What I like and believe will work best based on my limited past experience:
-- large ear cups and non-fatiguing fit
-- open back
-- softer, tube-like, midrange-centric, easy to listen to presentation; mostly used at night with relaxing music
-- much prefer speaker listening and don't use them that regularly so budget is $500+/-
-- using my Lindemann Limetree Network streamer/DAC headphone output; pretty good for what it is but it's not tubes. Hoping I can find headphones that provide some tube richness. Not sure there is such a design lol but thought I'd check with the team here about it.
Any help will be greatly appreciated! I've owned four different AT models over the years and could just opt for ATH-AD2000X, but wanted to see if there are other options that will be a good fit. I ordered Ollo S4X headphones and have them now but plan to return them in the 30 day trial window they offer. Ear cups give too strong a sense of a closed-in feel and the sound is too straight-up neutral for my taste.
Thanks!
