.

Another route is to jump on the bluetooth bandwagon. The current sony and bose offerings do allow the use of a cable as well as bluetooth. They cancel ambient noise but are tuned to a consumer sound, bass heavy with little details in the mids and highs.

If sound quality is not the top priority, comfort and durability should be. The Drop Sennheiser 6XX is supposed to be light and durable. Dan Clark Aeon headphones (including their Drop variants) are also very light and extremely comfortable, but cost a bit more. If you want something cheaper, Sony MDR-7506 is very light and lasts forever.

All of these come with 3.5mm cables that can be adapted for 1/4 inch inputs on stereo receivers.

The are great $200 headphones and mind-blowing ones for $1500, you'll have to set a budget so that people can recommend you the best options for that price.

My advice for now would be to rip your CD collection into flacs (or just download them if you can find them in that format, which you will for the most popular titles) so you can listen to them wherever and whenever you want from a PC or phone, having immediate access to every song without having to change the discs. Using a PC will also give you the possibility of equalizing your headphones, which is a huge plus.

>Rule 2: Ask purchase help questions in the Shopping and Setup Help Desk found at https://reddit.com/r/headphones/about/sticky > >Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping and Setup Help Desk found at /r/headphones/about/sticky instead of a new post.

You may also use r/headphoneadvice but please search their resources and familiarize yourself with their rules first before posting.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

  • A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

  • Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

  • Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?

What if the link doesn't work?

  • The post can usually be found on the top r/headphones, and titled Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk.

Sorry, posted in the wrong place. In the meantime, my wife got me some headphones so I am charging those now and they seem like they'll hook up :)
