@grm,
"If I were to look at obtaining a new set of phones, I would be looking for something over the ear, but I think I might try a new amp first. What do you think?"
To my mind closed back over-ear phones are superior in every way.
Apart from sound quality.
Even dirt cheap open back designs like the Sennheiser px100s or Koss Porta Pros can give far more expensive closed back designs a good run for their money.
It’s even worse than comparing box speakers to open baffle designs. It’s difficult to beat a driver that’s just centimetres from your ear drum with no closed-off earcup adding any unwanted reflections.
Having said that there are decent designs like the Beyerdynamic dt770s. You could get the ones with the most suitable impedance for your needs but it would be a little unfair to expect them to be on par with your HD600s.
