Hello, Im searching some open-backed headphones for music production,
The budget is under 150€ / $160 
They can be also semi-open cans.
 
Im going to pair them with an Audio Interface, and would be great to hear also some recommendations about this ( around 100€ /  $110).
 
Thank you!

Are you looking for a dac/amp, or an interface?

Im looking for an interface.

  Im looking for an interface.

I am not very knowledgeable about interfaces, other than one or two. Somebody else will come along to help you.  ---)

Emu 0404 USB is very good.

Thanks for the advice.
Are those headphones comfortables while using glasses?
 
Can I have any other recommendation about open headphones please?
 
 
Im going to use the audio interface for recording a guitar, a microphone, and a midi piano, but I dont know if with the interface Im going to to get better audio for the headphones than just using my motherboard or if the audio interface is going to change only the latency.
If I wouldnt use stuff for recording, what should I buy for getting a better sound (What other options do I have)?
Thanks again!

Do you know if this open headphones are comfortable with glasses?

Does this Audio Interface gives better audio with headphones or just less latency?

Yes, the SHP9500 and the HD598 are both quite comfortable. Anyone who wears glasses is always going to have the potential for discomfort due to the earpiece being compressed by the cup of the headphone. That said, the Philips and The Sennheiser are two of the more comfortable headphones out there. I wear glasses and I wear my 598 for extended listening sessions with no issues regularly. Shouldn't be a problem.

I havent been able to go to a shop to try the Senn HD 598 yet, neither the SHP9500, but I'm also considering these open-back cans:
 
Akg K612 Pro
Beyerdynamic DT 880
Beyerdynamic DT 990
Pioneer SE-A1000
 
Also these ones, but I havent found enough information to make a desition:

SOMIC MH463
Status Audio OB-1
Fostex's TH-5BB 
Fostex’s TH-7BB
 
Any suggestion about these headphones or any other?
 
Thank you!

It looks like you expanded your budget. What is the budget now?

 

[wariwaro]

My budget is 200 euros for headphones and an amplifier if needed, if I could find headphones that doesnt need an amp, I could spend the total ammount on the cans.
 
Im considering also the option of buying an audio interface in the future for recording a midi piano and a microphone.
In case of needing an amp, would be great to know how should I connect it to the audio interface.
 
Thanks!

Akg K612 Pro is the best from that list

Even better than senn HD598?  Im looking for some flat frequency response headphones.
 
So my best option could be buying the Akg K612 Pro and an amp or is there any other suggestion?

If your looking for a neutral headphone you might save up and get the HD-600's.
