I would like to preface this with saying that this isn't my general recomendation. If you can afford a Topping DX3pro+, its a much better match, especially if you use a parametric EQ with negative preamp setting for a bass boost. this will need a powerful amp and the K5Pro won't deliver in that setting.
What it does though is provide a super inexpensive soulution (don't buy this for more than 50€) that can make a pair of HD600 a fun experience on console or phone (will eat battery of your phone though)
with both potis at 12 o clock, the amp sounds anaemic, beyond the missing bass the sennis struggle with anyway, but using the bass poti, keeping in mind that the amp will distort at some point if you overdo it, you will get objectively pleasant results and that not a small feat.
Personally i got this amp to utilize my HD600 more. I got an Edition XS and the aforementioned Topping Dac/Amp, and they are simply more fun out of the box, resulting in the HD600 not being used at all.
now i have a second listening space with a plug and play solution, for a ridiculously small pricetag ( i paid 35€ on aliexpress)
so if that is you and you either need something for your playstation or want to listen to your unused pair of headphones at a secondary listening space, i can wholeheartedly recommend the Fosi K5 pro.
not many USB powered devices offer 80mw@ 300 Ohm or get super hot/die fast and the tone adjustment works well for HD600
