I see that they make a bunch of lower end he-560’s now under a V2 or V4 model… I have the original. Not my pic cause I don’t want to dig out the box but they’re these…

Those are usually powered by this(Schiit Mjolnir 1). Obviously they’re recabled since that’s a balanced only amp. Which has plenty of power at 8W per channel at 32 ohm and 5W at 50ohm.

I own a few myself…

AKG Q701, K550

Audeze EL-8(closed), Mobius

Hifiman HE-560

Sennheiser HD-650

Phillips Fedelio X1

Beyerdynamics DT880(600ohm)

Sony 1000XM2, MDR-V700DJ

Focal Spirit Classic

I have a few for various headphone sizes and mine all seem fine. Wireless charging still works which my phone goes in a magnetic stand with it anyway. That all being said, I still just use a stand alone player for audio. That way I can still use my phone and don’t get the random phone noises on top of the music.

I grabbed an Echo Mini as others have mentioned. For the ~$50 or whatever it costs it does what I want. It’s small and weighs next to nothing. If your music library is gigantic you might need more than one micro sd card as it has a limit of 8,191 songs. If you’re one to constantly change your music the interface might not be the best. I mostly use it as background music while working on stuff. So shuffle suits me fine.

I’m not a huge fan of adapters but USB-C to headphone(2.5mm, 3.5mm, 4.4mm, etc) exist.

I’m back to running a stand alone audio player again…welcome back early 2000s!
