Hello, I am looking for a quality and durable headphone with high audio quality on a budget around $200, I want it to last long and be comfortable when I wear it for hours, I primarily listen to music and audio-books and do some casual gaming like story games and Minecraft, I don’t usually carry headphones around but portability would be nice, preferably it’s not from a niche brand since the availability of brands is low in my country does anyone have any recommendations?

      I haven’t needed to search for an amp myself since this is my only “good” pair of headphones, and they sound fine right out of my PC.

      I looked into it, and I found this video from crinacle (well known audiophile in the headphone world) that discusses options that are in the ~$30 USD range that would definitely be loud enough. Namely, the JCALLY JM20 Max. In the video he does warn that this dac/amp could be too loud for some headphones, so maybe you could try the JCALLY JM6 Pro instead (~$15 USD). I would highly recommend watching his video to weigh your options.
