Pros

  • I can use my FiiO BTR15 with my PlayStation 5! The PS5 requires a DAC to have a UAC1 mode, which the FiiO does. I noticed I have to turn the volume up higher than my other sources, but it does receive Sony’s headphone surround 👍
  • From my research, my money was better spent on the FiiO BTR15 than the 5K, for similar reasons: less features, but better sound quality.
  • With my local prices, the headphones together with an amp (FiiO BTR15) would total $278 (converted from euro).
  • for the AKG on the portable front the FiiO BTR15 or BTR7 should be powerful enough on single ended.
  • If you want to spend a little more on a little better, the fiio btr15. Bluetooth when you want, plug it into your laptop or phone for even better sound quality than what your laptop's audio jack can put out.

Cons

  • Maybe the fiio btr15
  • Fiio btr15
  • I'm eyeing the FiiO BTR15 for 125 EUR.
  • It was a close one to decide between this and the Fiio BTR15- but I went with this because I understood I'd get more control.

If you want to spend any more then grab a Fiio BTR15 or BTR17 and a really good closed back headphone
