Looking to try some open back headphones, I'm usually an IEMs or clip-ons user. I don't want a heavy or clamping feel on my head, which is on the bigger side.
Under $200 if possible. For sound I like warm and smooth, I'd read some reviews of entrylevel ones that sometimes mentioned being a bit harsh on the treble etc, so hoping for some smoothness.

Also sounds ok without an amp, if possible. But if I end up digging this kind of thing I may get one too. Thanks!

If you choose to get it, consider upgrading the ear pads with this ear pad adapter:

The Angled sheepskin ear pads will give your ears comfort, further ease on the clamping over time on your head, and add more soundstage.

If you can stretch your budget to $220, I strongly suggest you the drop hd6xx, this are legendary hd650 and totally worth the invest in a long time term. Additionally this are well know to scale with your gear.

Beyerdynamic Tygr 300R is also a very good one. It has nice warm sound and treble is pleasantly smooth and non-piercing too.

Philips X2HR. Smooth / warm sound, no need for an amp, usually ~$150, have gone on sale as low as $100 for Black Friday and the like.

I don't personally find them too heavy, but they aren't the lightest headphones ever.
