Hi all

First serious headphone purchase, from a guy thats into hifi separates.

Looking for open back, sub 300$ full size headphones. Comfort and use through all systems including cell phones.

From my research ive narrowed down to 3 ( but i dont have to stick to them)

Given the requirements, any of HD650, Philips Fidelio X2, or Hifiman HE400i fit the bill?

Thanks!

By saying "use through all systems including cell phones" im assuming you dont plan on buying an amp? 

If no amp then of the 3 headphones listed the X2 is your only option.

If you have an amp i'd  ask you what your musical preferences are before suggesting a headphone.

Are you also using these in public as well?

Also be aware there are considerable differences between speakers and headphones.
