Some people loves them for classical, for rock music, for their soundstage, but not many electronic music lovers uses them. They make the sound big but maybe lacks the punch needed in some beats. In the other side, AKG K701 are more clinical and cold, some prefers them for its definition. The Beyers are loved by electronic music heads, for sure, but more purists people thinks that their bass is over present. Grados are very punchy. Rock music people love them, but I can't read many testimonials of electronica being listened by those. BTW, all them are the "creme de la creme" the most available. Over there, we have the electrostatic ones, but the cost over $3K and many more. All this headphone world is pretty complex! lol HD650’s sounds kinda soft.

Im looking for some kick ass headphones to listen to friskyRadio on the go - so I guess I need to take a look at the Beyerdinamics 770 as I love me some bass. But I had been meaning to buy the HD650's as they look pretty slick and sound kick ass... http://www.sennheiserusa.com/newsite/productdetail.asp?transid=USHD650 Countach Thanks for the high-end suggestions.

The HeadRoom Airhead is a nice choice: http://tinyurl.com/9vucd Hi-end headphones can deliver extreme aural pleasure everywhere, everytime. Sure, they can't reach a very hi-end speaker system but... when in the street? Who can stand with the crappy sound that conventional earphones have? About the headphones of the post... Pah! Pure crap. In this days the kings in head size 'phones are, for examples, the AKG K701 for definition, the Sennseiser HD650 for musicality or the Beyerdinamics 770 if you want tons of bass.

Headphones are ALWAYS lacking the room and it's natural reflections, so headphones will never be the best solution for high end listening. There#s only one real solution for 100% natural sound: www.manger-msw.com The point is: Why headphones?
