Who Told Vorderman People Care What She...

Hi everyone, I need help finding over-ear open-back planar magnetic headphones. I have some questions: What exactly is open-back? I heard it improves music, but I would like you guys to tell me on a scale from 1 to 900 how much it improves music compared to normal headphones. I'm in the market to find some headphones that improve and enhance music as much as possible. My price range is under $700, and I want the earcup to be 100mm. I want the earcups to drown my ears. If you're unable to find the 100mm size, then if you mind, find a size as close as possible to 100mm. In other words, numerically closest to 100mm, whether that's slightly below 100mm, I don't mind if it's below 100mm, but would prefer if you can stick to 100mm, please. I would like the headphones to have a hard case like Audeze headphones. For example, solid hard like a Pelican case, like the Audeze. I want to have cut pluckable foam, the tailored foam that you can take out and put back in if you need it. I would also like a balanced cable, XLR, and thick, the thickness of a plug like from a microwave or TV or oven thickness. I would like for it to be zero plastic in the headphones and to have real leather earcups. As for sound quality, I want it to be warm like vintage speakers and to have bass that shakes the room. I also want it to have a vinyl record sound to it, an analog sound, and a vacuum tube sound to the headphones.
I want to feel like I'm in the music studio with singers, allowing me to feel like I'm right next to artists like Earth, Wind & Fire, Jackson 5, Stevie Wonder, etc. I want the headphones to sound like what the singer intended, as if I'm transported right into the recording studio with them. I want to feel like I'm experiencing the same rich, enveloping soundscape that the singer or musicians heard during the production sessions. I understand there may or may not be headphones that come close to all of my criteria, but I'm asking you guys for some help to find headphones that come as close to all of my criteria as much as possible, even if it's not 100%. But I would prefer if you don't mind finding me options that come as close as possible to everything and all of my criteria.
I also want to hear everything, nothing mute or washed out. In other words, I don't want the drums muted and the piano or other instruments lowered. I want to hear everything and all instruments, pinpoint everything. I want to use them with portable headphone amps like the amp xDuoo, etc.
I also want you guys to tell me how loud I need to put them because they say you need them louder than normal headphones, but I don't want to go deaf. So, I would like you guys to tell me how loud I need them. I want to keep my hearing. I enjoy listening to oldies music from the 1940s, 1950s, 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. That's it. Again, can you guys please give me an honest, dead-serious recommendation and a scale from 1 to 900 for how loud I should use these headphones? I really want to make sure I'm not damaging my hearing, but I also want to get the full, immersive experience out of them.
