HELP! I want to update Monolith M1060 vs SIVGA Phoenix?

[shot4d]

Hello.
I currently have the Hifiman HE400SE and want to upgrade.
I have seen these two headphones and many youtubers speak highly of them: the SIVGA Phoenix and the Monolith M1060.

but I don’t know which of the two is better for sound quality in .flac and MQA music and for video games.

and both have the same value on amazon.

Which of the two do you recommend I choose? What if it’s worth upgrading with those two options?

Going off of YT recommendations will rarely lead to a good outcome. The reality is the HE400SE’s are very good headphones: good out of the box, and great with (minor) EQing. (https://www.audiosciencereview.com/forum/index.php?threads/hifiman-he400se-review-headphone.28771/)

I’d recommend you stick with what you have, maybe experiment with EQ (e.g., APO + Peace) if you haven’t done so already.
