Thanks obobskivich. Now I think I have a much better idea of stats sound.
Though to be really truthful it makes more sure that it might not be what I want.
Please, correct me if I'm wrong..
Firstly, good 40% of what I listen to is rock/metal and for those I think (from what I read) the LCD2/HE-500 might be better. Even though HE-500 might be more exciting initially, some of the heavier stuff do get fatiguing with high treble energy. Which is why I was leaning towards the LCD 2.
Secondly, although not a huge priority I watch a lot of movies too. And in my current environment I can't set up a home theater system. So headphones are the way to go. I think the LCD2 bests all other headphones in that. Mainly because of the bass performance.
Although, come to think of it, I do appreciate resolution and balance. Maybe if I could audition the staxes..
Again, thanks for the detailed description!
HE-500 is the least fatiguing headphone I have listened to. They are very smooth. fatigue is the last thing you should expect from this headphone (unless your listening too loud)
