Gfunk839: What wired headphones do you use? Sput rating /5

Jebull 03.24.26	Sennheiser HD 650 and Audio Technica ATH-M50x. Both are excellent imo
Gfunk839 03.24.26	Audiotechnica are available here for a fair price, sweet
JWT155 03.24.26	Sennheiser HD 595s Audio Technica ATH-M50x Sony MDR-7506 I’ve had a few pairs of Bose over the years and have Anker Bluetooth ear buds. The Sennheisers are open ear so if you plan on wearing publicly I’d make sure you get something closed ear.
Gfunk839 03.24.26	^TY. These would be for my PC desk at home, no worries about sound leakage or anything like that
Jurtz 03.24.26	I use: Beyerdynamic DT 990 Edition (32 Ohms, open back, at home), Mackie MC-350 (32 Ohms, closed back, in the office). I use the headphones with: AudioQuest DragonFly Cobalt DAC.
Gfunk839 03.24.26	Beyers look fantastic but outta my range. Ooo, I'm also interested in some type of soundcard/DAC for my pc Edit: Holy moly the price on that DAC is more than the headphones here
budgie 03.24.26	focal clears
Gfunk839 03.24.26	Those are new to me Budgie, look great. On the list. Edit: Holy Christ the price, nevermind
kkarron 03.24.26	Beyerdynamic 1770 on 250 ohms run through a Schiit Magni amp.
Above 03.24.26	beyerdynamic DT 770 pro x is a good option for closed back. no amp required
mkmusic1995 03.24.26	Sennheiser HD 599 SE Open-Backs, I think they go for about $150 on amazon. I love them, have had them for many years now
Gfunk839 03.24.26	Thanks folks! Keep em coming
daiguit91Kider 03.24.26	I'm full on IEMS right now, really good cost-benefit ratio, with that money you can buy a really good DAC and IEM combo
Gfunk839 03.24.26	I'm open to that .. what do you suggest?
Meborphus 03.24.26	Gonna parrot on the Sennheisers. The HD 600 is my go-to, and is a ~$500 pair of headphones that is often on sale for half as much. DragonFly Cobalt is a good DAC too. Also - bc I have to recommend it - the Technics AZ100 wireless earbuds are the best I've ever used in its class.
Gfunk839 03.24.26	Thanks ^. Appreciate that bud mention. Pretty sure I've seen them around, but they were never on my radar. I will keep them there now
gabba 03.24.26	I’m having issues with my dragonfly cobalt when using with my laptop, occasionally I get transient harsh noise, which is supposed to be due to unstable power supply via the built-in usb port. Just ordered an externally powered usb hub in hope of solving the issue because it drives me nuts.
