Bump. Have there been any studies on this in the past?

^I'm not entirely sure, sometimes I think of it as instrumental, but compared to the other genres, it does seem closest co classical.    So far, here is where I am at with the Momentums. They have had about 20+ hours of burn in and are now sounding much better. My biggest complaint about these...

My bad, I forgot to mention; I think I'm going to restrict myself to just closed-back headphones; I'll most likely be taking these with me when I travel.   Also, I am starting to notice that on a lot of songs and videos from youtube, the Momentums play certain sounds differently from earcup to...

Okay, so after talking with my friend for a bit, I decided to go ahead and get the Senn. Momentums which were selling at around $150 when I got them. I'm fine with the fact that they are not the best at classical, because I was also looking forward to having a portable closed pair of cans.   I...

Sorry for the bump; really looking forward to making a decision by tomorrow night.

Unfortunately, that does stretch my budget a bit too much. I am once again considering the DT 880 Pro's in addition to the three i mentioned. I originally thought the semi-open cans would not work, but some sources say that there is not much sound leakage, just less isolation which I do not mind...

Thanks for the replies guys; at this point I have eliminated a few options because I would really prefer to have closed headphones for portable use with an E11 or E17. I'm looking at the NAD Viso HP50, PSB M4U 1, and the Blue Mo-Fi. Can anyone go over their strengths and how they compare among...

Lately I've been looking at some of the headphones offered by JVC, and a lot of their products use carbon nanotube technology. I also recall reading some posts on various websites about how this can be potentially harmful to your ears and is capable of causing great injury. Just curious, have...

Thanks for the suggestions! I've never had the opportunity to try any of them though, so I was wondering if someone could compare them a bit. I guess the character I would want out of them is a fuller and overall more impactful sound that I guess sounds "bigger." For example, something that...

My bad for the double-post. Just thought Id' post some links to some of the music.   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eHFA_wEK_00   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VGJGXMUhmc   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LqRZ2_w56U0

Hello, I'm looking for some good headphones around $300 ($400 max perhaps) that work best for classical and instrumental music. I know I made a really similar thread to this about a year ago, I don't remember, but at the time I just decided to stick with my M50's. I know there are a lot of...

Just wanted to mention that I would want the most important aspect of the headphones to be a really musical and acoustic sound for classical and orchestral music (things like movie scores, and overall concert pieces). Just for reference, this is probably something I listen to for about 2 hours...

Interestingly enough, those were the two headphones I was paying attention to before starting this thread. How do they compare with each other? If someone could recommend similar closed headphones (looking for portability with amp), that would be appreciated as well. Thanks.

Hello all, I'm looking for some good headphones for approximately $300 (willing to go a little higher but not too much) for listening to "epic," orchestral music in general. I listen to Two Steps from Hell a lot, so songs like these...I'd want them to be portable with an iPod, but I can get an...

 Which one (Ed 9, Ed 8, Sig Pro) produces a tight and punchy and fast noise (NOT NECESSARILY BASS) that can be felt  with music like this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Fay-HRYTEw?
