Does a balance headphone exist?

And if an headphone sound only inside the head with an headphone feel instead of a speakers feeling outside or around the head  it is unbalanced headphone  for my ears... 

Big +1 @mahgister It’s not only about balanced tonality but also imaging and soundstage.  For me, if everything sounds like it’s inside my head it’s very limiting and not enjoyable, so overall “balance” can mean different things to different people, as always.  But I have two pairs of Hifiman open-back ‘phones (HE400S and Arya Stealths) and find them to sound very neutral and balanced while also offering very good “out of the head” imaging/soundstage.  Of course your choice of amp, DAC, cables, etc. will significantly influence whatever “balance” you ultimately achieve as well, so it’s obviously not just about the headphones.  It’s the whole “the chain is only as strong as the weakest link” thing that’s pervasive and unavoidable throughout audio.

Thanks for your post and appreciation...

And you are right about the complexity of these concepts : "balance" is complex concept because it is not only a measurable quantities relating to some frequencies ratio it more so and importantly an acoustically felt impression associated to a soundfield 3-dimensionalities dynamics.. ...

And after timbre and distortion rate , the soundfield most important characteristics is not only the traditional two factors : imaging differentiation and soundstaging global dimensions but also Holographical VOLUME dimensions  associated with each sound source or instruments or playing chords ... These three factors constitute "immersiveness " quality of an headphone if the timbre is right and the distortion factor low...

Like headphone is good in every department. Bass , misd , treble , soundstage. Tonal , timbre.

It's balance. There's no outstanding part that's shine but like an general overall headphone?

Does these type of headphones exist?

Cause so far I seen doesn't matter cheap or expensive it's always some drawbacks.

And most headphone Excel at their own parts. Senn for the mids. Akg k series for their soundstage.

As for hifiman I don't know what department they are good at . But I do like the vocals sounds airy on the he400se. Which is crazy imo. Yeah.

I got this,..

You said it well : balance...

But this is for the frequencies scale...

The other part of the S.Q. for an headphyone is way more difficult to do right : acoustic of and inside the shell... Most headphone dont adress shell acoustic and his impact on psycho-acoustic translation by the brain ...

Then most  miss in the most important element of " immersiveness" for me , not imaging, not soundstaging ,not timbre, not dynamic,  not mere balance  but especially holographical 3-D volume associated with each instrument in a variable soundstage not a fixed one once for all...

Welcome here and my best to you...

I think @magister has nailed it with the word “immersiveness.” Not even sure that’s a real word, but it should be.  If you aren’t “immersive” in ur headphone experience, then what do u really have here? U have nothing. Search for “imersiveness” in headphones or search nothing. It is the end all be all of HeadFi listening. Full stop and @magister has absolutely nailed it IMHO.
