Oh, I actually like my gsp 500 too :( it's lasted me for years, has a nice long cable, and gives decent audio quality after I got a pci-e audio card to boost levels. I've always preferred a combo headset over separate headphones and mics because it's less to juggle, but so many out there are cheap garbage. Guess I'll have to find a new solution whenever these die on me

Audeze makes the best ones, but $$$

I've also seen meze get nice reviews, with it's new 109 pro, or more expensive ones.

The 99 seem great too from reviews, but very bassy/bass forward.

I have the 99 and have heard the 109pro, the latter isn't recommended unless you have tube amps. 99s can work off anything and are my goto pairs at work. A bit muddy and focused towards the mid end but at the end of the day miles ahead of cheap cans.

This reviews https://youtu.be/j-xLIQLMWV4?si=bbG1AeMEMCNq61GD says it's pretty easy to drive them with anything.

Not sure about amps, and they are expensive headphones, so not that interested in more reviews.

Ya i thought so too, but it sounded too thin with transparent sources. You might like it but I prefer a warmer response.

But what I'm sure of is that listening to reviews doesn't work as I thought.

It works mostly for the technical side.

For the sound, preferences and personal comfort, it's a bit hard to get precise. The graphs can help a bit, but it's also hard to understand them, even more when they don't look the same between reviewers.
