Looking for new music to test out the soundstaging on my new headphones. Just let me know what you got!

I use the descent into Nibelheim from Karajan's Das Rhinegold for that. But I don't know how much good it is to check soundstage on cans. You can't adjust it like you can with speakers.

This is the best I've found for auditioning new phones.

anything by coldplay or the killers, although, headphones don't really have much of a soundstage like speakers do...

This song here will test almost all of those... but you really need to get a better source for this song. The YouTube version does this no justice. There's no other song that feels like the vocalist is singing right in your ear and you can literally feel her breath.

 

The song is called Futari Umi no Soko by School Food Punishment. Get a good quality file and you'll see what I'm talking about.
