Hi there,
I'm looking for a pair of open-back headphones under 400$, primarily movie watching and a bit of gaming, and currently have for testing the Philips Fidelio X2HR and the Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition, using a SBX G6.
My problem is that while I prefer the, what feels to me, clearer soundstage of the Fidelio for movie watching, they're pretty heavy and uncomfortable with the headband putting too much pressure on my head while the light 990 are a perfect fit for my (small) head even after several hours of playing Doom Eternal.
I'm considering the AKG 712 Pro and Sennheiser HD 598 as alternatives and would be interested to hear what you folks think about the idea.
Thanks!
