After months of searching, I've narrowed my last decision down to the Sennheiser HD599 and the SMSL M3. It is going to be my first personal time touching/hearing audiophile grade headphones, I cant wait to get my hands on them. I'll be using the setup 90% on my pc, listening 70% of the time to music (flac, spotify etc.) and the other 30% to gaming (mainly csgo and bf1). I chose the hd599 because of the arguably wide soundstage and the almost neutral sound signature (should I just buy the hd598's?), and the smsl m3 because it can drive a very wide variety of headphones (even the power hungry ones) if i am ever going to buy one and because of its overall quality, even though i would like to have the bass boost option like on the fiio e10k/q1 (im not a very basshead guy, but why not). The price for the hd599 is 240euros and for the m3 80$ with free shipping to greece (im gonna buy the m3 off AliExpress, warn me if the purchase will be secure or not). My budget is 300-350euros. If you have any better suggestions than mine, tell me, I will appreciate it a lot.
