Good headphones for 150€

[Mir0zz]

I am looking to buy new headphones and I need a little guidance with so many of them out there. I want openback headphones that cost MAX 165€, they need to be comfortable to wear for hours. Clamping force has to be small, since I bought and had to return the dt990pros because the clamping force caused head aches. I don't have an amp and i'm not excited to buy an amp and I don't think I necessarilly need one since I am not an audiophile, at least not yet. It also doesn't matter if they are wireless or not. I live in Finland. I have looked at some akg, beyerdynamics, sennheiser and audiotechinca headphones but haven't found the perfect one yet. Primary use is gaming, but when I listen to music I want it to sound good.

If you don't need a mic, the Audio Technica m50x is a great headset. I use it for music production & dj'ing. I'll have it on for hours at a time and they won't bother my ears.
If you do want a mic though, then try the Astro A20 headset(unless you can find an A40 for a good price).

Aren't they closed and a lot of people say that the m40x are better even though they are much cheaper.

I have not tried an m40x, but the m50x sounds great. Unfortunately it's not open back. Looks like the only decent pair of open back AKG's in your price range are the AKG 245's. Most "good" open back headphones are around $300+
