Choosing and buying headphones


Dear.
My name is Sergiy.I am from Ukraine.
Help me choose full-size headphones for the player  Astell&Kern Kann Alpha up to 1000$.There are two main requirements for headphones: comfort and sound quality.
It is possible to buy headphones for www.audiogon.com and send this item to my friend in USA who will send it to me then? Is it possible?
Possible options:
1. Denon AH-D7200 725$
2. Dan Clark Audio Aeon 2 575$
3. Focal Elear 550$
Or it is better not to risk it and buy new ones from the store.( https://audio46.com/ ,https://www.moon-audio.com/ )
Best Regards

Massdrop may not ship these worldwide, but if they do, you should consider these:

The Elex is a modified Elear.  I have not heard the other headphones you mentioned, but I have about a dozen headphones including much more expensive ones like LCD4, LCDXC, HD800, and Sony MDR-Z1R and the Elex more than holds its own.  It is very neutral, dynamic, detailed, and comfortable.
