Fiio FT1s
Reddit take
Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.
Pros
- I would also recommend to rather go straight for the Fiio FT1s, as someone else has already suggested, as they are not quite as “extreme” as the Meze 99 Classics.
- The Fiio Ft1s are a great deal for closed backs though, maybe buy those and get a nicer pair of open backs later down the road.
- My recommendation would be to snag a pair of Fiio FT1s for $160 and live with them awhile, and see if you like the way that they sound and how they sit on your head. Closed backs aren't for everyone, but the FT1 is the only one I recomme...
- If you can find a used pair of Fiio FT1s, they're a really great pair of inexpensive closed backs, and will be worlds better for production than anything Razer makes.
- I would avoid gaming headsets entirely in favour of dedicated headphones, maybe something like the Fiio FT1s
Cons
- I'd recommend the Fiio FT1s because they're considered the best performance for the money, but the soundstage on them isn't wide. ... They're a solid pick for the price, just be warned that if you're coming from open-backs expecting simi...
- I was mostly looking between Beyerdynamic DT 1770 Pro MK1s, Fiio FT1s, and Sennheiser Momentum 4s.

My recommendation would be to snag a pair of Fiio FT1s for $160 and live with them awhile, and see if you like the way that they sound and how they sit on your head. Closed backs aren't for everyone, but the FT1 is the only one I recommend under $500 without any reservations.

Super happy with the sound, fit, quality of them and use them for at least 8 - 10 hours a day. I'm retired and spend most of my time watching movies, listening to music etc through these. I did own a DAC/AMP already, but they work fine plugged directly into my PC. Easy to drive. Full sound, good bass, but not overwhelming. Good soundstage. I tweaked them a small amount with an EQ, but out of the box the sound is very clean.

I think you'd like the Fiio FT1s better, as others have recommended. *Much* better bass.
For closed backs I'd go for fiio ft1s
