Any idea which headphones I’d like?
With your budget, you should consider the Focal Utopia.  I have the Focal Elex from Massdrop and they will give you the kind of sound signature you're looking for.  The Utopia will give you more of what the Elex does.  I listened to some Utopias...

If all of those things were disclosed before you sent any money, then what's the problem?  How is a grey market item any different than a used item?  Very few manufacturers will honor a warranty for anyone but the original owner.I recently bought ...

What Integrated Amp do You use
I have a Simaudio 600i in one system and an Audio Research Vsi55 in another. The ARC is used in my office and helps keep me warm in the winter. All kidding aside, it's a really great sounding integrated and I don't need a lot of power in that sp...
