You can get an external sound card for $50-100 and get rid off all that noise and use those good headphones

If you pay more than $300 for headphones (for non-professional use) you are being taken advantage of

Digital sound processing is a solved problem and the cheapest amps run the same hardware the hifi brands sell, the QA is just worse

Apple Airpod Max costing $500+ lmao

It's $100 for good audio, $400 for brand

Apple headphones have always been a scam for their price point. Sony or Sennheiser will get you significantly better sound quality at a much lower price usually.

Yes for home a DAC and AMP is the solution. But for outside, you need something portable. DAP is the high end old mp3. But the price range of these, is enormous.

For outside you need porta pros, not studio audio
