Arya Stealth sidegrade

[JediMa]

I love me Arya Stealth and I'm not really planning to replace them, I'm just looking for headphones on the same level but with a warmer sound, stronger bass and even better imaging and detail eventually with smaller soundstage. What would you buy? I was considering Sennheiser HD 660S2, but i'm not so sure that they are the right ones, or what else?

I strongly recommend the HD490 Pro. Tuning-wise you’re basically looking at a dynamic driver take on the Hifiman house sound with the classic uppermid dip, only the bass is warmer and the upper frequencies sound smoother over the Sennheiser.
Distortion is also impressively low over the 490, so you’re basically in planar territory if you listen to music at normal levels…which also means you can throw some EQ it’s way.
Cherry on top; comfort is absolutely sublime.

It's outstanding but OB... so I bought Fiio FT5 and it's not a sidegrade but a little but very cool downgrade. Very funny and relaxing headphones, built like tanks and I can wear for hours, never fatiguing.
