Curious what your opinions on planar headphones are? Budget ones under like under around $300?

Would use for stuff like watching TV shows, movies, and music etc.

Just thinking about some planar vs senhess hd 600 whatever series, or q701 or similar model.

cause saw the monoprice 1060 are on sale.

shit, those are $1000. i read somewhere that legit planar headphones are at least several hundred bucks. and these from monoprice are very beginning line up cause so cheap.
what sort of amp would you suggest for them? cheaper probably better

This amp has powered my q701s fine for the past 6 or 7 years.

I wish the power and headphone jack was in the back. That has always bugged me.
