The music I listen to is mostly vocals. I have the Beyer T1s, Anedio D2, custom Woo Audio amp (equivalent to WA2) and an IPod dock with digital out.
My impressions on what I have heard are:
Beyer T1 - great balanced sound but treble can get fatiguing after long listening
LCD2 - great control. Better bass and mids compared to T1 but vocals too far away (more drowned out by bass and mids). Not as comfortable as T1s
HD800 - find the sound too analytical but very comfortable headphones
Hifiman HE-6 - treble seemed dull compared to the other 3 headphones
HD650 - not heard this but read it's not as detailed or has the control of the other headphones mentioned but very musical.
Is there a headphone that I should listen to? I am looking for detailed, musical headphones which have a good emphasis on vocals but not fatiguing. Or is the case of modding the T1? Just scared of opening up such expensive headphones. Any advice would really be appreciated.
