New Audio Set Up.

It does for me.... 

 

 

^Coming from someone who doesn't like the Sennheiser sound in the first place.

 

The 600 series is supposedly more of the same, but still slightly better. I'd advocate starting out with a 600 series, but if you've already got a 500 series you should really try something different.

 

This has nothing against me liking or not liking a company. You know the graphs, and I've had most of their headphones, they both agree.

 

Also I don't dislike sennhesier, I just dislike sennhesiers headphone line, and how there aren't any real improvements as you go up in their product tier. The only headphones that are a real upgrade from the 5 and 6 series is the HD700/HD800 which still aren't that great for the money.

I think the HiFiman HE-400 fall in to that price bracket as well. Could be an interesting alternative if you've ever wanted to try planar magnetics. It would definitely help if you could find a place to try stuff yourself and find out what you like, but I do realize that is often not possible.
