I grew up listening to some vocalists. My Dad was an audiophile and spent a lot on his systems. I got to love the voices of Barbara Streisand and Neil Diamond, the tenors of the Bee Gees and the voice of our recently deceased Michael Jackson. There are a lot more artists, whose singing voices I grew to love and know very well.
All I can say is Wow!!!... these AH-D5000's certainly do wonderful things with those voices. Absolutely wonderful reproduction. The HD650's have not been able to do it this well. In fact, it was the one little axe I had to grind with the Sennheiser HD650's. The reproduction of voice would not be quite right for some singers. I couldn't quite put a hand on it. Anyway, I am listening to Barbara Streisand's 'Memories' and it's really great.
But then again, the prominent bass of these cans make listening to the Buddha Bar albums a problem. Those albums carry heavy bass in the sound production or a quality that is too exaggerated by the D5000's. I'm wondering how the D7000's would handle those CD's.
