Sorry, I originally posted this in the wrong section.
 
I'm looking for something PortaPro-sized (Grado SR60 is way too big) but with a nice lithe, bass-light sound signature.
 
Must be open backed.
 
The PX100 is the most usually suggested PortaPro alternative but apparently that is even darker!!
 
Was considering iGrado's but apparently even they are quite bassy and I also don't like the behind the neck styling...

Try giving this a read. I bought a pair of HD238s and they sound fantastic especially when amped. I never use them though cause I don't really understand when anyone would use a portable open headphone.

friendly bump - i'm interested in this too.
 
Read that headfonia and they didn't actually have any OPEN bass light 'phones in the comparison. Fischer old skool is closed back and the PX100 and PortaPro's are both dark and bassy!!
 
Any help/suggestions?
