Budget - Max is $200
Source/Amp - laptop / smartphone, open to suggestions on cheap amps.
How the gear will be used - Primarily for long music and coding sessions from my laptop and media consumption from my phone. I will be wearing these for 40~50 hours a week. I play some video games, but I don't need a microphone.
*Preferred tonal balance - I have experience with the HIFI 400i headphones and love the sound to bits. I believe it has a neutral tonal balance.
Preferred music genre(s) - bedroom pop, shoegaze, west coast jazz, vaporwave, chillwave, house
Past gear experience - My only experience includes the HIFI 400i which I loved until it started falling apart. I've replaced the headband once after the cheap plastic swivel knob receptor broke, and ordered a new one and it broke in the same fashion shortly after the year warranty has passed.
Additional Notes - Build quality and comfort is a must after spending nearly double on parts for the HIFI 400i. I love the speakers and the quality of them, but I can't be bothered to spend another 75$ on the headband.
I wear glasses with thick plastic temples and didn't have any issues with my previous headset in regards to comfort. I believe open back ear pieces are important so my ears can breath, but I can compromise with closed back headphones too.
Being able to replace parts is nice as well, but I don't want to buy cheap to have to spend double what I've paid for the headset over 3 years.
TL;DR
Need sub $200 sturdy headphones with similar sound quality to HIFI 400i to be worn for 40~50 hours a week for music.
EDIT: Since my other headphones are beyond repair, I've made a knee jerk purchase on the Meze Neo... It's not exactly what I want as far as sound quality, but I'm not well off enough to purchase what I really want. Thanks for the help!
