Hello!

I am looking for some headphones to Compliment my Kali LP-UNF speakers in terms of mixing/sound-design. I already have a SMSL SU-8s and a Monoprice THX Monolith headphone amp with some 598 Cs along with Sonarworks, but I'd like to use the 598cs on the go, and have some better headphones at home for mixing/sound-design.

I was looking at the HD 600 family, and while they are a good pair of headphones, my Kalis only go down to 54hz over balanced TRS, and I would like a pair of headphones that I can check my bass accuracy on to complement my monitor selection. Budget is under 500 USD, and I'm pretty sensitive to headphone clamping pressure if that means anything.

What would you all recommend?
 
I got a pair of Thieaudio Ghost and really impressed how close they sound to the Sennheiser HD600 at 1/3rd the price. Even the fit and build feels just like them. Also they use the Hifiman double 3.5mm cable style so some Youkamoo cables are really affordable for balanced. They have about the same power requirements and sound really good. Just had an HD600 last week to compare them to and it's a value for money winner.
