Aside from sound blasters and some gaming headsets back in the day I've had:
-Creative Aurvana Live! - uncomfortable after exactly 1 hour. Sound was ok but kinda "dead". Not enough punch or low end imo. I preferred the rumbling bass of gaming headphones before. I've sold CAL! but bought new as a gift for fiancee years ago and she loved it.
-Brainwavz hm5 - Super hot and sweaty... super uncomfortable. Great cable and materials... flat sound with no bass almost at all and sibilant treble. This was not only uncomfortable but also very tiring to listen to.
-Koss Porta Pro - After having my head crushed by hm5 and sweating because of it and other over ears, I decided to look for something super light. I've compared back then (4 years ago) px100 and porta pro. Liked both but ended with buying Koss because it was a bit more fun and much more comfortable. It's to this day super light, I never sweat in it. Ears only get some hard spots after few hours but nothing bad. The sound is alive, fun, musical. Nothing tiring or sibilant about it. Just lacks some of the subbass and rumble of a closed gaming headphone but the midbass, highbass are great and the overall sound is very good. Open design annoys the lady sometimes
-Takstar pro82 - bought this one for fiancee after her cal! broke. I wanted to give it a try for a long time too. It's comfortable! not clamping hard or sweating (but it's winter). Goes lower in bass than porta pro but I think the bass sounds a bit worse/bleeding actually. Main problem with sibilant, harsh trumpets and some sound in chiptune/scene music I listen to sometimes. Some tracks are downright piercing my ears on this headphones. It's really nice otherwise and fiancee loves it.
Now I love Porta Pro but I see how much more CLEAR and DETAILED the pro82 is. I't almost adding another layer to the music in clarity... and another layer to the music in sub bass and low bass(even if it sounds bad) as it's the sensation that cannot be felt on Porta pro.
I've been looking to spend around 150usd. Possibly headphone that is easy to drive so I could use it with ps4 and not only e10k on pc but it is not a requirement.
Akg k361/371, Denon D1200, Meze Neo etc all caught my eye, everyone is also talking about DT770 (32ohm version has pleather pads and a short cable. don't want coiled 3 meters monster).
I've been to mp3store and tried k371 and 770 32ohm from my lg g6 and the K371 was just louder... but I did not had time to compare both properly. I think both sounded good but k371 was slipping off of my head. Something wrong with the pads shape and the hinges were rattling. 770 pads were not sealing too great but the clamp was less and I think it would be more comfortable.
I've also tried some media markt headphones and funnily enough - Sony xm3 and 950n were quite comfortable but I don't need any of noise canceling features and I've heard that the eq is wrong/worse without bluetooth connection.
Also tried Denon ah d1200 in denon store which was quite pleasant I think but could get hot. MM400 was also very nice... I might like Denon sound signature.
Maybe not surprisingly, some more on-ears were super comfortable at media markt. Skullcandy Grind, Riff(cheap crap but comfy) and Sennheiser HD100 were very comfy ear pillows. So was The bose on-ear (and qc25/35 too).
As You can see - I don't know what I want and I don't want to spend too much. You don't need to answer to this wall. It's ok
