Short answer: the Superlux HD 660 Pro 150 Ohm. It ranks #57 of 216 over-ear headphones by sound quality, rated 4.1/5, at $34; the FiiO EH11 ranks #97, rated 3.8/5, at $29.99. Close enough in price that the sound-quality gap is the deciding factor.
The case for the Superlux HD 660 Pro 150 Ohm: A preference score of 83 in oratory1990’s measurement is remarkable for a budget headphone, with sub-bass and bass about 1 dB above target down to 20 Hz for a full, punchy low end. The catch: A 6.1 dB peak near 6.4 kHz can make sibilance and cymbals splashy, and a 7.2 dB dip near 9.4 kHz follows it, so the treble sounds uneven.
Buy the Superlux HD 660 Pro 150 Ohm. It is rated higher for sound quality, and saving $4.01 with the FiiO EH11 does not make up for the sound-quality gap.

The Two Headphones In Full
Superlux HD 660 Pro 150 Ohm: $34 Thomann eBay
Pros: A preference score of 83 in oratory1990’s measurement is remarkable for a budget headphone, with sub-bass and bass about 1 dB above target down to 20 Hz for a full, punchy low end. It rates well above the Koss KPH30i and the AKG K240 Studio. The closed back isolates outside noise, suiting tracking and commuting.
Cons: A 6.1 dB peak near 6.4 kHz can make sibilance and cymbals splashy, and a 7.2 dB dip near 9.4 kHz follows it, so the treble sounds uneven. The 150 ohm impedance means some phones will run out of volume, and at 323 g it is not light.
