Best praise vs top criticism for ZMF Atrium

Best Praise

Might be worth considering a ZMF Atrium. It has plenty of midbass and slow decay unlike planar headphones. It's not as detailed as the headphones that you have, but it's engaging, lush, and IMO makes everything sound lovely with its addicting timbre. Its soundstage isn't as wide as your HE1000 but it has strong imaging. I think it's most similar to the 600 series Sennheisers but a significant upgrade in all aspects. Another notable mention is the Modhouse Tungsten, but you will have to also upgrade your amplifier due to the insane power this headphone requires.
