Good evening everyone,
Sorry for my english i'm french :/
I’m looking for a pair of headphones to use at home for watching movies/videos/videos games and listening to music (not really for outside). It would primarily be for movies/videos and possibly solo gaming. I already have a Nova Pro Wireless for online gaming and Jabra Elite 8 Active Gen 2 earbuds for sports. I tend to enjoy headphones with a strong bass presence. I especially enjoy strong and powerful bass presence.
I would like to use it: on my computer (windows with b450mk) and my tv.
I was wondering if there’s a significant difference between these two models:
I’ve heard that open-back Hi-Fi headphones provide much better immersion, but I’m worried that the sound might be too neutral and end up feeling monotone or boring compared to my tastes and habits.

- [Bose QuietComfort Ultra] Rting test https://www.rtings.com/headphones/reviews/bose/quietcomfort-ultra-headphones-wireless
Basically, does it feel like going from “basic” to “next level”? With this budget, would I notice a real difference compared to the Nova Pro? I’ve never owned open-back headphones, but I suppose that if there’s some noise at home, I can simply turn up the volume (?). I’ve also read that the Hifiman might require an additional DAC, like the TOPPING DX1, which brings the Hifiman + DX1 or it's ok for my computer ?
Thanks for your help!
