I'm thinking the Hifiman Edition XS which are open-back might be right up your alley. It has massive earcups, too big for my small ears. It has a very spacious and detailed sound, which you mentioned you were looking for. It tracks quite close to the Harman target already, so it wouldn't take...

Nice review. My primary issue with the DT770/1770/700 Pro X, other than the overemphasized treble, is the dip present in the lower-mids, causing quite a hollow sound. Thankfully with literally just one EQ filter you can remedy that issue. I'm assuming the DT770 Pro X is more similar than...
