Philips - Fidelio X3

In that price range and build like a tank, the philips fidelio lineup... X2HR or the X3.

My Beyerdynamic have lasted ages. But what I really miss is my Philips Fidelio originals, best headphones I have ever used

Fidelio x3 can be found for about 150€ new, which is I think less than half of original price they released with. For that price they're great. Very comfortable and good build quality with actual leather instead of the bullshit fake leather that starts flaking off after a year or two.

Fidelio x3 are cheap nowadays. They're very comfortable. I have x2hr but the x3 my gf has seem way more durable.

I use a V-moda mic boom with a Philips brand open back headphones (forgot the model name).  Open back headphones will give you a more natural ooen sound as sound pases into your ears and out of the headphones and radiates all around you like real.sound does. Doesn't come at you in 1 direction but all around. A caveat is open backs aren't good to use for people sleeping around you, for edsmple, as they'll hear the game/music too if your volume is high enough but it'll sound amazing if you're only use to closed back headphones. People who produce, play, and mix music nearly always use open backs to get that detailed natural sound. Works great in games too 👍

I own the Fidelio X2HR and X3. I like them both

Agreed, x2hr is like wearing a cloud. The x3 was a major step back.
