Hifiman staging, timbre, and slam can change radically depending on the angle and position in which the headphones are worn on the head, so you need to find the sweet spot. Rule of thumb is that if the stage sounds tall, you probably messed up.

Can't speak for those three headphones in particular, but when in the ideal spot, Hifiman's HE1000V2 sounds closer to my near-field loudspeakers than anything else I've heard, including the comparatively depth-lacking HD800S.

There really is something special with HEKv2 soundstage, mostly good but sometimes a little odd. Haven't heard any other headphones like it.
