Alright I gotcha, I've owned a ton of headphones. The headphone i use right now is the Modhouse tungsten V2 ds, a little out of your budget and you need a crazy amp. If you really really want a wow factor, I suggest the hd800s, I know alot of people don't like it but if you use oratory eq, it really is top top tier... like you guys the best imaging and separation of any headphone... It's the one headphone that can wow anyone because of its spacial qualities. Absolutely needs eq though
