Need suggestions for another pair of headphones (Have Sennheiser HD600)

Hej

Can anyone, who are familiar with the Sennheiser HD600, suggest a headphones slightly more open and with a wider soundstage then HD600?

I have tried Grado SR-325e, AKG K701 and K702. These three are far from my taste. Too much high midrange for me.
I also have Beyerdynamics T1, which I think is OK, but I tend mostly to choose my old HD600.

I though HD660s would be what I’m looking for, but they seems to have inferior treble compared to the HD600. At least that’s what I’ve read. I’ve never heard the HD660s myself.

Any suggestions in the same price range as the Sennheiser HD660s?
Has to be open back!

Thanks for the suggestions, unfortunately they are too expensive, not available in Sweden or I will not be able to use my Feliks Elise tube headphone amp. Planars are too hard to drive with most tube amps.

And I just wanted some minor changes compared to my HD600. Oh, well...nothing in this ”hobby” will ever be simple. The same thing whith my Tannoy Eaton speakers. I just need some small changes to make them perfect for my me. Dream on. That speaker doesn't excist.

Thanks for the suggestions.

OK, I didn't realize you were in Sweden.  Lucky you!

I was going to suggest the Focal Elex from Drop, but I don't think they will ship to Europe.  Audeze LCD-XC are a really nice closed back headphone, but you say you don't like planars.  I think I'm out of suggestions.

Focal are very good sounding… I would say neutral and easy to drive.

Strange that we can't buy a French headphone in Europe!!!

 

Anyone heard (and compared with HD600) Ollo Audio S4X?

I'm guessing you can buy Focal, but not that model.
