Hi, please, I do look for headphones that would been in this price cathegory be best in blues music eventually jazz, I will also post to IEM and earbuds as maybe for this money, these can be better…though, no idea

I was first thinking of HiFi Man SE open back…do not know if good choice or what would You suggest in this price range, Im fully aware I cant expact miracles

I will listen mostly on phone (Spotify) so streaming music, also from other streaming platforms

Thanks to everyone who will contribute and make my life at least bit easier, googling whole day with not much of a result

Only thing I know it should have good mids and lows and be neutral, bit warm, correct?

Happy New Year guys!

Definitely not a hifiman, those are too bright and lacks bass. You need something warmer and with more bass. Koss KH30i should be a good budget pick for you.

If you want at least one hp, one iem and one earbud, then a solid budget collection would be
HP: Koss KPH30i
Earbuds: Qian39 + Yincrow X6
Iems: Blon Z300 (im not up to date with iems though)
(these should be less than 100 usd in total.)

My advice is that you find which type you prefer first before spending more on a single one. It is why I recommend dipping your toes with the cheap budget recs in every category.

FiiO FT1 closed back heaphones, $149. 60mm dynamic drivers, over ear. Very well reviewed and great performance for its price. Paired with FiiO KA11 USB type C dongle DAC $29, it needs the power to drive from phone.
This pairing should keep you happy for a long time.

For Blues I find that kph30i hangs with the Drop HD58x, which is my goto openback with bass, but it would eat most of the budget.

I love Qian39 for blues and it is a great all around set.

For iems z300 is a solid pick, I enjoy the Artti R1 too. The Sivga Que is a really good pick with a wider stage than the others.

Look for reviews of the Fiio FT1. They seem really good. I would go for them.
