hi ! 
I'm looking to buy a an open back headphone that would allow me to listen to music for a while without warming up my ears.  I'm looking to spend as little as possible. The options are as follows !

1. Philips SHP9500 ( 60 - 70 ) dollars, i keep hearing good things about it.
2. Grado SR80i ( 100 ) dollars, i want bigger drivers
3. ATH AD700X ~ 100 dollars, dont want it.
4. AKG Q701 ~ i don't have 200 dollars.

I'm trying to save up for a fidelio X2, or something else around 200~300 dollar budget. I have a ath m50x, vmoda m80, fiio e10k, x1, shure se215, klipsch s4i, westone adv and a ue350. 

I'm leaning towards the Philips. Any other suggestions ? I want a can with good/moderate bass.

Stick with the X2.

Do you mean "in one year"?
 
If so, your best options could be quite different--as well as pricing on what is already on your list.

I just spent my money on other stuff so no more expensive audio gear in at least an year. Thats what i meant.

Im just looking for something cheap but nice. The shp9500 seems to be a good option and im just looking for opinions

You can get them from Newegg (with coupon code) for $50.  At that price they are an excellent value after they are burned in.  They have a "V" shaped sound signature.
