Part of this though highlighted frequency response. How important really is this to MQA? Some of the headphones suggested are <25k, but others are >40k. Had I not come read about some of the benefits of high resolution electronics with MQA, i wouldnt have been bothered, but I have and it puts doubt in my mind that lower resolution headphones would be limiting in some respect.
Be careful with specs.

For example HD800 or HD800s are down like 35dB by the time they reach 25KHz despite being rated at 44KHz.

Frequency Response HD800

If you think listening to music is fun, try learning an instrument.
