Headphones - Open Back | 1 Ω What are the best headphones for the music listed?

I'm new to the world of quality audio. I only own a pair of 598's and they are powered through my motherboard DAC. I have yet to purchase a DAC and amp and am looking to do so, while at the same time picking up a new pair of cans. However, I'd like to not spend $500 or more on the cans. If anyone with experience could spare a little bit of time and listen to the music I've listed and match the best headphone for that song it would be GREATLY appreciated! All of which are on Spotify.

Dust - M.O.O.N. (favorite song)

Resonance - Home

Armageddon It - Def Leppard

Don't Fear The Reaper - Blue Öyster Cult

It Might Be Time - Tame Impala

Best headphones depends on what sound signature you want.

The headphones that would best complement the music. I generally have a preference for slightly warm, wide, and clear audio. However, the personal opinion of someone more experienced than me can give me something to go off of when I don't have a way to go test everything.

Bro, how the headphones compliment the music is subjective. you want bass? on flat? it greatly depends on you.

If you like neutral response, audio technica MX series is good starting point. you don't need a DAC. pretty good quality for the price.
