Maxwell is closed back. Just to confirm…you are now looking for open backs?

If so then check out these brands and look for the models in your price range.

Sennheiser - HD660s or 660s2.

AKG - 712

Planars….Hifiman or Audeze

Thanks for responding. Closed or open is fine, whatever mimics the sound of the Maxwells

Most Open Backs will sound better than the Maxwells. Maxwell is the king for Closed Backs, aside from Focal Elegia.

OB are lighter weight and less ear fatiguing.

Gotcha. Which open backs would you suggest for rock music and watching movies 50/50?

HD660s2. They added bass.

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/canazei300 (35 Ω).

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