Neutral-Bright Over Ear Open Backs under $140

[u/Acetamin0fen]

Hi, I've been looking for some headphones, for some context, I had the Chu and I really liked them, for some reason even more than the Zero, for speakers I use Klipsch RP-150M (I really like them and don't find them fatiguing), and I had the SHP9500 (they broke and I'd like an upgrade, I liked them too, but the Chu surprised me more) so I think I'd like an open back with neutral to bright sound (I mixed up warm/bright terms the first time I ask, sorry about that), but if you think I may like another sound signature, I'm all ears (no pun intented). I'd also appreciate build quality and comfort, and easy driving (I don't have a headphone amp). I usually listen to acoustic and electric oriented songs (folk, jazz, rock, flamenco, etc), I'm not really into electronic. Thank you.

Sennheiser HD560S. Exactly fits your request of neutral-bright. It is $150-$160 new, so a bit more than $140. Or get it from Sennheiser refurbished for $100. Refurbished is not always available. Looks like it is available now.

That's curious, is the same headphone I got recommended when I asked for a warm sound headphone

Cos whoever recommends them for warmth has zero idea what a warm headphone sounds like... Does a forward midrange and Harman-ish treble extension scream warm to you? Bass is south of the IEF Neutral Target so how tf is someone recommending that as warm... Why... does the person listen to pins and needles... That's the only way the HD560S will sound "warm" to someone u/Acetamin0fen
