    due to my living situation , townhouse i tend to listen to headphone more and more.
    my absolute favorites are my OPPO PM3's where are the planar magnetic design.

    i also have a pair of HIFIMAN-HE 300's with along with my Grado 60's both are dynamic driver type and i enjoy them as well. i also have a pair of B&W bluetooth headphones and use them wired with my laptop.

    my set ups are 1. macbook pro-Audioengine D1 with an audioquest jitterbug and audioquest cables
    and 2. my stereo which uses a Cambridge AZUR 540A amp , and a JDS labs ATOM headphone amp , it also has
    a iStreamer DAC when i use my iPhone for listening.

    i have been itching to get a new pair of headphones since my grado 225's bit the dust a while back.
    my absolute budget is $400 for a new pair.
    i am wondering if all planar magnetic's sound as good as the OPPO.
    right now now i going back and forth between Sennheiser 6xx or 560's both of which are in the $200 range
    or if i am feeling "rich" the HIFIMAN Sundura's which seem to be going for $349 or so.

    just was hoping for some feedback on those headphones or some other opinions.
