I have sensitive head when it comes to headphones, if they aren't comfortable I have to take them off after half an hour right now I am considering Sennheiser HD 518, HD 558 , HD 598 and Beyerdynamic DT-990-Pro-250. I am open to other suggestions, as long as they are open and not over 200$ Budget - 200$ flexible Source - fiio e10k or onboard depending on which headphone I will get Requirements for Isolation - none. It's also helpful if you say where you mainly will use your headphones, for instance: At home Will you be using these Headphones in Public? no Preferred Type of Headphone - over ear Preferred tonal balance - overall balanced pair of headphones Past headphones - Beats mixr, I hate how uncomfortable they are so I am looking for really comfy pair Preferred Music - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqEu6JpIvqw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxofEmo3HA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wQLSsLVlt4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iIxxHmIPVN4 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IR5_rTCi-Bo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WM8bTdBs-cw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=chYn2J86lQk What would you like to improve on from your set-up - What are you looking for going into your next headphone? More bass? More detail? More treble? more comfort and more separation between instruments

Comfort is very subjective. I currently have a pair of ATH-M30x's that I can wear all day and not be uncomfortable because of the shaping of the cups and the comfort in the band.

If there's any way you can try pairs of the models you're interested, I'd go ahead and do that. The internet can't judge what will be comfortable on your head.

I used to hear that turtlebeach was all wonderful until I bought my first pair and I wanted to throw them out the window lol. I have also tried ihome headphones that felt just like the turtlebeach. I really dislike headphones and for along time would not buy them as they give me a headache putting pressure on my temples and my ears. I finally gave in to a pair of HyperX Cloud due to all the ratings. They are awesome and I can wear them the majority of the day gaming. They aren't too bad expensive. They have different connections you can use to hook in. Bought mine off amazon. Now, I have no idea about the mic as I barely use it, but the headphones are really comfy. I mostly use them for gaming and listening to music. I'm not sure what you mean by open, these are over the head with soft cushion. Hope that helps :)
