Reply to What are some of the headphones which most replicate speakers? by natidone

Raal S1-RB, mysphere, and AB-1266 iterations are all basically little speakers that you suspend on your head and toe-in/out to approximate a 2-channel presentation. Very out of your head music experience. There is no earpad seal like with traditional cans.

It's definitely not for everyone.

I would try them out with some other amps with higher power output and see if the distant sound issue persists. 250 mw into 42 ohms sounds a bit low.

As others have said, when going from your main set of cans to a new set, your brain takes some time to adjust.

Meze 109 Pro sounds like more of a right fit for you for affordable, easy to drive listening pleasure. In the higher end, but still less expensive than Diana TC, the ZMF caldera with its big beautiful bass, lovely tuning and technicalities. Same with DCA Expanse, though hard to drive.
