So I've been looking for a pair of open-back headphones with good soundstage, ok sub-bass extension, great imaging, and above all - comfort to allow for multi-hour listening. Also, I listen to mainly the following genres: R&B, rap/hip-hop, pop, EDM, jazz, and (sometimes) orchestral scores. I've narrowed it down to the Aeon X's by Dan Clark Audio (available on Drop) and the Sennheiser HD700's (which I'd buy second-hand as they're discontinued). I know the HD700's get a bad rep due to the treble peak and somewhat low sub-bass but I can just EQ them. I also should mention that I'll be using a Schitt Vali 2 hybrid tube amp, and finding some ultra-warm tubes for use (recommendations for which tubes are welcome).
What do people think I should go for, between these 2 choices?
