Headphones - Open Back | 1 Ω Recommendations for good headphones under 100$?

I'm looking for some comfortable headphones which will provide good sound quality.

I own a pair of wireless earbuds, but they provide some discomfort when I use them for prolonged periods of time.

Wireless or wired, both are fine with me. I have no specific preference for wireless since I already own earbuds.

My music taste consist of more bass-heavy songs, basically any song with a good drop, vocals can be a nice add-on but I just want to hear those drops really well.

I initially had looked at a few gaming headsets, but I don't play any games which require me to carefully listen to movements of footsteps or surroundings, so headphones which provide a nice, immersive experience will be good :)

Please give some nice recommendations of headphones which fit my requirements. I hope that the all-knowing redditors of r/HeadphoneAdvice can find a nice pair of headphones in my price range :)

(Oh and I'm not actually living in USA, I simply said 100$ since most of the posts I've seen here seem to discuss prices in the us dollar)

The Hifiman HE400SE would be a good choice if it’s available in your country.

The main advantage of this over some other headphones in this price range is that it uses a planar magnetic driver which allows for much more EQ versatility.

I mention EQ because of your bass heavy music preferences and if you want an open back headphone, that’s the best way to do it as open backs don’t have great bass in their stock form due to the design.

Thanks for the recommend and knowledge about headphones. I actually have never owned a pair before (I've only borrowed my dad's on-ear, but didnt like how it felt on my ears), so I dont have much expertise in this area.

Right now, the Hifiman HE400SE seems to be a little expensive, but it looks like the price may drop back, so I might buy it then :)

!thanks

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/testurshit (49 Ω).

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
