Hi everyone, i want some advice, so my budget maxes out at 100usd, I want to try an open back or new experience but on the other side I want to buy it for work use too,

my past headphone is ath-msr7se which the left ones died after 4years and have ath m20x still going on after 10years.

Could anyone share any suggestions? I heard edifier wireless w820nb+ is adequate for the budget but on the other hand grado sr60x seems to have really awesome sounds after watching dankpods (i’ve listened from friends too, grado sr60i which is very fun, but i dont know for long term use)

    Openbacks are definitely the better choice for sound quality. However, you mentioned something for work use too. If you mean in an office environment with people around you, full openback cans might not be appropriate because of the sound leakage. I have the AKG K240s and they are semi-open back. That might be a good compromise because they don’t leak as much as long as you listen at a reasonable volume, and they’re around $70.
