SeekerSennheiser HD 800 S
The Sennheiser HD 800 S are excellent for neutral sound. They have a very neutral sound profile that reproduces natural vocals and instruments. Although they're a bit light on the bass, this is to be expected from open-back headphones. On the upside, this design helps them create a spacious and out-of-head passive soundstage that will help immerse you in your audio. Additionally, the headphones have consistent audio delivery and aren't very sensitive to positioning, fit, or seal.
