    Also ideally not crazy heavy (~500g or under). Was thinking LCD-2 with maybe some EQ to lift the highs a bit?

    2nd hand LCD-X? Might be a bit over 500g, i know the XC is.

    Yeah the X is like 612g. Just can’t see my neck liking that one, although it looks like one of the best options sound quality wise…

    I'm not really a planar person, don't own any, but I really enjoyed the LCD-X paired with the T4. Also recommend the updated suspension headband as it does a great job of making it feel lighter.

    The HFM Arya stealth will fill your requirements perfectly just be aware of the slight 2khz dip and softer mid bass punch. Also HFMs sound more ethereal overall.

    Heavily asterisked for many reasons, but I recently got a Verum for the same reason. Still evaluating, but I think it sounds like what you want. Drops off a bit around 30Hz with the perforated pads.
