Probably the closest open headphones to these are the old HiFiMan HE 400 (not the newer 400i or 400s versions) and the Phillips Fidellio X2/27
No, the Old HE 400 is not anything like the TH X00, the HE 400 had a lack of upper mids, the TH X00 has some what forward upper mids, the two may share a simmilar sense of bass but after having spent some time with the HE 400, I can assure you it's not like the TH X00, at least not in the mids
The HE 400 is like the LCD 2, but faster an less transparent... the LCD 2 Fazor has... bass that's a tad slower but has amazing spatial cues an mirco detail in the low an central mids, but the LCD 2 like the HE 400 has a SERIOUS lack of upper mids that makes it very wonky sounding, espically with spoken word
