Choosing and buying headphones


Dear.
My name is Sergiy.I am from Ukraine.
Help me choose full-size headphones for the player  Astell&Kern Kann Alpha up to 1000$.There are two main requirements for headphones: comfort and sound quality.
It is possible to buy headphones for www.audiogon.com and send this item to my friend in USA who will send it to me then? Is it possible?
Possible options:
1. Denon AH-D7200 725$
2. Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 575$
3. Focal Elear 550$
Or it is better not to risk it and buy new ones from the store.( https://audio46.com/ ,https://www.moon-audio.com/ )
Best Regards

I've heard those 3 headphones before. I will say that each one is unique in terms of sound. 

If you are spending good money (whatever that amount is) to you, then you may want to audition the headphones in question at a shop before you buy. 

I can't tell you how many times friends of mine have been disappointed with their headphones. In the end, we listened to headphones together and they were able to make the right decision.
