I have another option for your consideration. I have the same requirement as you changing from speaker to headphone setup. Eventually I choose Electrostatic headphone also known as headphone speaker. Means that it's a he@dphone but gives you a speaker effect. It's worth to try. You may start with a used unit and amp if you have a limited budget. I have no regret of choosing this type of headphone. I don't miss too much compared with speaker listening.
Need new headphone setup.
I have a speaker oriented system that is very satisfying to me. But because of a need to maintain domestic tranquility I’m looking to go to a less noisy alternative: i..e. headphones.
I want to spend a total of about $1000. So, nothing too fancy. Not the equivalent of my much more expensive speaker system.
What do I need to assemble a headphone system independent of my regular system which is accessible from my listening chair and side table?
I plan on solely streaming. My present system contains a WiFi streamer.
Can that be incorporated, or do I need a new streamer?
I understand that I need a headphone preamp along with the cans.
I know my budget is not too high, but can I get something relatively decent at it?
Currently, I listen though cheap ear buds and stream through an iPad.
