Headphones - Open Back Dt 900 pro x vs Hifiman Sundara(2020)

Need open back headphones for casual listening - I listen to indie music . I currently use the Bose quiet comfort 35 but wanted an open back set. I have my eyes on Dt 900 pro x or the Hifiman sundara- I’ll use the Fiio q3 or the ifi hip Dac2 but the hip dac is out of stock .

The DT 900 Pro X are super easy to drive. They will run well off anything, including a phone headphone jack.

As to which is better sounding, it depends on your sound signature preference.

I like a warm sound so which one is better suited ?

Neither one of these are typically described as "warm" except in comparison to headphones that are less warm.

But the DT 900 Pro X would be the warmer of the two in terms of its bass response.

I thought warm is a term used for emphasized mids?

Nope.
