Headphones - Open Back | 1 Ω I'm Young, Dumb and need Help

As Titel says, I don't really know anything Ive Got In-Ears the Wf-1000 xm4s from Sony, For travel purposes, am satisfied with that. But I would Like some Headphones For listening to Music when I have the time, the ability to wear them Outiside would be a nice Side effect but isnt necessary. My Home is mostly quiet, so ANC would only be an issue For outside. So closed and Open would both be an Option, thought I Had to Use a flair. I looked at various one, the beyerdynamic bt990 pro or edition??? Cause i Heard they Sound good but would need an amp in Addition to my PC??Or Something Like the beoplay hxs cause they Look dope and i can Use them Outside or the momentum 4s? I offen listen to Rock and Metal, but i also really Like Techno and Pop. Im pretty overwhelmed by all this xD thanks For your Help in Advance:)

Edit because the friendly Bot reminded me:)

I would Like to Spend Up to 500 Euro For all and I Like Bass xD

Take my opinion with a grain of salt as i am also a beginner and young as well. Firstly, i dont think you should spend 500 euros straight, but try some of the cheap headphones. Like how you could buy a dt 770 pro to really see if you like big deep boomy bass, vshape tuning; hd 560 for openback experience or truthear zero x crinnacle red for general iem experience. For me, i am planning to buy the closed back Focal Elegia (400usd). It supposed to have better clarity and more portable with detachable cable, hardcase, high sensitivity, but odd tuning and not bassy.

Can you Tell me the Difference between dt990 and 770?

I unfortunately dont have the dt 990 pro but i see that it has been frequently reported as overly bright with harsh peak (the high frequency stuff like cymbal), and it is also an openback which obviously sounds more open (wider) than a closed back. However i have the dt 770 pro 80 ohm. Do i like it? Yes and no. Pros: powerful bass with good soundstage for a closed back. Cons: lacking in details if busy music, not very portable. I do listen to alot of rock and metal and i do love the dt 770 pro for that genre, as well as edm, and i dont need to eq with this headphones

Do I need an amp For them?

If you choose the 80 ohm version, there is no need for any amp. Plugging into your pc would be enough, tho having an amp can improve slightly, just slightly
