Suggestions in the $300ish (USD) Range - Listening for Enjoyment
I've been a music junkie for decades, but life has been so busy for a number of years that I mainly put tunes on in the background while doing whatever else. I now find myself with some extra free time and plan to start listening more actively...putting something on disappearing into it, taking in all the depth and detail without distraction.
To that end, I am trying to figure out a good set of headphones in the $300ish range (planning to also pickup a dedicated headphone amp). I will be in a quiet environment, so I am thinking open-back is the way to go. My musical taste runs a pretty wide gamut, but some of the bands that will be in heavy rotation include The Cure, Depeche Mode, Massive Attack, Prince, Tool, Rush...
I tend to be sensitive to the higher ranges, so I would want something that is clear but not too punchy in that range.
With that as context, I would be very appreciative of any suggestions anyone has to offer.
