Sennheisers are *everywhere*

The HD580/600/650 are a bit too tame for my liking. The 590's have
more bite. Beyer 990's **** on Sennheisers, that's my opinion.

and at least Sony and Koss should be
possible to find, but the others will likely be difficult to find
here.

Maybe. I've no idea where "here" is.

From searching this group I find a lot of talk about Sony MDR 7506,
and from other sources also Sony MDR-CD580. I'll see if I can get hold
of one of those and test. And I'll keep an eye out for Stax.

Never liked Sony's myself, particularly the closed variety. Tiresome,
screechy bloody things. Mine were nicked out of the boot of my car I
was glad to see the back of them.

I dare to say you haven't heard exactly how good the headphones are
until matched with a good headphone amp AND cables. The reason for my
statement is that i bought a Cardas Cable, a Musical Fidelity X-Can v.3
(with X-Psu v.3) for my Senn's HD600 and it sounds great, warmer but not
(as i can judge) because of lack of treble.

I'm happy with the Sennheisers, with the stock cord and no amp i wasn't.
