i have a budget of around £500. i can spend more but ideally that is the max i want to spend. i currently have b&w p5 wireless and want a better pair. i have a fiio e17 amp dac. i like headphones with a slight boost in the low end. i was looking at the p9 signature which sound good. but was looking at other alternatives to keep me with options to choose from.

are there any others similar price points that have good sound quality a good sound stage and dont need a powerful amp to drive them?

I have a pair of Pandora Hope VI from Final Audio Design, and I would recommend them. Very full bass without being overwhelming, easy to drive at 8 ohms, and a fairly large soundstage for a closed back; but it might be out of your price range because it sits at 550 GBP new. It's also fairly heavy and the drivers sits on sliders so it might shift around while you wear them, but it hasn't really been much trouble for me. The Pandora Hope IV is more affordable though if you're looking to only buy new pairs of headphones. I haven't tried them though so I can't attest to the quality.
