Anyone else suffer from tinnitus? May I ask- which headphones do you use?? I had abysmal luck with the Fidelio X2HR's (these were an all out assault on my ears, even after eq'ing and listening at lowest volumes). I switched to planars and my current daily drivers are the Hifiman HE4XX's, and they are really great—not fatiguing at all and I love them! However, I'm just getting back into the hobby and want to explore what else is out there! Anything bright or analytical leaning will be too painful for my ears, but what other cans do you guys recommend for warm/mid forward sound signatures under $500?
Thanks,

PS- is hifiguides.com a good reference?
PPS- I've also ordered a Schiit Magpie/ Mimby stack. Still en route! Hopefully these will complement my headphones in the right way and elevate the listening experience taking it from being just 'tolerable', and turn it into 'pleasurable'
