Sennheiser HD 599

I have these - awesome first open-back pair. Sennheiser is state-of-the art and a favorite of mine. Can't go wrong. Plus it come's in an ivory set too.

Grado Prestige 325X

Great on-ear open-back series. Linked is the 325x model, but 225x and other models work well too.

open back (don't need an amp for these)

Audio Technica ATH-M50X

My first pair of headphones. Trusty, nothing insane when it comes to sound. An iconic piece of gear that will do the job.

Sennheiser Momentum 4

Perhaps it's Sennheiser bias, but I own and love these. Super comfy and crystal clear sound. I had the Momentum 3's too- arguably more stylish

Sony WH-1000XM6

On the steeper side, but lives up in terms of quality and features. Great ANC and overall sound. Winning Bluetooth headphone. XM5 and XM4 models are lovely as well.

closed back / bluetooth

Bose Quiet Comfort

Not necessarily an audiophile headphone, but a good pair from Bose. Good ANC and comfortable as the name suggests.

Koss Porta Pro

Too hot to not include. You may not get the crispest sound, but they look pretty damn good

a mix of honorable mentions
