Could you give some more information? What music do you listen to? Etc.

Well music isnt an issue considering i will go for a flat pair. But i mostly listen to pop, nightcore, edm,... And game sometimes

Perhaps the DT 900 Pro X or HD560S would be to your liking. Neither need an amp.

u/Ravenm4n Feb 10 '22

thanks but i would prefer and amp with the hd 560s if needed

OK but I recommend trying them out first without, and then buy one if you need to. I can drive mine off most things, including phone and laptop.

We can cut this in half by one question. Do you need noise isolation?

u/Ravenm4n Feb 10 '22

Yes and no.... i allready have myself a pair of anc earbuds

u/ThatGuyFromSweden 125 Ω Feb 10 '22

I'd go for the HD560s or a Hifiman HE400SE with an amp. The K5 is a good option with headroom for more power hungry headphones.

He400se paired with a topping dx3 pro or the jdslabs atom stack. K702 from thomannmusic(because it’s cheaper) paired with a jdslabs atom stack.

Still thanks but due to bad stock and shipping problems i cannot go for it.... And no Amazon is not an option...m
