@yesiamaduck: When I first got everything set up, my friend and I sat in front of my pc for hours going through different genres and bands on Spotify; just blown away by what we were hearing. It feels like you are in the room where whoever you are listening to is playing, you’re enveloped in sound rather than having it directed into your ears like all my other headphones. It’s really hard to describe. Whether that is due to the open back design or the quality of the headphones, I don’t know. This is not a hole I would encourage many people to fall down(but my friend is looking to buy HD599s now). There is a lot of jargon to decipher, it can be hard to get a straight answer about a product due to the strong brand loyalty in the community, and the price can spiral out of control very easily. That being said, I’m really happy with the results of my research, so I can’t complain. Now I can hear and better appreciate what people spend months in the studio to achieve.
I recently started dipping my toes into the dark, scary world of high end headphones. Right now I have a pair of Sennheiser HD650s hooked up to an EL Amp by JDS Labs and the X-Fi Titanium HD soundcard in my PC. I feel like this may be overkill for my headphones, but I have no idea. It's a set up that sounds amazing and looks very clean and tidy on my desk, so I'm very happy with it.
Maybe try out Cities: Skylines, I find the process of laying out a city and watching it grow very meditative. If you just want to build your city and limit the more gamey aspects there are included mods that allow you to have infinite money and buy all the land plots from the beginning. I would also suggest finding a mod on the Workshop that gives you an infinite cemetery with a huge range(trust me). I think Sim City 4 and Sim City 3000(available on GoG) still hold up today if you want a city builder, but don't want Cities: Skylines.
@zrais: There are a bunch of threads with PS4 players looking for a group, try taking a look in one of those if you haven't. There is also Giantbomb Destiny in the PS4 community section and the clan Cerberus Wolves.
@cloudenvy: I would give the community thing a shot and see if it works. I have helped people through Vault of Glass before too, if you can't find anyone in the PS4 community. Just add CountChroncula on PSN.
