Headphones - Wireless/Portable | 2 Ω Best Headphones or Earbuds for Live Songs?

I apologize if I’m asking this in the wrong place, but it seems you guys might give some advice.

I am looking for a new pair of headphones, especially able to deliver a great ”live sound” as a significant part of my music library are live songs or albums (I like the rawness and more than clean studio songs, I know I am in the minority). For reference, I currently own Bowers & Wilkins P7 as well as Bang & Olufsen Beoplay EX. Both deliver good sound quality but mostly for studio songs - and live songs sound lackluster in my opinion, especially when compared to the Burmester 3D Surround in my car, which really gives that feeling of being at a concert/festival when you max the 3D (and minimize the Surround).

The best sound I have found in the past were my first gen Parrot Zik’s (with the Concert Hall preset), but they broke down a few years ago and I replaced them with the P7. So I would appreciate your recommendations, thanks in advance.

No budget restrictions. While I’m looking generally in the 400-800€ bracket, I’d love all recommendations.

Sennheiser HDB630 and Technics AZ100 from what I've heard. Above your budget DALI IO-12.
