Stax used is in that price range (including energizer).
Focal Elex comes up used around $500. Pretty close.
You are saying 95X is more resolving than those Sennheiser models?
To my ears and sonic memory, during my listening session yesterday, my answer would be yes.
I agree to a point. The Koss IMO is much more enjoyable than say any Senns headphone I have owned. You can see all the ones I owned in my gear list. I admit I love the HD600 and paired with my OTL amp it was awesome but I still enjoy the Koss more. The Koss is not in the same league as say my STAX headphone though. I never listened to anything from Focal so I can't comment there.
I went from having a shelf with 6 headphones on it and several off to the side to keeping two headphones on that shelf, The 95x and L700. I still own the other headphones but they are all packed away now in their boxes. To me, the Koss 95/x was an ear-opener and an entry into electrostatic bliss.
