Hey,
I am looking to buy a pair of open back headphones. My budget is ~300$. I am coming from 2ch setup (Vivid audio oval), the only headphones I own are the grado sr60e. I listen primarily to classical (I'm a classical guitarist) and jazz. As for the source I will probably use my android phone, but I'm looking to get audioquest dragonfly in near future.
Thanks for your recommendations

The HiFiMan Sundara can be had for $350 and it's probably the best value under $500. You would want to get an amp with them though.

Or the Massdrop HD6XX (basically an HD650) for 220, add something like a JDS labs Atom for 100 bucks and presto! Don’t like driving mine from my phone though. Not enough oomph, though volume is OK.
