Reply to comment by 206Red in I bought my fiancee his first proper headphones for Christmas. Bonus a top hat attachment I made :) by RabbitLorx

I read your post and I think the HD660s would be the perfect choice. I tried the 560s in store and the 660 are much better. More detailed without being a headache. Really good imaging too and instrument separation. Its the best Goldilocks headphone. Definitely give them an audition in store.

Once you get the headphones you can think about an amp/dac so that they sound their best but you can live with plugging it straight into your pc. And really you dont need anything expensive. Look for something good and cheap or go second hand. Good luck on your search!

That's really great to hear :) I'll probably visit Sennheiser showroom next week and give them a try, looks exactly what I'm looking for

As for the DAC/amp, I've got the Loxjie A30 (mostly for my passive speakers) and a Tempotec Sonata III, but planning to get a Topping L30II/E30II or the Topping DX3 in near future

Thank you so much for your response :)

The parts for HD650 are hardly available, I had to pay for a whole headband assembly just to change my broken "hinge".
