The AKG 371 closed backed headphones measure incredibly well, especially for the price. They mirror the Harmon Curve and have low distortion. What is the best example of some open backed headphones like that? The HiFiMan Sundaras come to mind. Are there other or better examples of inexpensive and open backed headphones? I'm asking, because I want to make sure there isn't something out there I've missed. If the AKG 371 is the close-backed budget king, is there an open-backed budget queen? I'm not sure where the cutoff for "budget" would be, but I would think $500 would be the absolute maximum cost for such a designation, IMHO.
Thanks.
Thanks.
