I will be moving into higher end headphone territory this year, starting with the 6xx and then the 800S (I know the 6xx is not higher end, but they?re highly rated and I really want them), so I have some questions please.

I currently have a Fidelio X2, DT770 Pro and 990 Pro, and an AKG 553 Pro (but this is up for sale atm). As mentioned above, I would like to pick up a HD6xx in the coming few months as well, followed by a 800S.

My current use case:

1. Home usage for music: X2 and DT770 Pro
2. Gaming: DT990 Pro (excellent gaming cans)

So my question is this: when I buy the 6xx, which of my current cans should I sell? Then, when I buy the 800S, which of the remaining cans should I sell?

Reason for my questions is that I want to part fund the 6xx and 800S through the sale of my current cans (the ones I won?t need anymore) and I don?t want to collect cans that I won?t use.
