Over-Ear Headphones
Ranked #53 of 134 in Over-Ear Headphones - Philips SHP9500: $94.99 Amazon eBay
Pros: A preference score of 80 and a deviation of only 2.2 dB make the open back response smooth for the money, with bass from 60 to 200 Hz and the lower mids within half a dB of target. It is very easy to drive at 32 ohms and 101 dB sensitivity, so a phone runs it fine, and it weighs just 320 g. It costs far less than most headphones with a comparable score.
Cons: Sub-bass is about 9 dB below target under 60 Hz, so electronic and cinematic bass lacks rumble and slam. Presence is lifted about 2.3 dB, and a 6.7 dB peak near 6.2 kHz followed by a 4 dB dip near 7.7 kHz adds some edge to vocals and cymbals. The open back leaks sound and gives no isolation.

Over-Ear Headphones
Ranked #4 of 134 in Over-Ear Headphones - Philips Fidelio X2HR: $159.95 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: Its preference score of 94 comes from a smooth response within about 1.3 dB of the Harman target, with bass from 60 to 200 Hz and the midrange all within a dB of target. The slightly warm tilt suits listeners who find bright headphones fatiguing. At 30 ohms and 100 dB/mW it runs from a phone without a separate amp, and the 50 mm dynamic driver delivers it at a modest price compared with the Sennheiser HD 560S.
Cons: Sub-bass is about 4.6 dB below target, so the lowest notes in electronic and hip hop tracks lack impact. Treble from 6 kHz up is slightly recessed, with a 5 dB dip near 11.9 kHz, which takes some sparkle off cymbals. The open back leaks sound and offers no isolation, and at 380 g it is on the heavier side. Discontinued.

Ranked #79 of 134 in Over-Ear Headphones - Philips Fidelio X3: $149.99 Discontinued Amazon eBay
Pros: Bass is full, about 1.9 dB over target with the low mids up about 2 dB, giving a warm, weighty sound for rock and vocals. Treble from 6 to 10 kHz is about 2.8 dB over target, which adds detail and airiness. At 30 ohms and 98 dB/mW sensitivity it can be driven by a phone, and the open back gives a wide soundstage.
Cons: Sub-bass is about 5 dB under target, so the deepest rumble is missing despite the fuller bass. It has the least smooth response here at 3.0 dB deviation, with a 5.7 dB peak near 6.2 kHz and a 7.7 dB dip near 2.3 kHz that can make vocals recessed and then edgy. At 380 g the open back leaks sound and gives no isolation. Discontinued.
