I listen to music all day at work - CD player via optical, Fiio X3 coax FLAC.  Currently I love listening with Sennheiser HD650 with a Schiit Vahalla with Bifrost Uber Analog.  I do not listen to the music at very high volumes - more interested in clarity and soundstage of the music.  
 
Early in the morning the Sennheiser HD650's are great.  However, later in the day the open ear causes some disturbances since I work in an open office environment.
 
Very interested in some recommendations for over the ear closed back headphones to use with Schiit Vahalla/Bifrost....
 
 
 
Thanks!!!

Some options from research through the forums/web.
 
Bowers & Wilkins P7
NAD HP50
Sennheiser Momentum
Beyerdynamic DT 770 (250 ohm)

I've never listened to the bifrost/valhalla, but I have the Beyer 770 250 ohm that I listen to through a Fiio E10 and Little Dot mkII.  It sounds awesome through that setup, so I imagine it wouldn't be terrible on the schiit stack.

Looking for a sub 350 usd closed set to compliment my he500s. Currently have a magni and modi and will be getting a bifrost plus asgard 2 or lyr 2 eventually.

Narrowed my choices down to the Nad hp50 and the Focal spirit pro.

I went with the NAD HP50.  Got them today - can't wait to try them tomorrow at work.
