Need help choosing a closed-back headphone under ₹10k
I'm a beginner looking for my first proper over-ear headphones, budget under 10k INR($105), mainly for my gaming laptop. My primary use is story/single-player games, movies, anime and TV shows, not music analysis or competitive gaming.
I currently use OnePlus Nord Buds 3 Pro , and I want a clearly noticeable upgrade, especially in immersion, separation, detail and overall presentation. I often feel I need to push the Buds above ~60% volume to properly appreciate quieter OST layers, ambience and instruments.
I'm particularly interested in a larger/more spacious soundstage because I want games and movies to feel more immersive, although I'm not experienced enough to know how important soundstage actually is.
My music is mostly pop, some EDM and anime music. I have slightly large ears, so comfort and sufficiently large earcups matter, especially for long sessions.
The Sennheiser HD 569 is currently at the top of my list, but I'm concerned about reviews mentioning a warm/dark sound, possible muddiness and reduced treble/detail. I've also considered the ATH-M40x, FiiO JT1 and Sony MDR-7506, but each seems to have its own trade-offs.
Since I'm a beginner and don't really know my preferred sound signature yet, would you recommend the HD 569 for my use case, or would another closed-back under 10k INR($105) be a better choice? I'm mainly looking for something that will feel like a genuine upgrade from my Buds rather than simply sounding different.
