So as i mentioned i'd rather have open back headphones for the bigger soundstage. I'll be using them at home and where nobody gets anoyed by the sound bleed. Most of the time i'll be listining tot deep house, some hiphop and i like tot relax with some a litlle piano at times.

Maybe the Fidelio X1's if you can stretch your budget or are ok with 'like new' from Amazon Warehouse ($184)...fyi haven't heard these so this suggestion is based on reviews/comments.
Thought you might say that. I definitely would not use them out of my PC or my phone...though they're fine out of a Fiio E10.
Kinda feels like the X1's might be a great fit. Would love to hear them myself, They were $150 new for a lightning deal back in January of last year. Am guessing they'll get down to this level again now that the X2's have been introduced.
I am looking for closed-back headphones that sound like the Sennheiser Momentum (2.0)s with better high/treble.
My budget ranges from 0 to 450 euro/600 dollar (sometimes 600 dollar headphones are sold here for 450 euro).

previous headphones
Sennheisser 201 or 210? forget which ones
Sennheisser 408?
32 ohms so pretty easy to drive and fairly sensitive, no need for any amp (probably wouldn't even benefit from one), they sound great right out of the smartphone or some portable player, at 300$ those were the best I've heard, balanced sound suited for all genres in my opinion with decent soundstage. Only con for me was their design that I'm not fan of, but for some people if that is not an issue it's a safe buy.
Burn in is not a matter of belief or opinion, and you can test it just buy some headphones you already owned for some time again and compare the two, very noticeable difference (on blind test also). I've tested with my friend my used IE80 and his out of the box IE80 and they sounded quite different, after several weeks they sounded the same. Also you can't avoid burn in but no need to leave headphones for few days, just listen to them, they will burn in eventually whether you want it or not, whether you believe it or not.
B&W p5!!! Tremendous ip5-6 synergy. Moreover, they sound worse when amped! I have them as my 6th or 7th pair of phones exclusively for tube/train traveling and they isolate pretty damn well.
The Bowers & Wilkins P3s also sound great unamped. Decent clarity, bright, exciting sound as far as I can remember.
The main headphone I have experience with, however, is the Audio-Technica ATH-M50. These sound brilliant even without an amplifier, and are a great pair of headphones that can be found for around $100 these days, since they have been supplanted by the slightly newer M50x. I also not sure that the sonic differences would be enough to pay the extra for the 50x.
Had the nTunes -- gave them to my son and don't miss them. He really likes them, though.
Love the M80s...they work well out of my phone, come with a great hard case, and two cables. Lucked out and got them for $40 NIB from Radio Shack--still my best deal since joining Head-Fi.
Currently $79.99 on Amazon and worth every penny! http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I9UKKS0
Looking to buy some basshead headphones. Can't decide between the WS99 and Pro700MK2.
Currently have the WS77 and an E11 amp. Will probably upgrade to the Cayin C5 soon
The ATH-M50 to my memory, has a flat impedance to frequency as a result, they won't be affected by high output impedance that much and if you like what you are listening, then its good!
I recently got a pair of ATH M50x and they definitely sound louder plugged into my iMac compared to my iPhone 6. Not only louder but clearer too. Could the clarity be all in my head?
