Which Flamenco?

Picked up an Asus XG17! It’s a bit (very?) overkill, but I figure I’ll get enough use out of it.

Downsized from 10.3L to 9.5L! (Portable monitor should be arriving soon)

Jomo Audio has been around for a while though...? Unless your concerns are with MMR specifically.

My setup is kinda(?) similar to yours, and I also think you should stick with the e30. If it ain’t broke...

Well, you asked for a slightly warm sound signature.

It doesn’t mean you can’t still try out different gear. If you’re in the US for example, you can reach out to headphones.com where they have a year-long return policy and let them know about your situation (or other distributors that’ll let you borrow gear for a fee/deposit). Personal...

EDM? Z1R, CE-5, and Legend X are all pretty good for that.

$5000? Audition the hell out of everything and figure out what you really want unless you want buyer’s remorse.

Just goes to show how important personal preferences are - Atticus should be right up your alley

I personally like the Atticus for this. It’s less neutral than the VC and mid-bassier than the Eikon.

I omitted the HD580/600/650/660s because of the clamp. Not something I'd want to use if I still wore glasses - the 5xx/7xx/8xx are all more comfortable IMO.

Just spend an amount you're comfortable with and buy gear that you like at/below that price point. There isn't too much to it - personal preferences should be dominating purchasing decisions over all else. (For example, I think the HD820 is hot garbage even before factoring in the $2400 price...

The SQ leaves a lot to be desired, but HD700 is worth a look at that price range - specifically for gaming & long-term comfort.
