The Audioquest Nighthawk are excellent and will work with any headamp.

Their sonic character is an acquired taste IMO.

Many thanks for all the advice chaps. Very useful indeed.

The HD600s seem to be very popular and nobody seems to be advocating wireless. Is this purposeful?

I will use them with the Naim DAC V1 as I have no desire to change this and its headphone output seems extremely capable. Suggestions for other headphone amps are thus a bit premature at this stage.

I am happy to go to the top of budget for something special on the s/h market.

Hmm... bearing in mind the rest of your system you might find HD600s a bit 'shut in' and 'cuddly' in the bass.

Not with the right amp

I've tried quite a lot and was sold when I heard some Grado's. I wondered what all the fuss was about but they impressed me greatly. Only the SR60i's that I've got.

I always found Sennheisers a mixed bag. Grado's almost made me forget I was listening to a headphone

Still loving these DT-1770 pro's
