Upgrade recomendation

[hipmp5]

Well i got Superlux 681 Evo, Superlux 668b and Taskstar Pro 80 models and i'm searching for an upgrade with a sound signature similar to my Superlux 681 Evo but with better sound definition and better soundstage under 200€.
Any sugestions?

I will use them for for 60-70's rock, progressive metal and gaming.

On my search i found this models:
DT 990
Sennheiser HD 598
AKG K702

When you say you want something with a similar signature to your Evo do you mean a bass emphasis? And secondly, do you want open or are you open too a closed headphone?

If you mean the bass the K702 will be nowhere near that, and even worse in that department if you use the wrong amp.

Take a look at the Philips Fidelio X2. It's like a 668b, but better in every way. Amazon has it for close to your budget.

Might help to know what sources or DAC/amp you plug your headphones into?

I use my Asus Xonar DGX to power up my headphones but in the future if i find the need for it i can purchase a amp.
And yes i like the warm sound of the Superlux hd681 evo and i found the sound on 668b a little too harsh on treble for me and yes i want a open headphone.

Check the Fidelios X1/X2 and Soundmagic HP200

Do Soundmagic HP200 have a good soundstage?
Fidelios X1/X2 are priced a bit to high for me here.

Yes, the HP200 has a nice stage. That said, it can be a wee bit bright to some people, so maybe keep that in mind. Personally, if you like the HD681 Evo (which I also own), I think you might like the HD598/599 quite a bit. It has a similar kind of warmth, IMO, though its bass is obviously less emphasized than the Evo's is. That being said, I agree that the X2 might be your best bet of all. You might look for a used one. Otherwise, I like the 598/599 for you.
