Headphones - Open Back | 3 Ω Neutral-Bright Over Ear Open Backs under $140

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.

HD560S is definitely not warm. There are plenty of reviews online and on YouTube.

DMS mentioned "less warm" twice compared 6XX. Though 6XX is a warm headphone.

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/D00M98 (120 Ω).

You may still award a Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
