I am after some open headphones that go around the ear. I primarily listen to electronic music (trance, drum and bass, breakbeat) and progressive rock. I am coming from the astro a40 headset and I have never really owned a proper set of headphones.
My budget is around $200 australian dollars, I have been looking at the sennheiser hd 598, the beyerdynamic dt 990 pro 250 ohm and the AKG Q701. I understand that the last two require an external amplifier, although I have heard that the dt 990s can run solely through the astro mixamp.
I am leaning towards the HD 598 due to the detachable cable and the fact that I can plug them straight into the mixamp. Please help, other recommendations welcome.
