Posted December 2, 2017 The most I will spend is $125, I don't want to get a DAC. I just want an entry level open back, over the ear pair. Whats a fantastic pair of open back, over the ear headphones for the price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 2, 2017 I have skullcandy crusher headphones. They are really comfterable and they literally shake when listening to bass. But theres a slider for the base amount. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Posted December 2, 2017 Not sure what your currency works out to be but the sennheiser hd 558 is an excellent start to open headphones. Edit: The 559s are on sale on amazon atm so theyre well within your budget and are very similar to the 558s.

Posted December 2, 2017 Sennheiser HD559 or Philips SHP9500 would be good start on your audio journey.

Regardless, the HD559 and SHP9500 are both efficient enough that even with mobo audio, you should be able to get loud enough volume. Unless you're someone like a friend of mine who listens at ear bleeding level.

Posted December 2, 2017 Check Grado headphones, those dont't need an amp, are open back and their entry models are good for the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
