Hello mate
I want update my headphone
In the last 2 years i try hd600/620 and 650 , sundara and ananda
But not find the perfect match
I want a open sound , Great voice and soundstage .. i like trebble but not fatigue
I dont want invasive bass
The budget for headphone is around 1000 euro , used is better
I have thinking about
Zmf aeolus used

And need one dac/amp to connect headphone ti my iphone 12 pro (500/600 euro budget )

From your list, I would opt for the HD800S. Many consider it an endgame headphone and the soundstage is among the widest you'll find.

A little less technical but more fun is the Hifiman Arya Stealth, which also has a great soundstage. But if you already have the Ananda, I think the 800S is the better bet.

Keep the HD600... one day with the right amp, you'll find love for it again. The Sundara and Ananda you can sell once you get something better.

Out of this list , the best option around 1000/1200 ?

Out of this list, the HD800S is what I would get over the Clear for sure. ZMFs have a natural timbre to them that makes music sound warm and real, but if you want good technicalities and a wide soundstage, the 800S will deliver. It's also a very lightweight headphone.

Personally, I prefer the Arya Stealth over the HD800S. I've owned and sold both--the Arya because of build quality and the HD800S just because I use other headphones more.

if you want perfect timbre you might have to trade off some soundstage

Hd600 and amp ?
The prb whit hd600 is the dark sound , dont find sparkle .. but is good
What ampli is good for hd600?

Hd600 and amp ?

Yep. HD 600 is one of the best headphones for vocals. If that's what you meant when you wrote voice, it's a perfect choice with a powerful amp.

Cheapest that would do the job well is the Bottlehead Crack... great match for the Sennheisers.

The HD600 is a separate thing though, just telling you not to sell it. You'll never get HD800S soundstage out of it.

Depends where he is.
