I posted this elsewhere but thought you guys could help more?
----
Advice on purchase please, entering audiophile territory, massive music lover but couldn't afford a good pair previously. Budget has opened up..
Edit: I want to add that i've been looking at momentum 3's (sounds too bass heavy?), PX7, Massdrop x Sennheiser HD 58X Jubilee, Sony MDrz7,audeze el-8 but not sure which meets my needs the best? Please feel free to recommend others. Many thanks.

Advice on purchase please, entering audiophile territory, massive music lover but couldn't afford a good pair previously. Budget has opened up..
- Budget - £800 flexible (UK)
- Source - Samsung S20 U
- Requirements for Isolation - Using at home with roomates so some/no isolation?
- Will you be using these Headphones in Public? - no
- Preferred Type of Headphone - over-ear / in-ear
- Preferred tonal balance - strong clear highs. Also some bass (but not a must).
- Past headphones - Currently own M50 x (which I think is a bit quiet on high notes and leaks a lot at full volume), jaybirds X3 (fave pair) & galaxy buds + (nice but not as loud as X3 imo?)
- Preferred Music - RnB 90's divas a la Whitney/Mariah, Pop, Chill RnB with hip-hop bassy production
- What would you like to improve on from your set-up - I really just want a great pair that I can use exclusively for music (clearly have others for gaming,commute etc) that highlights the best intricate details of my songs. I listen to music quite loudly & pay attention to production, lyrics and love high notes/belts. I also enjoy listening to background vocals and harmonies hidden behind main vocals. Features like noise cancellation or mic don't matter to me.. but I guess if they're wired i'll have to get a usb-c adapter as my phone doesn't have an audio jack & I know wired is better than BT...?
