I really love my 9500s. It sounds like these are similar with a little more bass and maybe not quite as even mids. Could be better, depending on what you want. https://www.rtings.com/headphones.../371/16250

I really 🫶 my 9500's, too. I got them after watching several YT reviews a few years back. Everyone was raving about their low price and sound quality, etc., but I didn't realize what issues open-backed headphones presented if you wanted to use them with others around. They will definitely annoy TV watchers anywhere near, and workmates who hate dubstep. Be warned! ðŸ¤

Yes, the positive side of that is that you can still hear other people, so if someone comes in and asks me something, I can hear them even if I'm listening to music. It also sounds more natural than closed back in my experience. But definitely not as good for privacy

The Hifiman Sundara planar magnetic headphones are a bargain for the price point. Got mine direct from manufacturer, open box for $240 and no sales tax. Worth it, they are more immersive (for movies, gaming) better build quality and more comfortable than my Beyerdynamic DT 770 Pro.

I can see the price... and I'm saying the jump from $60 to $240 is enormous.
If someone can afford $60 headphones, it's only a matter of additional time/patience until they can afford $240 headphones, and it's worth the wait. It's the value sweet spot.
The value sweet spot isn't $240 when a good quality Sennheiser goes for $120...$240 is top of the line and anything above that is for audiophiles.
For 90% of people these for $60 is going to be more than enough.
is there any reason there aren't any over ear open back bluetooth headphones? everything i see is wired or not open back. If anyone can recommend any that I can't find in a search please do. For now i'll try these with a 3.5mm bt adapter.

Actually there are. Grado GW100x.
Your plan is solid though. Get a decent BT Adapter (Fiio for example) and the sound quality will be much better than the "adapter" that manufacturer put in their headphones. The only downside is it doesn't look quiet as "clean"

This one should be at least same as 9500, am I right?
