I'm looking to buy open-back headphones to experience a better soundstage and overall sound. I don't have much experience with headphones so I'm not entirely sure what characteristics I should look for the most.
I mostly listen to synthwave, and 70-80's rock, and play videogames when I have the time. Currently own an ATH-M50X pair and I'm satisfied with them (recently swapped the earpads to microsuede after 2 years, damn PU leather flaking off), had a cheap no-name Bluetooth pair previously.
The cans that have attracted me the most so far have been the 6xx, Fidelio X2HR, and Sundaras; the first two of which I was a bit unsure about due to somewhat low bass (pretty sure synthwave is a bit bassy...) and the last one while it seemed really good it might not be worth taking the QA lottery, if that's still an issue?
I could stretch my budget to about 350€ maybe more (just for the headphones) if I'm sure to get years of use and good build quality out of them.
I live in the EU so expensive customs could be a deciding factor.
Cheers.
