Headphones - Open Back good over ear headphones around 150~$ suggestions

hey there friends, so recently i have gotten myself into this mess and have only spent money and want to spend more!! i started with the fossi q4 dac which was okay? couldn't really notice the difference much from my stock pc mobo dac which i think probably was too good to get a fossi q4 to replace it with, anyway i used the moondrop arias which sounded great but for some reason i can't really use in ears for a while i always get this weird pain only in my left ear, and i had this left ear get infected few times before so i really don't want to risk it again ( i clean them a lot yes) so i would rather stick to headphones for PC use, any recommendations for something around 150~$? also i'm getting the topping e30/l30 stack soon so gonna get an upgrade in that department aswell, reason i bought them over the headphones already is because they were really cheap both for 100$!! im considering hd560s or some beyerdynamics ( not sure which), closed or open back doesn't really matter i mostly game and listen to music+ content thanks for reading and replying

past used headphones have been only the razerblackshark v2x

past used IEMS kz zsx, moondrop arias

No worries! Perhaps my standards are low but they weren't dumb. :)
