For a $300 closed back that is easy to drive and good enough to distinguish flacs and mp3s or at least unforgiving enough. Maybe a pair of ath msr7 really good headphones I loved to use for mixing and monitoring. Really unforgiving  and detailed headphone.

Hello Gor-guys/gals.  I just got some FLACs of some of my favorite artists (Zeppelin, Floyd, Slayer, etc) and have been wanting to see if there was a huge difference in audio quality compared to OGG/MP3 files. 

 

I was wondering if I could get some recommendations for headphones, closed-back preferably as I don't like the idea of my sound leaking out.  The plan is to also have them swap between my PC and Smartphone (S20+) with a usb-c to 3.5mm dongle.  I have a budget of about $200, but can try and save up for something in the $300 range.
