I'm new to headphones and have been combing through tons of info just to feel like I'm going in circles. Seems like everything is too dependent on application and everyone has a wide variety of preferences to just go by given information without asking for help with my own specific scenario. So here is what I have so far...
Right now I have a Sennheiser Game One that I use with my PS4. Heard it has good soundstage which would be good for a surround sound effect. To go with that, I had bought an Astro Mixamp Pro. That is the current limit of what I have. To complete the setup I was going to buy a Schiit Magni 3. I thought I was all set to go, but my situation got more complicated. Now I'm trying to use my headset at work, and open acoustic just isn't working out due to leaking way too much music.
I was looking into a closed acoustic headphone with decent bass and comfort is a HUGE issue for me, which is why after trying a few different headsets I ended up with the Game Ones. So I'm looking at trying the DT 770 Pro now for a closed headphone. From reviews it seems to have better bass than the Sennheiser, and should be quite comfortable with the velour pads. So I have a few questions.
Can I use the Magni 3 with my PS4 setup, and all by itself with the DT 770 Pro, or do I need the Modi 2 for the second setup?
Would it be worthwhile if I just went with the 32 ohm DT 770 Pro unamped instead of the 80 ohm amped?
Is there a worthwhile portable amp that I could just use with both setups and eliminate the Mixamp Pro?
Any other suggestions for comfort/bass over the DT 770 Pro for a current non-audiophile?
