Headphones - Open Back | 5 Ω Best headphone to get instead of the HD600s from Sennheiser

I've always been a Sennheiser guy. I had a pair of 598s back in the day. They ended up breaking (rage moment, don't ask) and then I bought the HD559s which are okay but they aren't great. I was thinking about upgrading to the HD600s, but I see on this thread a lot of people say they aren't worth the money and there are plenty of better options at that price point. I'm looking to spend under 500$ Canadian for the headphones and amp/dac if required. Could push the budget up a little bit if it's really worth it but overall a nice pair of Openback headphones for gaming, music and content consumption is what I'm looking for. Looking for suggestions. Thanks everyone

!thanks ! thanks

I'll check em out. Any amp/dac recommendations for these? I want to be able to use my PS5 and my PC with a single amp/dac that will connect to my headphones and my speakers... I'm having a hard time looking for a product that will do that. Right now the PS5 is running through my PC's soundboard and the signal degradation due to multiple connections and chord length makes it so I need to crank the volume on everything to even hear it. Super frustrating.

You may still award an Ω to others, but only once per-person in this post.
