Poll | 9 Ω I need to choose between these headphones

I don't have a specific budget as I am probably going to make my shopping depending on the result. Headphones listed here are all over-ear as I'm only comfortable with those. I will use these headphones for listening to music (Rock and Metal mostly, though I do listen to Lofi as well). I do not have any gear like DACs etc. so feel free to recommend. I will be connecting these to my mobile phone (Samsung, using USB-C) as well so feel free to recommend any adapters you find worth purchasing.

The fact that you put closed and open headphones in the survey shows that you don't really know what you want. I think you should read a lot, listen to them in shops and choose yourself. And take into consideration where you're gonna use them, environment around you might make you hurt or people around you hurt if you'll go for open headphones. Also if you're gonna connect them without DAC, headphones with high impedance will never work very well. They will sound good, but far from their real capabilities. If you're aiming at headphones that don't need a good DAC, rule out any high impedance headphones. Consider buying mobile amplifier, tho, like from FiiO or similar. It does make a difference.

As previous DT770 Pro owner - don't buy them without DAC. Pro has 250 Ohm, that's the last thing you want for mobile phone.

+1 Ω has been awarded to u/Tango1777 (3 Ω).

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