    I’m no audio expert, but I feel like “audiophile headphones” and “headphones you can power directly from a steam deck” are probably mutually exclusive

      I use planar headphones which are not too bad to drive, but most of the time I need some extra power. The deck actually is capable of blowing my eardrums out still

      Not necessarily, some high-end headphones manage to have a low resistance and high sensitivity combo and are easy to “drive” without a dedicated amp.
