I'd recommend HD598. Its open  back and super light weight. Very comfy, a lot more so than the M50x.

Bzzt. Wrong.

 

Low sensitivity means they will need a dedicated amplifier. 598 are high sensitivity, so thy usually don't.

Ohm rating is a generalization, not a definitive easy or hard to drive answer.
