Hi everyone, i want some advice, so my budget maxes out at 100usd, I want to try an open back or new experience but on the other side I want to buy it for work use too,

my past headphone is ath-msr7se which the left ones died after 4years and have ath m20x still going on after 10years.

Could anyone share any suggestions? I heard edifier wireless w820nb+ is adequate for the budget but on the other hand grado sr60x seems to have really awesome sounds after watching dankpods (i've listened from friends too, grado sr60i which is very fun, but i dont know for long term use)

I wouldn't consider myself an audiophile but the Grado 60x were probably the best sub-$100 headphones I've ever owned. I like how open headphones sound and used them at work because I didn't want to miss it if someone was talking to me. I worked in a fairly quiet office, though so if you are in a high ambient noise area it might not be your best bet. I'm currently using the Sennheiser Game One (Game Zero is the closed version), because it has a mic. I got tired of having to take off my headphones and switch to my phone headset twenty time a day.
