Hi head-fiers.
I am in a search for crisp sounding headphones with a brutal soundstage.
ATH M50 vs Somic Efi-82 Mt vs Superlux HD-681EVO vs Sony Mdr-1r are some of the models I've been considering.
Can you help me which one to choose or propose another model ?

I have the m50s and they are crisp but the soundstage is not that good IMO.

Any other suggestion for a great soundstage ?

What does that mean? Never heard soundstage referred to in this way before.

AKG K701, Sennheiser HD598, Beyerdynamic DT990. 
 
I don't know what you mean by 'brutal' soundstage, but the cans i listed above have the best stages in mid-fi category (at least among the headphones i heard).

I am not a native english speaker.
In my language brutal is very often used as a slang for something really good.

Cool

Open headphones are your best bet for a big soundstage, but not good for isolation from your environment. Would open headphones work?

somic mh463; or i you willing to change highs for bass (since you leasted m50) somic mh489,
or if you prefer the revers (weak bass, but highs ok) takstars ts-671

Soundstage? The ATH-M50 and Superlux HD681 Evo aren't ideal for soundstage.

I suggest the Superlux HD668B if you want... brutal soundstage. The Somic MH463 has good soundstage too, but not exactly in the same manner as the HD668B. I wouldn't listen to orchestra with the MH463. If you want closed headphones with good soundstage, Superlux HD669.
