The type of headphone I am looking for is: full-size headphone, preferably closed. Could be open if it doesn’t leak a ton of sound, since I’ll be using it in an office with 6 other people. I own the HiFiMAN RE-400 and I really like their sound signature, though they can sound a bit dry and too revealing for some genres. I’d love something that retains their level of detail, their mids, and their fast and tight bass, but maybe have a bit more bass quantity.

My price range is: up to $400, but I’d rather stay around $250 so that I can have some cash to buy a DAC and an amp if the headphones require it.

I currently have no external DAC or amp, I use my phone (Pixel 4 XL) and computer (MacBook Pro) to power my IEMs right now since the RE-400s are pretty easy to drive.

@Alejandro_Arias_Mart , I’m just “bumping” your question because it got lost in the discussion on XLR to RCA converters.

Unfortunately I don’t have much experience of closed headphones in your price range, but in addition to the answers from @Rhodey and others, you might want to look at the What headphones do you have in your collection and why? thread to see what people have ended up with.

I also found a thread by @SenyorC on closed back headphones that might be useful.
