I love my Sennheiser HD600. They’re about $300 USD on Amazon, and they deliver some of the most natural and beautiful sound I’ve heard, especially because they are open-back.
They may not have the sound profile everyone is looking for, but to me they sound the most “real”—nothing is over or under emphasized artificially.
They won’t provide much rumble if you love lots of bass, but if you equalize them a tad in the lower ranges, you can somewhat fix that.
You will definitely need an amplifier and a DAC for them, though. The FiiO E10k pairs well with it, especially with the built-in bass boost function.
A cheaper alternative to these that aren't as nice build quality but are similar sound are the Sennheiser x Drop HD6XX's.
