See if you can audition them first. I've heard mixed reviews.

I've already reviewed Nighthawk (on Ukrainian language).
Same review will be published on English next month (I hope) on DAR.

Outstanding. I'll look forward to reading it!

Sergio, I didn't think the Nighthawk were closed-back, are they? Do they attenuate any outside noise?

No, these cans are semi-opened, but attenuation of sound from outside is minimal. I think they can be used during travel.

I've read very good reviews of MrSpeaker Aeon Flow 'phones. I just ordered a pair to replace my great sounding but extremely heavy and uncomfortable Audeze LCD-XC 'phones.

They don’t have the weight of the Audeze (in both senses) but are very comfortable and sound great. You’ll enjoy them with your classical.

Grado is supposed to have their new wireless headphones out this week or next. Believe they are closed-back. Have not been able to get them to commit to a particular level (325e, etc.) they are supposed to be equal to.

Am using (when my wife allows - she's decided they are hers) the AKG Y50BT. Wanted to see what I think of the Bluetooth aptX communication and it works quite well with the AKGs. Not high-end sound, but not bad at all. Comfortable, as well.

Focal Utopia will have a closed back (and less expensive) model debuting at CES this year. The rep told me AD’s might have details as early as October.
