Like most open-back headphones, they have a very neutral sound profile with a very accurate mid-range response that ensures vocals and lead instruments reproduce accurately. They also have an open-back design, so they can create a wide, spacious-seeming passive soundstage that helps make your audio more immersive. Although their swiveling ear cups feel prone to breakage over time, they still have a very comfortable fit, meaning you won't feel fatigued during long listening sessions. At this price point, it's common to find more plasticky headphones, and these affordable over-ears are no exception. The Philips SHP9500 are the best wired over-ear headphones at the budget level we've tested. On the upside, they come with three different sets of audio cables you can swap out. Their sound is a bit warmer overall, though, and their passive soundstage doesn't feel as natural. Their treble range is a bit more recessed, which dulls sibilants. That said, if you're looking for closed-back headphones with a less analytical sound, check out the Audio-Technica ATH-M50x. They're also prone to inconsistent audio delivery, and you may notice a drop in bass if you wear glasses or have thick hair. However, their slightly bright sound makes cymbals a bit piercing. Their mid-range is well-balanced and neutral, so instruments and lead vocals are present and detailed. While their metal frame gives them a sturdy feel, their audio cable isn't detachable either, so if it gets damaged, you'll need to replace the entire unit. However, one of the trade-offs is that their soundstage doesn't sound as immersive or spacious as open-backs like the HiFiMan Edition XS since audio is prevented from interacting with your environment. These are the first closed-back headphones on our list and are worth checking out if you prioritize blocking out background noise and reducing audio leakage.

The Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO are the best mid-range wired headphones we've tested.
Their design is bulkier and less premium than the Sennheiser headphones, which have a very well-built, breathable, and comfortable fit. These headphones have planar magnetic drivers, meaning they can reproduce more thump, punch, and boom to mixes. They struggle to reproduce low-bass, so if you're looking for open-back headphones with more bass, check out the HiFiMan Arya. Their mid-range is very neutral, ensuring the accurate reproduction of vocals and lead instruments. These headphones have a well-balanced sound profile. You also need a powerful amp to drive them, which can be an extra expense if you don't already have one. They bleed audio by design, so it's best to use them in a quiet room. Although they're audiophile headphones, these well-known and premium over-ears can create an incredibly spacious and immersive passive soundstage, thanks to their open-back enclosure. The best wired over-ear headphones we've tested are the Sennheiser HD 800 S.
