I have had a look at these headphones but I'm quite clueless.
Which one would be better for my preferences listed above? Is there any alternative you would add?
I consider these two for amp (Do I need one?):
I don't know anything about amps. I don't even know if I'd need one.
I've spent my entire life using crappy headphones. I've been wanting to buy something good for a long time so I think the time has come.
I'd be thankful for comments and suggestions.
Well, I don't look at many MFi accessories, but the ones I DO look at are pretty expensive, at least for me. Where half the cost is because of the MFi license.

The Sony PHA-2 could be a decent option (never tried it myself). The Fostex HP-P1 could also be another decent option.
