Goodmorning everyone!
I would like to buy headphones and a dac / amp (if needed) for a total budget of € 300, maximum € 350.
I would use them mainly for playing games and listening to music.
Both open and closed back are fine, as long as they are comfortable, especially with glasses.
I tried the DT 990s and found them pretty comfortable, but buying them it remains a budget of 200€, that is the twice that i would spend on headphones, that seems to me a little bit too overkill, so something comfortable as them, but better (?)
I would buy from Amazon.it
Thanks to everyone!

300 Euros? Thats tight.
For dac-amp try the yje ifiaudio hip fac 2. That also allows you to go mobile.
Beyerdynamic DT 770 80 ohm discounted on Amazon.

I think I found the Sennheiser HD650 and Apogee USB DAC/amp as a package for £346 when I bought it a few years ago. Not sure if they are still selling that 'bundle'.

Bundles are available. I don't what the pricing is in Europe nor the availability.
