Hi Everyone I am on the market for an open-back headphone to be used at home, without DAC/Amp on my laptop and phone and I need them to play videogames and watch youtube videos and listen to music. I want to upgrade since my actual Sony Playstation headset makes my ears feel uncomfortable after a while and give me headaches but most of all I feel trapped in them (probably a mix of clamping force and warmth on my ears).
This is what I am looking for in my next headphones:
Comfort (this is the most important parameter and I would like to wear them for long sessions without feeling the fatigue or the warmth on my ears).
Soundstage and Imaging (I would like to experience that famous "WOW" factor of the open-back headphones when it comes to sound stage and space feeling).
Sound quality (possibly balanced and warm for all types of usages).
Price around $200
Example of music albums I love to listen: The dark side of the moon (the Pink Floyd's album) Random Access Memories(Daft punk's album) so I would say rock, vocals, psychedelic etc. I don't listen to hip hop or rap music.
Which headset would you suggest based on my requirements? The ones that I am shortlisting at the moment are the ones mentioned in the title and for esthetic reasons, I would like to stick to them as I feel they are the most pleasant to look at as well.
Let me know your opinion and also if I shall include other headphones in the equation.
Cheers!
