HD6XX

I don't see any wired headphones. If he doesn't have any, that could be a great gift. Sennheiser HD 6XX are currently on sale, and are an excellent headphone for the money. https://drop.com/buy/massdrop-sennheiser-hd6xx

The ATH M50x people are recommending is not the best recommendation. Those are GREAT headphones for producers and DJs, however I find they are not the most crisp and enjoyable for casual listening. They are decent enough but not at that hear every "tap, twinkle, bass, crecensdo" level. For a good li

Sennheiser Massdrop HD6xx, which is basically an hd650 but with a nicer pricetag. I've owned dt990 pros, audio Technica ath m50x, Sony mdr7605. Definitely prefer the Sennheisers as far as accuracy and how they translate to other systems. But of course, to each their own.

Bought the 24-bit 96kHz FLAC files from Ototoy. Put them on my Linux music player of choice Fooyin (basically a fully open source, Linux only Foobar2000 clone for Linux highly suggest checking r/Fooyin and the repo for it). I have a JDS Labs Atom 2 DAC and AMP stack with the stock USB cable and powe

I've used my HD-650 for more than 20 years now. Bought them when they were still pretty new. I love them! They've survived so much. Still going strong. I can't count how many times they've been dropped over the years. Paint is surprisingly mostly intact, though the headband has some flaking on the i

Fellow Canadian, the 560S is an insane value here, we get it cheaper than anywhere else. But it seems sold out. Edit: it is only sold out on Amazon, it is awesome when you do some EQ, and is what I recommend. But, if you don't want to EQ, keep reading. I also have owned them all. My favorite switche
