HD600?

HD650?

HD800?
 
None of the above?

I'm leaning heavily towards trying out the hd600

I'm going to go with none of the above, Sennheiser bass sounds very different even at the same volume.

None... coming from a guy with all 3 and Owning/Hearing Grados from SR60 to HP2...

by the way, i'm not looking for an exact replica of the magnum sound.. I'm just trying to figure out which Senn will sound most "natural" to me, like the magnum does.

Detailed, but not strident annoying highs. (HD800 has me worried there)

Extended lows, punchy bass, but not "dark" (HD650 worries)
 
These are the things I don't like about in the hd595, I guess what I really want to know is if there is a senn that fixes these problems.

They sound kind of unnatural or plasticy, too sterile.. Things just sound a bit wonky. I prefer a more natural organic, or "colored" sound.
 
Instrument separation is not too great, the instruments kind of fight for attention, unlike my magnum where every instrument is clear and separate. (I don't really know why this difference is even here, but it is)

They seem a bit "veiled", I have to turn up the volume to get the detail I want, and I don't like doing that.

Hmmm, Magnums are kind of a big departure from the Grado House sound. 

I have heard a lot of people say they are more senn sounding than Grado, actually. I just haven't heard enough sennheiser products to say if I find this to be true. I CAN say, they are not really Grado like at all when it comes to the highs. Grado highs are either detailed and too present or too laid back and smooth (ala MS-PRO). The Magnums get em just right somehow.

I'm just saying, from graphs, the bass looks completely different.

The most "Grado-like" Sennheiser seems to be the HD700. Check out the review, and comparison between the HD700 and RS-1 here: http://www.head-fi.org/t/614011/sennheiser-hd700-review

Interesting, I hadn't considered it! I'll add it to my possible options

okay, then I don't want a senn that sounds magnum.. I just want the closest one.

Yeah, report back if you end up getting it. 
 
Just a warning though, if you find the HD800 to be "strident" (although, being used to Grados, I don't know how you can think that), the HD700 is worse.

I have never heard them. That is just the vague general impression i have gotten.. After reading over that review, I actually want the HD800 more now.

Shame they are so pricey
