So I am currently trying the HD560S and the 900 Pro X.

First impression is, that the 900 Pro X sounds much ... deeper .. and with richer sound.

Excited to hear, if its suitable for the step locating task in EFT as well :D Music related I am very pleased.

Alright. I am already pretty excited :)

I keep that in mind, if its not fine and import one of these then :) (they seem to be not available in Europe)

Edit: Just saw its 170 US Dollars with shipping. Would a Zen DAC do the same?

​

The JDS would be over 200 Euros with taxes here ^^"

Thank you! Will read through that.

As I am not sure, if the WaveXLR will power the Headphones properly, can you suggest an affordable AMP for the HD560s or the 900 Pro X? 🤔

I see. According to their impedence I didnt think they are more demanding then 250 Ohm Beyerdynamic headphones.

Hm. Tough decision

Is the sound quality that much better to risk the worse QC? :D

What do you mean by moderately power demanding?

I have a pretty large head tbh :D

Never had open headphones though, but read, that some like them more for gaming, because they hear steps more.

How does the Sundara compare here? Thats available for around 300€ at Amazon.

Thank you! I looked at that today and unfortunately I am still not smarter. Although I could order both of them to try.

Key thing is, are the Pro X worth their money or is there a better bang for the buck.

Budget - 200 - 400€

Source - Elgato Wave XLR or a dac

Requirements for Isolation - not really. only used at home. Shouldnt be heard when using a mic, but I dont use my headphones at 100dB :D

Will you be using these Headphones in Public? Nope

Preferred Type of Headphone - Full - Sized over ear

Preferred tonal balance - Balanced and suitable for my needs, I dont need bass boosted like Beats for instance.

Past headphones - DT 770 Pro 250Ohm, MMX 300 and Hörluchs HL5210

Preferred Music - Electronic Music and Metal most of the time

What would you like to improve on from your set-up - My MMX 300 are only used for work and I dont want to wear IEM all the time.

My DT770 Pro are kinda broke after many years of usage, so I need a new allround Headphone for Music, Voice stuff and also Gaming.

Took a look at the DT 700 Pro X and 900 Pro X as well as the Hifiman Sundara, but I cannot try them out nearby, so I need kinda advice for new daily drivers.

I am located in Germany, so EU Availability would be kinda nice.
