So far they sound great and are a big upgrade in terms of resolution compared to the DT770s that I was using before. While it has less bass than the Beyers the quality and detail works really well with the other parts of the music, and EDM which is the main genre I listen to sounds exceptional with these and I have no doubt it will be the same for every other genre. So far I am running them with my Fiio E10K that I was also using previously so I’m definitely interested in getting a good upgrade to unlock the full potential of the Clears and to be able to use one of the two beautiful 3m cables, although have no real idea what I should get or how much I should spend, so any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Listening to the Clears now. They have a bit less bass than the 770s, but man the bass on these sound amazing. Texture reminds me of a high quality subwoofer.

I'm using my Focal Alpha 65 Evo studio monitors. They cost about as much as a pair of their headphones, and have totally got me into the brand, aside from some customer service snafus.

Did you equalize them? My HD560S sound much better, with a lot more bass, when equalized with Oratory1990's suggested filters. Also, I used the fiio e10k for around six years until I recently replaced it with the SMSL C200. Sounds a little bit better but it's infinitely more versatile.

the biggest upgrade you can make to any pair of headphones is being able to use a parametric equalizer (if you happen to mainly listen on a pc, this upgrade is as easy and free as installing equalizerAPO).
