Over the last few months I've tried Beyer DT880s 32ohms, AKG K702s, and now Hifiman HE-400s. The Beyers sounded unimpressive, the Hifimans too dark and bassy for me, but I loved the AKGs. I currently have the Hifimans and keep find myself comparing their soundstage and ability to reproduce vocals to the AKGs. I've also decided that I do prefer brighter headphones to darker headphones with a fair, but not overpowering treble emphasis. Anyone have any ideas for an "AKG K702 upgrade" in the 400$ range? I can swing up to 650$ if need be, but anything up through $450 is well within budget. On the other hand I could go back to the K702s or wait for their special edition to come out and hope that its price drops. Currently running Ibasso D12 > Bellari HA540. Thanks for suggestions.
