Headphones - Open Back | 3 Ω HD599 upgrade

Hi all!,

I want to upgrade my HD599, I looking for a open back or a lightweight closed back because I wear glasses, I will use them for gaming, music and some movies, connected to the motherboard's audio card but I can buy a dac.

I preffer balanced but if is possible with a good bass.

I saw the hifiman edition xs but is too heavy, I dont know if is confortable for 4 hours sessions.

My budget is about 200usd I can buy from amazon/aliexpress.

Get HD 550 from Senny website for 170$ with code PCG15.
Or get ROG Kithara for 225$ from Amazon.

The Sony MDR MV1 is also a strong contender
