New Head-Fier
Hi everyone!
This is David. Last time when I posted in here, you helped me find my next Android-powered audio player, bang for buck and with TalkBack screen reader as accessibility. So, thank you all for the HiBi Digital M-300 recommendation!!!
Here I have a new little problem. At home I use a Babyface Pro FS from RME, and I'm now looking for a pair of headphones that when I'm playing the piano on my midi keyboard, I can be close to the sound source. Since I'll be using the headphones at home, I thought a pair of open-back headphones would be better than closed-back ones (unless you have a different opinion / suggestion on that point).
I live 3 hours by car from Sweetwater, a big music retail and online store in the US. So I can try the headphones out, but I do need to plan ahead. That said, I'd love for some suggestions, or even narrowing down the search field from you.
I've filtered the headphones to show ones with an open-back design and detachable headphone cable. The Babyface Pro FS has a quarter inch (6.35 MM) and eighth-inch (3.5 MM) headphone jacks. Both, I believe, are unbalanced jacks.
I'm not sure what a bang for buck cost is, so I don't yet have a set budget. But I'm definitely not paying more than $600. I don't think a pair of open-back headphones would be that expensive, but I may be wrong.
The headphone list is below, please help me narrow it all down here, thank you very much!
Sennheiser HD 600, 650, 660S2, 560S, 599, 490 Pro and Plus, 400 Pro, and 800 S.

Beyerdynamic DT 1990 Pro and DT 900 Pro X
Focal Clear Mg and Utopia 2022
HEDD HEDDphone Two, Mackie MC-450, Neumann NDH 30, Sony MDR-MV1 and Shure SRH1840
