As the title says I am looking for recommendations for what would be a good open backed dark or warm sounding set of cans. I am not made or money so nothing to pricey.
edit: for sure my budget is below $400, ideally below $300.
edit: thanks for all the input so far, its a lot to think about. Ill have to sleep on it all, I have a new set of pads for my set of closed back arriving soonish if they make a noticeable improvement I may not need a new set of cans or it may just mean I can settle for another closed back set that simply not as claustrophobic from the git go and do a pad swap.
I usually listen to everything rock and synthwave. The reason I am asking this specific question is that I am treble sensitive and have some minor tinnitus in my left ear. well minor except when I don’t use closed back headphones. closed backs give me a headache a case of whistle in the ear .
Gotcha, well something actually more inoffensive then the 58x would be the 6xx which might have a lower chance of being harsh on the ear, you just want to have an amp
I also have some tinnitus (from live shows most likely… I regret nothing) and the fidelio x2s havent bothered me in the slightest… I’m not recommending anything because I have very limited experience with headphones but thought this might be helpful to hear.
the 58x is a more neutral-ish sounding headphones, I would really like something more focused on the low end. particularly as I already have a neutral ish set of cans.
You can typically find them used around $500, but still not in range. You may want to check out the Nighthawks, but those are so polarizing and unique, you really should audition them first.
