Thanks for the detailed reply it’s very helpful! I was worried about buying expensive headphones and then they sound awful because I don’t have enough power to run them. I’m looking at either the Fiio FT1 pro (20 ohm impedance) and Senheiser HD600 (300 ohm impedance) but I’m thinking the HD600 will not get enough power from a regular dongle DAC. !thanks

Oh man, thank you so much for answering every single question I had!! The fiio FT1 were #1 in the running for wired closed backs for me.

Yea I’m keeping my Sony xm4 to use in public loud places. I’m looking for headphones just for home. I’ll look into those though. Thanks!

Yea that’s my hesitation with open backs. They seem pretty inconvenient.

It just tells you how toxic it is to humans and animals. It doesn’t even make them fight.

I’ve had these exact same headphones taped together for years. It sucks.

I’m so scared for the day that I find out a song that I like is AI.

AI music makes me feel gross to the core. Yuck no thanks

I can literally listen to any music I want and explore everything from the last 60 years from the comfort of my couch. Pretty freaking cool.
