Beyerdynamics are wonderful. I'd add SIVGA, far better than the Sennheiser I had!

I'd suggest the SV021 if you want bass, or the SV003 if you prefer the flatness of studio headphones like the Beyers.

I use them with a Sony Walkman DAP: best money I've ever spent!

Good bass matters for some styles: the SV021 is better when I listen to say Моргенштерн

Hmm, I actually am considering buying bassy over-ears, because all the over-ears I have are pretty neutral/studio sounding. I game a lot of singleplayer story-games and sometimes I feel that a bit more bass would be enjoyable for explosions, gunshots etc.

Thanks for the recommendation, never heard of SIVGA :)

It's the most comfortable over-the-ears I've ever had - far better than anything several times the price!

If you only have USB-C, pair them with a Moondrop DAC

Luckily all my devices have a 3.5mm :)

Didn't know that Moondrop made DACs, I know them because I had a pair of Starfields.

It's Russian rap - though for the last few years he's been moving more into RnB, which I don't like as much
