I am considering buying an open headphone to go in my permanent collection (would be the first). So far I am looking at the K701, HD600 or the FA-003 (not technically open, but supposedly sounds like it, also a fair bit cheaper than the other two). My M-Stage should easily be able to drive anyone of them. I would look at the HE-5LE but it is rather more expensive and the M-Stage likely ain't got what it takes. I would also consider the LCD-2 but it like three times the price of a HD600 which I doubt it to be worth. OTOH, I might kill the upgrade bug at which point the investment may make sense
Edit: GMP 250 or 4XX might also be in the running as buying from Germany is quite easy for me.
As for my preferences, I like punchy but controlled bass (for reference, I consider the RE0 be seriously bass deficient whereas my D2000 with J$ are about the right amount of bass but could be more transparent, I probably am a bass head therefore).
I would very much any suggestions (also for other gear in the same overall price range). Thanks!
