Which headphone sound good using the Creek 5350 SE headphone jack

Most of my headphone listening is working out or travelling.  So I don't have great headphones.  With Covid 19 and my wife and I both working from home; I miss my louder music breaks... so it's time to take the plunge. I tried a pair of Grado's 100s and they sounded bad. Not sure of the specs on them.  I've heard the headphone jack on the creek is high impedance- so mb a bad match.  Any thoughts?  I have my eye on a pair of Sennhauser HD650s, wish i could demo them with my Creek before I buy.

I became curious and looked it up, the Creek 5350 seems like a pretty decent offering.  Unfortunately it has a small footprint on the internet.

Grado doesn't currently have any cabled  models with 100 in the model number.  They made a SR100 back in the 90's, is that what you tried?

Anyway, the only hint I could find was here:

One poster loved the headphone match with the Sennheiser HD650, or did you see that already?  Anyway, hope this helps.
