I have them and they are ok but lack the impact of the he 6 does.
They also need EQ to get close to the he6
The upper mids and treble is recessed like the whole line from audezee
Phones. They all look great and get really good reviews
But lack a real sound to them. If you want laid back they are it.

Taket H2+ are outstanding 10hz - 100khz + ( built in supertweeters ) they call them the king of headphones in japan use mine with a 9wpc 300b mono blocks
need to be driven via a tran/x like Stax
The stax combo as comaoreed to speakers , do you find them thin in comparison ?
I have that as well and yes it's give deatils that most speakers do not.

I would say the very expensive Cavalli Liquid Gold and the Abyss are right up there, prefer them muchly to any of the Stax 009 or Blue Hawaii variants I heard and i have heard both about eight or nine times at shows. I wouldn't call any of them speaker like, per se. but when you get used to the paradigm, it can be pretty nice.
My weirdo Wavac/modified SRD 7/Dyna transformer box/ oldie Stax SR 3n (5n membrane) is still the best I have heard overall. It melts time and space. I can't put them on unless I am prepared to cashier a lot of time which seems to just pass in a state of suspended animation bliss. Non-commercial and unique, unfortunately.
If you REALLY want speaker-like, I think the old AKG K1000 are about the closest you can get, or the Stax Sigma, but you can't care about looks.
I have a phonitor headphone amp it has cross feed and mono. It's actually pretty ciool. In one of the MAny mods I can adjust where I sit in the room . Atleast from left to right.
