Hey all, I'm in the market for a portable-ish closed back. I had a sony xm2 previously that just died (my fault) and am now looking into a closed wired headphone since the SQ just wasn't there for me. I was thinking of getting the AEON flow 2 closed by MrSpeaker/Dan Clark Audio due to it's portability, solid construction and overall good ratings. However, I'm a bit hesitant to spend $900 on headphones + the cost for an amp/dac and was wondering if anyone had suggestions for cheaper* alternatives. don't really have a hard budget, but trying to keep it under $1,000 and more money in the bank is a good thing.
I'm more of a hobbyist looking for a great pair of all round headphones that will last with solid construction. I'm not planning on getting deeper into this rabbithole for a looong while (as you can see by my post history...) I'd also prefer something that doesn't require a dedicated amp/dac or can be driven with a portable one (was looking into dragonfly red) as these won't stay in one place for long. Thanks!
