Any suggestions?
Grado SR80e get great reviews, but they seem quite small (physically)
Am I better off going for headphone amp with helix?
I like the Beyerdynamic DT770. They're so comfy and sound good, they feel like they have quite a "wide" sound for headphones.
Any other wisdom before I pull the trigger?

I prefer them to headphones that cost me nearly 3 times that.
The audio engineer who invented the parametric EQ - George Massenburg - once said they're the only headphones he'd use for mixing.
You'll also see them in use in countless photos or videos from the top studios in the world.
So for £13 more than what you would pay to get "budget headphones" you can actually get what are considered worthy of use by the top pros and even considered the best by some.
I went for beyerdynamic open back in the end. High impedence, which I understand the helix is man enough to drive, and reportedly very comfortable. Sound leak isnt an issue where I'll be using them.
Will let you know how I get on
Really good. Have to pump volume up to drive them...I bought the 250ohm versions...but they sound fabulous. And VERY comfy!
