Best open back is beyerdynamic. They have a few models, I like the TYGR 300R and the DT 990 pro x

beyerdynamic DT 990 PRO X. Best Headphones I’ve ever heard. You’ll need a DAC and headphone amplifier to get best results. But bass, middle and especially the heights are so beautiful. They are open back and the soundstage is phenomenal. If you’re more the closed back type go with the 770 Pro X.

beyerdynamic, dt 990 pro x these are actually open back, and with a usb c to hp jack they've been exquisite. straight into an analog record player, perfect. not reading too closely into your preferences but if you're anything like me and aren't audio engineering + doing any hardcore tweaking of file

Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro X (not to be confused with regular DT 770, or DT 700 Pro X which is over your budget) Or DT 990 Pro X (not to be confused with regular DT 990 or DT 900 Pro X).

Hey everyone I appreciate the responses I think I'm going to go with the dt 990 pro x 48 ohm I think that will get loud enough for me and be good.

Deadass dude. I bought some Sennhieser HD58X Jubilee’s off drop and it changed my life. The soundstage you get from open backs is insane and I cannot go back to closed backs. I tried, really wanted wireless, so I bought the Steeleseries Arctic Nova Pros with the DAC. And the closed backs sounded lik

Hey man I was you like 2 months ago. Bought the DT 990 pro X to use while playing arc raiders. Plugged them straight into the motherboard on the back and holy shit it’s night and day playing that game. Biggest competitive advantage I’ve gotten from any upgrade. At 48ohm, you do not need a dac amp. H

I had originally attempted to run a wired setup, I really wanted some audiophile type headsets to game/music/movies so I went with a DT 990 Pro 250ohm, DAC/AMP, and an AM8 Mic but for some reason my mic would constantly mute/unmute itself without anything being pressed and I'm just not a fan of wire

It depends on the noise level around you. My pc makes some noise under load just enough to annoy me and using open back phones such as dt 990 pro's masks subtle details while gaming. I sold them and bough closed back headphones. I think you do not want to increase volume to offset the noise, because
