Hi. I finally decided to make an account after ~1 year of browsing/reading as I foster my growing audiophile obsession...
Anyway, in an attempt to [temporarily] curb spending, I'm trying to find a specific headphone (as opposed to buying everything interesting that I find). My two go-to headphones are my Sennheiser HD555 and HD25-1 II. I'd love to find something that offers the best of both of those. What I like about both:
I worry that I won't be able to find what I'm looking for without having to look at something that's more expensive and needs more power.

- The HD555 is open, over-ear circumaural, and has a great soundstage.
- The HD25-1 II is overall neutral with strong, punchy bass.
- Neither require amping, though with my Fiio e11 they both improve even more.
- Neither are terribly expensive.
