Hi everyone,
 
I'm looking to buy a pair of high-impedance cans that I'll be driving through a Little Dot Mkii. I'm looking for something that's not going to be overly analytical. I was considering the Beyerdynamic DT990 250 or 600, but I'm scared they're going to be too much on the bright side. I heard Sennheiser hd600 and 650 are very neutral. Unfortunately, there aren't a lot of stores where I live with a decent selection of headphones where I could give them a try.
 
Thank you for your suggestions!

Btw I was also considering the K/Q701 even though they're not high impedance per se.

I wouldn't consider the HD650 overly analytical, especially not when run with a tube amp

Why are you looking for something high impedance? Just curious as usually people aren't looking specifically for high impedance headphones. Also do you have any semblance of a budget or are you throwing money in the wind? XD

Thanks for the feedback!

Great question. I already have a pair of low-impedance headphones which I really like (B&W P7). I often hear that high-impedance headphones and tube amps are a great match and I'm curious to experience the difference. Finally, I often feel that my P7 get rapidly overpowered by my amp, so I'd like a pair of cans that'll allow me to push a bit more juice trough them. 
 
Hahaa, good point, I do have a budget in mind. The HD650s would be on the upper bracket so I guess about $400-450$ tops.
 
Thanks!
