Hey- I'm looking for a good combination of a headphone+accesories for under $450 to listen to LoFi and game on, mainly (No gaming headphone please)!Currently I'm looking at 6xx's with the Schitt stack (magni 3+ and the modi), but I was wondering if I could go wireless and still get a similar experience, with something like the Drop+THX panda wireless since my old wireless headphones (Hear.on.2's) are getting a bit old and don't fit super well on me anymore. I do travel a fair bit and like to have good audio at hand while I travel, but I would prioritize sound quality over portability, being honest.  Any help is appreciated, and my mind is open to new recommendations! (This post was made a few days ago, with no responses so I'm asking again.) 

I am NOT a professional and a lot of the time what I'm saying is based on limited knowledge and experience. I'm going to be incorrect at times.

The 6xx isn't very good for gaming. Lacks a lot of qualities a good gaming headpy needs. It's also open back and needs power so not good for travel. If we want to prioritize soundquality and also want gaming performance I would go with 2 headphones and the travel headphones be iems. As iems are super nice for portability sake and so cheap to get decent ones.  What music do you listen to? And how competitive are the games you play?

Honestly, a lot of LoFi/HiFi, with mixed genres of music between the two, while playing competitive-ish games, but games take a backseat here, and they don't rely on accurate surround sound too much. Again, travel takes a backseat also because I already have a pair that I can use, I'm just wondering if theres a wireless headphone that can keep up with the 6xx's in high/loFi

By high lo fi do you mean something like in the $100-$200 price range in that case I would say the 58x.  Would be the best alternative to the 6xx out there doesnt need an p either just a clean source it very easy to drive. Not really considered lo fi just generally considered a mid fi can

Ah sorry by high/Lori you were talking about music preferences. By wireless headphones I think the hifan Deva could work out as it hits in the same price to performance region as well as overall performance when plugged in.
