Hiya people,
 
I love the Sennheiser momentums, but damn, they're SMALL. Even the 2.0s are too small. 
 
So I am in search of something similar to the momentums, but maybe something with a tad more treble. 
The highs aren't too good when compared to a pair of Grados 325Es. But I love the detail and everything about it, but just the highs are too recessed. 
 
I am looking at the HP150s and ATH-MSR7s, but I am still open to other ones though.
My budget is around 300-450 euro, 500-600 dollars.
I find soundstage and the ability to 'feel' the music being important as much as detail and clarity.
The Momentum 2.0s were almost perfect. Just the size and the treble weren't. Especially the size.
 
I have picky ears, sadly.
 
Bands I listen to: 

One ok rock
Galileo Galilei
YUI
Supercell
Nano
EGOIST
LiSa
Another Sunnyday
UVERworld
Aimer
SPYAIR
Ecosystem
Goose House
NICO touches the walls
Yanagi Nagi


All Japanese, yes. Genres are mostly (hard) rock with some pop in it sometimes.
Anyone?
 
Thanks!

I haven't tried any of those unfortunately but I think Yamaha MT220 would be a good balance between the Grado and the Momentum and I think they sound better, and more livelier than the Momentum. Also much more comfortable.
