Closest to HE400 but better? | Headphone Reviews and Discussion - Head-Fi.org

Hi,

I sold my Hifiman HE-400 long time ago and haven't been in the headphone world ever since, been using my HP50s and SE846s ever since.
Nowadays I'm looking into getting a new headphone and am wondering which headphone has that juicy and textured bass as the HE400 did, but with less disturbing treble

Thanks!

Sundara or 5XX. Alternately, LCD-2C or LCD-X.

In what way are those similar? 5xx looks like a rebranded deva and I read a lot of bad reviews.
