Detail, soundstage and separation, sounds like ananda or edition xs.

I went from a 560s to an Ananda and it was quite the upgrade. Though I have to say that I don't think they would be in the same upgrade line if this was a tech tree from a game or something. I find the Ananda much more relaxed with no treble peaks and a huge space where the music happens. The 560s is sharper and a little fatiguing, but I sense a soundstage that seems more faithful with what the mix wants to show. That being said, Ananda all the way. I can't hear the sennheiser for a long time because it's so sharp now.

Have you tries the Arya? How do they compare?

I have the 560s and the Aryas and the latter make the 560s sound quite cheap in comparison. I think the 560s sound great and I love them for regular use, but if I'm listening to the Aryas and switch to the 560s, the difference is night and day. Obviously that doesn't happen unless I intentionally want to compare them.

Thanks, I'll look into it. Quite the jump in price, though! Maybe someday down the line.

Edition XS is equal to the Ananda in most respects and can be found at around $400

The edition XS is basically same headphone but using stealth magnets which give it more bass but a bit less soundstage. Ananda has good bass but is lacking sub bass. You can also find both of these headphones second hand for alot cheaper than on their retail websites.

Try out Sundara. I found it to be similarly balanced in sound to 560s but much more exciting and 3d sounding. Costs 300€.
