Own: DT770, broken DT990, ATH-M50, Shure SE215
Owned: Sennheiser HD-598, Sennheiser Momentum On Ear
 
Amplification: Schiit Magni, Creative Sound Blaster Z, FiiO E18, various vintage receiver units
 
Want something preferably open, no treble spikes, better bass than the HD-598
Nothing ugly, Headphones I find ugly: Sennheiser HD600, HD650
Doesn't have to be a portable headphone.
Want it relatively comfortable doesn't have to be at Beyer status but still decent.
 
I listen to things ranging from Skinny Puppy, Sisters of Mercy, all the way to K-Pop, J-Pop
 
Will be using it for some gaming, movies and anime.
 
Nothing with ridiculous treble spikes that will make me cringe (I'm under the age of 23 I can hear these high pitched peaks)
 
And a removable cable would be nice, doesn't have to be there but would be a bonus.

HD650s would be my first choice... Who cares how they look? You can't see them when they're on your head.  You could try wiring some LCD-2s to the terminals on your receivers if you're willing to spend that much.

Yeah I sort of feel like getting them but also thinking of saving for LCD-2s.
