You went and dug up that post just for this? Otsukaresama~

Search within thread function is pretty awesome--I just typed "panzer pantsu" and it singled out your post I like how you have all the advanced search options available now too.  I can search for "Joe" and have it sort posts by recency and I'd be able to find all the latest posts about me
 

LOL (because the American Eishi dialog is spoken in horrible English )

In case you didn't know: TSFs = Mechs, Eishi = Pilot

Preferred? Not really sure honestly. Like my music library, my ranges in what I like sonically seem spread out pretty well. I enjoy well extended and controlled bass but am by no means a bass head and have a decent solution to those needs in the M50 so my next headphone need not be overly thumpy in that region but definite presence would be needed. The phone would have to treat well most genres and I guess a jack of all trades is needed with great musicality. Although neutral sound is great and all, my next can needs to have the ability to not dry out some of my lesser recorded music(like some of my anime tunes) but has to be no chump when it comes to my classical, rock, and jazz stuff. Vocals are something that I will admit has to be good, especially female vocalists.

When I hear talk about the HD650, I don't hear a lot about technicalities of it's sound, I hear about how a lot of people find them to make them enjoy music and that though they are forgiving to an extent, they also can bring some of the accuracy people look for as well. Once again, not to the extent of some cans but I'm looking for a balancing act hear, and that may be tough to do at this level. I wish I was just like some people and listened to only a few things, but when you go to and from 2Pac, MJ, RHCP, John Williams, Eri Kitamura, and Boyz II Men in a matter of minutes, then you kind of have a problem in the first place =__=. This is why I'll always be a multiple headphones kind of guy but for now, I'm just looking for a great Headphone that will do well with most genres and that has a sense of liveliness to it. What that translates to, I dunno but I'm going to work hard towards finding out what will closest fit that definition.

Not to mention they aren't really full sized either.
Would any form of portability or transportability be of concern? I mean, if not you can probably manage to snipe some STAX on ebay.

No, they need to be dynamic, open, and full size. Also, they must pair well with my amp I guess but that's more of a given. Grado's however are not what I'm looking for. After spending two weeks with the SR325i, I have come to the conclusion that while I liked it for more acoustic pieces when I tried it at a meet, it does not mesh well with my equipment and overall library of music.

Panda bomb!

And it also has the functionality to automatically transcode files when syncing with some pretty customizable criteria to any file format the iPod supports.

Hm, I'll have to remember this for next time I am talking to apple users

A varied taste in music shouldn't necessarily deter you in your quest for one ultimate pair of cans:

I wish it could actually work with Wine. I was messing around on my friend's Macbook yesterday and I have such iTunes 11 envy! Argh!

I've never understood the idea that a headphone is "better" or "worse" for specific genres either. Well, I think it can be to a certain extent, but not to the specificity and detail that people often seem to make it out to be. I've certainly never entertained the idea of having multiple headphones just for different types of music. That just seems silly to me.

That desktop. Once I have it, I'm almost tempted to just use Windows at first and see if I can get used to it again or be able to stand it, just for the ability to use iTunes. Almost...maybe...

I wouldn't actually do that, but I almost want to. Most music players in linux suck hard. There's only a few that are decent and none that are actually very good.

Though I disagree with the notion that one can to rule them all just because some argument about mastering, I do believe the "ultimate can" is an extremely neutral unforgiving one. But beyond that, I do feel that sometimes, headphones that "color" the sound to fit certain genres better are a good thing and nice to have.

@Manveru I'm not saying I have to have a can for every single genre....that IS silly. But because their are very powerful extremes in the sound of music across the board of it all, tt can be necessary for people like me to feel the need for multiple headphones to please them. To further add into that, there is the whole idea of just simply loving how a certain headphone sounds with some things and how one may sound with others.Sometimes there is no better, there just is how each does things differently and there is something to be respected about that and how some folks have that issue. You don't have to have 20 headphones for that, but I can understand why some have 5 or so just because they enjoy how certain cans treat certain songs. Maybe there is a more balanced option out there for those guys, maybe there isn't. Until it comes to fruition, the best choice is to have more than one can.
