Hi!
Hopefully there are more digital piano players here that can share the feedback on favorite headphones.
I am considering the following models:
DT 990 Pro
DT 1990 Pro
Hifiman Sundara and the xs model
I have not considered any Senns yet because they all seem very weak in the bass department which I find not so nice when trying to reproduce a 9' grand bass LOL but if you like one, let me know.
Only playing Classical pieces. If I need a small amp that is fine. Currently testing the 990 Pro (250ohm) and without an amp using the HIGH volume setting its decently loud but not sure if I am missing something else by lacking the amp.
Thanks

The Sennheiser HD560S has about as much bass as the DT990 Pro, plus a more correct tuning all around:
