Hello guys, i need a quick recommendation. I am looking to purchase, as i have said in the title, a pair of open headphones for 200-250$. I am looking mostly for a non-fatiguing sound and for them to be comfortable so i can wear them for 3-4 hours.
I have been looking at the Senn HD 598 and Beyerdynamic DT 990 pro.
Any other recommendations?
Which of these is the least sibilant or doesn't have a harsh treble?

do you want more bass? if yes, you may also want to look at x1

hmm yeah bass would be good too. how is the sibilance on them? i heard they were warm.
 
after looking they are too much for my budget atm. any other suggestions?

look DT 770. To which sources do you connect the headphone?

The K701 (or Q701) fit your budget and they are a step up from the 598s.

sorry, it was my mistake.....
you could consider DT 880 250 Ohm (semi open), philips fidelio x1 (open type)

i tried the dt880 for about a week and really didn't like it's sound signature.
