Barcelona... and Headphone recommendations?

[Ste_S]

Soon to be in Barcelona, and looking to treat myself to a new pair of headphones. https://www.supersonido.es/c/hi-fi seems to have a good selection, anywhere else recommended?
I have Sennheiser HD560S and Hifiman HE400SE and looking to sample the next price bracket up... although judging by reviews on here for HD600 and Edition XS/Ananda Stealth, I'm not going to get anything that much better?

These three I'd want to demo:

Edition XV
490 Pro
R70xa

Supersonido is excellent. I'd recommend a demo session of all the headphones you've listed with a playlist spanning genres you listen to

What I feel deems demoing:

Sony MDR-MV1 - https://www.supersonido.es/p/sony-mdr-mv1
Hedd Audio D1 - https://www.supersonido.es/p/hedd-audio-heddphone-d1
Sennheiser HD660S2 - https://www.supersonido.es/p/sennheiser-hd-660s2

You really can't go wrong with the Sundara; in my experience, it is audibly superior to the other two you mentioned.
In my opinion, the Sundara and Edition XS offer some of the best value for money out there. I would skip the Ananda, however.
But do try to listen to the HE-1000 Stealth V4 and the various Arya models for comparison, even if they are above your budget.

Crucially, bring one of your own headphones along so you have a baseline for comparison. And, of course, bring a playlist, a source device, or a USB stick with your own music.

€300 or there and thereabouts.

Personally I liked the Ananda Nano, which I tried a couple of months ago, but you might find it a bit too punchy.

The Ananda Stealth won. I really wanted to like the Meze 105 AER, as I like the fit and the design, but the frequency response, especially in the treble, was all over the place.
