Detail and clarity go hand and hand. Detail exposes certain audio queues, listen to older Tool tracks between different sets of headphones, EQ whatever it is as well.

On a daily basis I listen to Bluetooth beats(the sports ones) at work, which is just convient and sounds pretty good. Then I get home and jump to DT990s, which are decent, just all around budget friendly and sound good. Then I jump to my LCDs, and it's just a leap in detail, clarity, Frequency response, etc. (Typically I don't even wear the DT990s anymore)

Planar magnetic headphones are just a different breed/experience. I plan on getting a pair of focals next possibly.

To many people overlook EQ and never realize what it brings to the table. The only thing I don't have to EQ is my JBL 305s, aside from that, I run EQ on my DT990s and LCD2Cs. EQ 9/10 wakes up every headphone to what it should be.

Edit: never listened to 660/6xx, etc never been a big fan of the Sennheiser hype I guess.

Definitely EQ them. The clarity is so much better once EQ'd. Can't remember the EQ I use for mine. But after EQ, I can't imagine anything sounding better. Maybe something with the mids and lows of audeze, but highs of a beyer dynamic?
