So, I have concluded that I am OK with either semi-open or open back headphones. Since I have a separate studio bedroom, I think it would not be very different that listening to on speakers with the same ambient sound/noise around.
For semi-open back, I have DT 880 Pro 250 ohm as my choice.
For open back, based on comments here and elsewhere, I am hesitant about going Beyerdynamic route, and so thinking about one of the Sennheiser headphones - HD 560S, HD 600, or HD 650. I am not able to decide which one of these if I go for fully open-back. HD 560S would be probably the easiest of the three to drive using my audio interface and then HD 650 as it has better sensitivity. I don't want to buy a dedicated headphone amp outright as based on my research Komplete Audio 6 MK1 has one of the best headphone output specs I have seen for any audio interface and should drive any of these fairly well.
I listen to alternative-pop/rock, hip-hop, R&B, and electronic (not EDM) music.
I aim to produce beat-driven music (with/without my vocals, male) blending the same styles of music I listen to.
While I think it boils down to personal preference now, any last suggestions on which one would be the best as my first "open" type headphones would be appreciated.![:)]( "Smile")
