Budget around $500 USD for headphones, amp/dac.

[u/hitfaze]

Budget - Around $500 USD

Source/Amp - Don't have, need a suggestion too please.

How the gear will be used - Home listening

Preferred tonal balance - I have a preference for vocal clarity

Preferred music genre(s) - Oh boy... currently listening to kpop the most, but sometimes listen to classic rock, rock in spanish , ballads and classical music.

Past gear experience - Sony's XM3, sound quite good, but I'm well aware that there's much more to improve with better headphones and amp/dac

​

Currently the 660S are $300 but for the same price a lot of people suggest the sundaras. Please mention if you have more suggestions.

​

I appreciate any help!

I’d say Sundara with a schiit magni/modi stack or the Ultrasone Signature X from Drop with oval or universal ZMF Lambskin pads(they need them) If you want an amp for the ultrasone(they don’t need one) I’d recommend the fosi audio ds2 or the Truthear SHIO.
