I did a "don't tell me the price" compare a few years ago and the ones that impressed me most on classical instrumental timbre were AKG Q701, better than the Sennheiser HD800 I thought.
Hahaha, I wouldn't go that far. But yeah, they were pretty underwhelming. I mean, maybe I simply wasn't used to the absolute neutrality but especially bass didn't wow me. In that regard I liked the HD800 much more. Just super tight and springy.Listened to: first generation Sennheiser Orpheus. That amp looked stunning. Sonically I preferred the HD580.

I had my HD580 and a HeadRoom portable amp with me when I heard Orpheus. So I’m confident in the comparison.
How long did you get to spend listening to the O?
