I've recently bought a Cayin HA-1A tube amp to pair with my HD600 (source: Rega Apollo), and I find that the Sennheiser headphone is now slightly too bass-prominent coupled with the tube amp; I used to drive them off a Corda Headfive, with which I was already starting to notice a slight bass emphasis.
So I am now looking for an alternative all-rounder headphone. I used to have a K701 which I loved for a while for it's airiness, sharpness and soundstage, but ultimately the weird midrange/treble (and to a lesser extent, the lack of bass) turned me off once I got the much more natural-sounding HD600 and I ended up selling the AKGs.
Is there another similarly priced headphone that you would favorably compare to the HD600 (great midrange, non-fatiguing and musical) with a lesser emphasis on bass and which would pair well with this tube amp?
