I am new to the headphone scene and have moondrop IEMs which to me are my start into the high end field of headphones. I came across Audeze LCD-5 which are like 4,500$ I wouldn't mind paying it but I kinda want to work my way up to them and were wondering if any similar or recommended headphones for maybe $1000? They can be open or closed back. I love hardcore techno and rap but mostly techno. Also if it isn't too much if you also have a recommendation for a AMP/DAC that can pair up with the headphones you suggest let me know!

Focal clear + if hip DAC for portability

if you want to work your way up, the 6xx is where most start. and the thing most will keep forever. depending on ur source u will likely not need a dac. any solid state amp will work if it measures well and has enough power. I hear the magni has plenty of power.

Rule 2: Ask purchase and shopping questions in the Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk

Requests for product opinions, comparisons, and general purchase advice must be made in the dedicated Shopping, Setup, and Technical Help Desk instead of a new post.

Portable audio related purchase advice may also be asked in r/HeadphoneAdvice but please familiarize yourself with their rules first.

What questions are considered purchase advice?

  • A request for product suggestions, comparison requests, or opinion requests fall under the purchase advice rule. These can often be found by searching first.

  • Any suggestion or comparison request pertaining to headphones, IEMs, DACs, amps, or other accessories should be directed to the purchase help thread or r/headphoneadvice.

  • Asking the subreddit to help make a decision to buy a product does fall under this rule (e.g. "should I get dekoni pads for my HD650?").

Why does this rule even exist?
