To clarify, past headphones I've tried
A500s - Too smoothed over and obese; bass sounds bloated
SR80s - No soundstage and bass
SA1k's
What's left would be HD580s and maybe something in the AKG line, right? I though I sampled enough headphones to reach the right headphones for me, especially considering the reasons why I disliked the A500s and the SR80s. Based on my impressions of the sound, all signs seemed to point towards the SA5k's. HD580s seemed like they would accomplish the opposite of what I wanted.
