Hi everyone, looking for a pair of closed headphone (preferably with a removable cable) for around $200 CAD. Comfort is huge as it was an issue with my last pair of headphones (M50x). I'm also looking for clarity, powerful vocals, controlled bass, and a wide sound stage (I'm a beginner so please excuse any vague terminology). I know that closed headphones are not meant to have super wide sound stage, I'd go with open-backs but I'm going to be using these outside and in places where any sound leakage is bad.
These are the current candidate headphones that I've found so far:
- ATH-A900x (169.99 USD on amazon.com which is ~$211 CAD)
- Soundmagic HP100 (179.95 USD on amazon.com which is ~$224 CAD)
- AKG 550 ($199 USD on amazon.com which is ~$246 CAD)
- DT 770 250Ω (203.53 USD on amazon.com which is ~$252 CAD)
I was also looking at the XPT100 and the HM5 but they looked really bulky which is something I'm trying to avoid.
Not really quite sure what kind of sound signature I want, I pretty much listen to any genre, here are some examples of music I listen to:

Thanks for any help!
