Using a car analogy, what car would these be versus XM5 or Bose QC45?

I've never heard these, but based on price it looks like these are Bugattis vs the XM5 or QC45 being a Mercedes.

It's say more like a top of the line Porsche vs Camry/Accord

The Diablo, velcro it to the back of my phone. Remove and put away when done listening. Or chord Mojo 2. But I like the Diablo more.

I unfortunately can't afford them (well, I can but it would be hard to justify), but I'd love to try them out. I've heard and read about them for years.

I do have a pair of HD598s (the original brown and ivory ones) paired with a couple of very cheap, but surprisingly clean, little amps that boost bass. One of them is from a slickdeals about 10 years ago, in which I paid $16 and is made by Brainwavz. It's tiny and super portable. Unfortunately it is no longer made, or even available used on ebay, or I would definitely recommend it. The other is one I bought more recently from Amazon, and will include a link if they're still available. They were $25 and have a bass switch. They provide quite a bit of deep, crisp bass. I suffer no rumbling or boomy bass. However, there is a slight bit of loss in the treble and upper mid. I'm saying all this in case you have a set of phones that sound great, like the HD598s, but lack bass.

And it's Amazon, so you can easily return it if you don't like it. If anyone knows where to get one of the Brainwavz amps, please let me know. I'd like a spare.
