I went through a phase where I was buying all sort of drivers and putting them into whatever. The 2 biggest suggestions I can make are from Aliexpress.

52mm Denon Edge Free $70ish - They have a black plastic or brass housing versions. The 300 Ohm brass is amazing on tubes. A nice sightly V-shape depending what you put it in.

But I think the one you are looking for is the K100 50mm $80ish. It's a white/chrome cone with a blue housing. It is the MOST detailed thing I've ever heard. Almost like listening to a set of Makie monitors... almost. You will have to "tune" the cans to get it close to what you are looking for.

qigom k100? (32/60/300/500/700/900 ohm?) in these offers buy the 500, I hope you surprise me

i've been testing some less expensive qigom models and the n90q is fabulous and the others have their own charm as well (hd800, hd650, 777)

I had the 60 Ohm version. Unfortunately, I had a magnet mishap. I had them in the Monoprice Retro frame with Brainwavz hybrid pads and was very surprised. I was going to put them into my Philips Fidelio frame and as I placed the driver on the table, the screwdriver magically shot across the table (really only couple of inches) and impaled the cone. I was super pissed and will buy them again sometime.

I share the misfortune, in my case it was an accident between the two drivers... and also a naughty nephew who almost made the n90q's useless... in both cases it was almost completely solved, but it is never the same

I'm looking forward to the k100 500 ohm, the 60 ohm was the second option
