Hello. I want to get a pair of headphones for around $600, but couldn't find a recommendations list anywhere. I am looking for a closed-back pair of full size headphones. I would prefer it if they came with a case. The impedance is not a deciding factor since I will be using a portable amp (most likely the Fiio Q5s with the AM3D module). A neutral sound signature is preferred, though it is not necessary. If possible, I would like the headband to be the type that has only 1 band, like the ones on Beyerdynamic headphones or the Drop HE-4XX. Thank you.

Ether CX would be a really great choice, but it's a little bit out of your budget since it's $750. Although, there's also the choice of the THX00 and the E-MU Teak, although both are not exactly neutral, they're kinda close to it.
Hope that helps.

Beyerdynamic dt 177X is currently on sale. Could work for you.

In their site: https://danclarkaudio.com/shop/headphones/closed.html
There is a AEON Flow Closed in open box that is $500 (from $799).
However, the headband is not the single type.

I saw that one for sale but I wasn't particularly drawn to it for some reason. Thank you for the suggestion though.
The THX00s and the E-MUs are not for sale currently, though I am sure they would be good choices. Thank you telling me about those, though.

TR/TH have a very clear V shape (recessed mids). For me unlistenable without EQ. And I think it is wrong to conclude you can drive any headphone well with a portable amp. Impedance is not all that matters. Efficiency has a great impact also.
