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!

Yes I can. But I got curious about this Elex.

I thought all AT:s are bright and a little brittle.
Are you thinking of a certain model?

The Elex is really nice and I consider it a good value.  They were about $100 less when I bought mine I think, but they are still a good deal.  It's pretty neutral and has a lot of detail.  Nothing like the Utopia, which I personally didn't care for, but I can understand how many would like them.  

Perhaps you have a friend or family member in the states that could order them for you and ship them to you?

I have the 6XX (HD650) and like them, but much prefer my KLH Ultimate One headphones. They are Beryllium coated and have much better treble and bass and are more comfortable with less clamp. 

The only thing the 6XX does better is vocals in the midrange.

I think they can be found for $200-$300.

Shure 1840’s, open back. However, you would not believe how open sounding the AKG K550's sound. They are closed back.
