Hi, My favorite pair of headphones are the DT150 which I'm rocking for 5+ years

I'm looking for an upgrade, something with the same neutral/mid centric sound but more detailed and refined.

I've bought the DT1770PRO... and I didn't liked them

I'm located in Europe, so something accessible here. Around 500€


Edit. forgot to say, here's what I already have


Alessandro MS1i
AKG K701
Beyerdinamic DT990PRO 250Ω
Sennheiser HD598
AKG K518DJ
Beyerdinamic DT150 250Ω
Bosshifi/Kinden B8
LyxPro HAS-30
Hifiman HE400i

Sennheiser HD580/600/650. HD580 is only available used, quite cheap and similar sound to HD600. A little plainer compared to the more modern versions. HD600 is more refined and elegant sounding. HD650 a little more bass and slightly less treble as well as fuller sounding. All have great midrange. Need amplifiers at 300Ω. HD580 hardest to drive.

^Outside of the power requirements, I totally agree. In fact I found it a little odd that the OP didn’t own any of these Sennies considering the thread title
I’ll add a few more:
ATH-R70X (like the 600/650 but with better bass extension)
Sundara (the closest you’re ever going to get to neutral by way of planar magnetic)

The OP does have quite an intriguing set of headphones. I wonder how much ones collection says about the person. The Hifiman Sundara seems very popular these days. Don't know how much of a change that would be from the HE400i.

I feel that headphones often say something about the individual’s tuning preferences…and that’s about it. I get way more out of grokking folks’ book or music collection
The Sundara is a step up from just about any Hifiman, regardless of pricetag, if you are looking for neutrality. It is without a doubt the most realistic sounding planar magnetic on the market…and does not come with the otherwise classic laidback upper midrange.

I agree with what the others have mentioned above, HD600 or Sundara would both fit the bill nicely.

How does it compare to the HE400I? Because I didn't liked them at all (and the build quality is kinda trashy)



Also, thanks everyone
