It's funny how preferences differ between people. I much preferred listening to Daft Punk with the RE-ZERO's than I did with the Monster Turbines (in response to the bass). The highs were just so much more pleasing with the RE-ZERO's and they coped well with the speed.
What would be the logical, direct upgrade after the RE-ZERO? A similar sound signature with maybe a little more in the bass end, better speed/soundstage.
I do like daft punk (and all other music) better with my primary earphones, which lean towards the analytical, but there are times when I'm tired or whatnot and I just don't care about anything but the beats. Doesn't happen too often.
I think to upgrade from the RE-ZERO you'd have to stray a bit from that signature. The RE262 uses a highly capable driver that generally sounds cleaner than the RE-ZERO and delivers more bass and a wider stage. However, it also moves away from the analytical tendencies of the ZERO towards a warmer, more fluid signature.
