My wonderfully light and comfortable Sennheiser HD590 phones finally died after many years, so I went with the not quite as light but still very comfortable DT880. Not an order of magnitude better sound, but slightly better and more neutral.
A key benefit to the HD590 was the detachable, one-sided cable, which I replaced 3 times until I learned to be more gentle. The DT880 has a one-side cable, but it isn't detachable, and I understand it's expensive to repair if you aren't a DIYer. So be gentle.
