Open-back wireless headphones/headset

So apparently I got an extremely annoying pair of ears. I've been through 4 headsets the last month, Arctis 7 (old version), HyperX Cloud Flight, Sennheiser PC37X and lately Logitech G933. The G933 are the ones who come the closest to being my type of headset, so I think that I've narrowed it down to, that I need a pair that has rectangular earpads and are over ears. The thing is though, that I don't like closed-back headsets, they clamp too much and they are too warm to wear for a long time.

Do you know of any wireless open-back headsets or headphones, that got rectangular earpads? Heck, I'm not even sure it has to be wireless.

I would say my budget is around $200-300.

Not really rectangular but Athens oval shape might be close enough but HD 58x or HD 6xx might do you ok. Cause the only rectangular open backs I can think of are stax and that's like 4x your budget

Yeah, Stax is ridiculously expensive. I still got my PC37X and I also forgot about a pair of AKG K702 I got laying around. Are the HD58x or HD6xx an upgrade over any of those two? Because I can use both, just not for longer periods of time. To be honest, I find the AKG more comfortable than the Sennheiser I got.

Yes they are nice upgrade over those 2 if you like the way the pc37x fit you will like the HD 58x and 6xx. If you are gaming I would recommend to grab the 58x. It's better than the 6xx for gaming

So these would be good?
