Is there any?
HD800 is lightweight (260g) but have somewhat harsh highs.
LCD2-3 is heavy (560g), these truly made for an athletes.
D7000 is heavy (~400g) and not huge improvement from my D2000.

The T1 is a less bright than the HD800 (though still leaning towards the brighter end of the scale) and fairly lightweight.

 

[SONIC BOOM]

+1 on the beyerdynamic t1

8-10k is just way too bright. Also, their weight is identical to my D2000(350g), which, i think, could be lighter.
So the question remains.

You better take a listen to some high end cans.
I'd suggest the D 7000, T1 and HD 800.
Btw, the HD 800 weighs 330g.

Another vote for the Beyer T1 (driven by a DIY class A amp/FiiO E9), I didn't find them too bright or harsh at all, found them smoother than the HD800 on stock cables.

250g is pretty standard for "light" full sizes.
 
Based on what you want, I don't think you're going to find anything truly "light" in the High-end category.
 
But based on the sound you're looking for: Hifiman HE-500.
 
It's 502g.
 
Very best,

If you rate the d7000 heavy then the he-500 would "feel" heavy also IMO. It was too heavy for me. I'd vote for the Beyer T1

Haha, LCD2-3 for athletes, I agree.

Training your neck muscles But to the OP, I havent heard it yet but assuming it sounds good, the HD700 should be a great choice since it's about 15% lighter than the already manageable HD800.

I see you have both LCD2 and LCD3, I read lot of posting but do you find LCD3 lot better than LCD2 ?

The only light can in comparison would probably be a Grado, but those are definitely not going to compete with any of those no matter how much money you spend.
 
The LCD-2 is really dang heavy though, so for those thinking he's being ridiculous by listing weights, it's the reason I got rid of mine despite being in love with how they sounded.

Great headphones. Shame that they dont cost $1200. 
HD650 would also be a nice choice. 
 
I would not describe either the HD800 or T1 as having *harsh* highs. Maybe bright (I disagree with even that), but saying the highs are harsh is somewhat harsh.

I liked Grados especially PS1000, it was very very light felt like a sponge. But the pads are very irritating kind of rough, and Grados trebles are something I don't like at all.
