Hello, head fi's guys and girls
 
I need some help about my next upgrade (I try to do my best in english, its not my 1 language, sorry about that) 
 
I have been reading hundreds and hundreds  pages and still uncertain about what i want about new headphones
 
I own audio technica ATH A 900 and seinnheiser HD 595 50 ohms
also musical fidelity xcan v3 with tubes rolling and little dot mk2, all plugged in my pc with xfi fatality
 
My problem is that i can t find THE cans to replace the hd 595 to make me think "waooooo great !"
I listen to rock, rap, r'n'b, soul, jazz, house music, pop,  not classical music for the moment 
 
I ordered denon d2000 and hd 650 and have been trying them for over 20 hours before re sending to sellers
 
compare to the HD 595 :
 
denon d2000 :  great bass but i feel they don t have 3d feelings like hd595, and some kind of muffled sensation
 
hd 650 : better soundstage and placement, good bass but a veil feeling on voices.
             the hd 595 is not as good but close.
             then i think it's not worth the upgrade. Hd 650 are more precised  sounding and its easier to hear every little things but on hd 595 the voices are louder and the sound is more forward what feel more musical to my ears.
 
It would be great to have advices from you
 
my budget around 500 dollars max (400 euros)
 
Thanks a lot

To describe what is important for me
 
Good bass
360° feeling
not to much trebles
nice forward sounding voices
good airy soundstage

I kind of regret sending back the hd 650, but when i was comparing them to my cans i felt they were lacking something to be perfect  
 
Is the MF Xcan v3 capable enough for handling hd 650?
Do they get more forward sounding after burning?

Ultrasone Pro 900 has great bass, great soundstage (360* feeling), good treble, and the voices sound great.  The best part is that they can be Kees Modded to bring the mids forward more and reduce the bass.
