headphone that sounds close to speakers

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.

my vote for best headphone-amp combo ever is the Headamp Blue Hawaii Special Edition....

and the Stax 009's Electrostats....

simply amazing. better at many things than many speaker systems, but not better at those things than all speaker systems....

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.

Not only do they sound like real speakers, they sound like *any* real speaker you like
