I am looking for a headphone that has all of the good attributes of the HD600, minus the laid-back, or "neutral" sound, plus "in the music" imaging, the same wide soundstage, plus punchy bass that can really rock-n-roll. In layman's terms, I want the ultimate rock and roll headphone. Grado's are fine, but they have no soundstage to my ears. And I also listen to pop music, so I need some smoothness, which Grado's don't quite have down pat like Senns. I have my HD497's, but I know they are not exactly flat and I can do better eventually. But all I seem to find in high-end headphones are HD600 copiers. I want to be in the music, not just a casual observer. I want to be engaged, enlightened, energized by the music, not put to sleep. Are there some headphones out there that are excellent yet put you in the music?

everything about these headphones is flawless. Everything is balanced, and perfect. Any of the reviews that didn't like them most likely have a fake pair, or, hate life. The only thing I could...
