Hello, as the thread says, I'm in the search for a complement or step-up headphones from my beloved P7, so far I love it's sound, coming from a sennheiser momentum over ear, amperior and hd25, I just feel I get more of everything, I can feel where the instruments are, it's soundstage is amazing, I can hear more detail and just overall I love everything about this headphone apart from its sometimes ear fatiguing (ear piercing sometimes) treble.
 
So far I was considering the sennheiser HD650, beyerdynamic dt990, hifiman he400 and dt880 but I went today to try them from a very good amp (can't remeber right now) and wasn't very impressed, the overall hp that I liked the most was the hd650, it felt more airy sound, more natural (i think thats the word) but I still think they are missing a little bit more impact, not really what I was expecting, I was expecting more soundstage and detail (maybe), and right now I don't really have the money to go in the megabucks amps to drive them to their full potential.
 
What I listen most often right now is Pink Floyd and Led Zeppeling, mixed with some classical, latin and edm.
I feel that for my more bass-heavy music I can use my P7's.
so all In all, I want something below lets say $600 to be a complement or a step-up.
I was taking a look at the Fostex TH-600 and Final Audio Pandora (closed back) how do those closed back hp's stack up against open back's like the mentioned above? 
(also I heard the Sony MDR-7520 and really liked them a lot)
My overall sound preference is fun more over analytical but without forgetting detail and soundstage, I'm open to all suggestions.

It sounds like you enjoyed the open back models you tried. I'd probably keep exploring that avenue. Maybe a Grado PS500 as it won't cost a fortune to amp. But, as always, I'd definitely see if you can audition one before buying.
 
 
Edit: I read your post wrong. You mention you like the wider soundstage but don't particularly like any open-back you tried. Confused me, I guess.

I liked it's more airy sound, but didnt really feel much difference in the soundstage deparment, I don't know if that makes sense
