I am in the US, and I have a pair of Sennheiser HD700s I've had for many years. I don't do anything other than listen to music and take calls, but I am really into classic rock and classical music and love high quality audio. I tried some new Sennheisers and they seemed sort of plastic/low quality.
I am not really a knowledgeable audiophile so...
So if I have a thousand dollar budget, just recommend something and I'll check it out Thanks!
I have spent some years with high end headphones. The Stax SR-900 with a decent amp (not Stax) is the way to go for your classical music. For rock and other genre, I would look at Planars, they have the warmth and body, great bass extension and low fatigue v other types.
I would thus look at the Audeze LCD4-Z or LCD3 used. The 4-Z is easy to drive.
This is the crucial question. The headphone is part of a system. Your money may best be spent upstream. If you're playing music through a computer soundcard, there is much room for improvement, with an outboard DAC/amp. IME, Sennheiser headphones sound best driven by a tube amp, but some consider tubes a hassle.

Sadly, the next upgrade I can think of that you might like is the US$1500 Focal Clear Mg headphones.
HD700 is just too good and headphones prices have gone up.
I haven’t listened to Arya Organic but I do like HiFiMan headphones and I guess they’re currently on sale from US$1300 to US$979. So definitely a great suggestion too.
The Op hasn't been around since he posted the thread and his question on Dec 16. Seems like he's not interested in either the input or engaging so why keep responding
