Hi !!

I spend a lot of time watching TV series from the computer (Dolby Headphone soundcard) and I decided to search a pair of headphones for this reason

I have an Ultrasone 550 which I use for gaming, are perfect IMHO, but for movies are a bit too boomy and tight.
I have Grado SR80, they are good, although they are bright, they perform well with vocals without sibilance, but I'd like a bit of "body".
Which cans have a good vocal treatment without sibilance?
I've thought maybe a open and airy headphone or maybe semi-open like AKG 141 or 240s??

Thanks.

My EH350s has impeccable midrange. Vocals sound natural, smooth and is supringsly well-bodied; acoustic guitars & violins are beautifully textured.

I use them to watch DVDs on my DAP and you bet that they fare quite solidy. Its soundstage is decent albeit a bit compact. If soundstage is a major priority of yours, then look elsewhere. If you're looking for clarity, well bodied midrange, and a good all round performance however, then believe me, these budget phones WON'T disapoint.

Thanks cursory for your recommendation.
Yes, a bit of soundstage will be nice. Because it's for home use only I don't have any restriction, open, big...etc.
I've been thinking about Denon 1000, but "other closed"...

I use an Original Master Headphone.
I'd thought about HD580 but the price it's closer to HD600 (here in Spain) and I don't know what to do. Cheaper than HD580 I can buy a brand new Ultrasone 2500.
