Looking to upgrade from Sennheiser Momentums

Currently using a pair of Momentums in my work rig. Amp is a Schitt Asgard2. The upgrade itch has hit. Overall I like them, but if I had to nitpick, I'd say the Momentums are a little bass heavy, a little constrained in the mids & lacking air. I need closed back cans, which may make it tough to improve upon what I already have. Max price $400.

Suggestions?

    Well I still love my Momentum over ear's and use them daily,

    But, the recent acquisition of the Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Headphones has definitely on up'd the Momentum's, but they too are bass heavy, however they are very open sounding and hard to put down for a closed headphone. The wood enclosures are beautiful as well....highly recommend.
