I must add the ath-100ti. but only for jazz(which I listen to mostly) I'm sure lou has before but has since jumped ship for the ath-1000
people's main complaint is the lack of bass, but for jazz it is great. You really hear the standup as what it was meant to sound like, not as buzz or hum like in more modern music. I am listening to medeski martin and wood right now and I can hear the wood creaking and strings twanging, even chris woods' obligatory scatting over the bass solo.
Otherwise the detail is intense, great to add a live quality to normally reserved jazz recordings
of course I have a pair of sr80's sitting nearby in case I want to rock out.
