I love the sound of my H6 Gen1 but I've just heard the B&W P9... wow.. the sound stage on them makes the H6 sound almost mono. Thing is, the P9 is has a LOT more bass, too much for my liking. Putting them though my Mojo helps a lot, but they're still not 'right'... too 'coloured', too much bass, less transparent? Also, one big issue, they leak sound... great when on my own, but not when I'm sat next to the wife. Apparently, there're 'too loud' :frowning2:

Anyway... are there 'phones out there with the sound (and comfort) and 'isolation' of the H6 gen 1, with the soundstage of the P9 ? Boy, the P9 soundstage is wonderful...

Budget up to say, £800

Recommendations appreciated :)

Thanks.

P.s. This is the first time I've tried to describe the sound of headphones.. not sure the vocabulary is correct :grimacing:
