Yes AKG 701 and 702 is one of good one for classical music especially Jazz. AkG is generally good for classical. recommended,

Why only for U.S?! We Sennheiser fans are all over the world! :(

That was exactly what I said in this thread like 5months ago :) that is why, it is named as Momentum. 

I think that Sennheiser HD25 and 26 is more towards pro gear and business line. Style is a personal issue, i personally love the look of all Sennheiser headphones, but I do not want my headphone to look flashy or too stylish that people will start to think tat my headphone is expensive, because...

Fostex maddog will be your choice . hehe its that good

Has anyone tried KEF M200 In-ear? Surprisngly Good for $200? I like it better than $1k iem. seriously

P5 is a definite No to Classical Music, its hard to find headphone that is good for Classical Music, simply you  need a flat signature headphone to enjoy Classical Music, because simply Concert Hall has their own acoustic engineer that change the sound signature depending on the music being...

The only headphone that you may need is Sennheiser HD600, DT880 Beyerdynamic 250 ohms pair up those with cheap amp such as FiiO E12 mont blanc will do and magic! I have experience in playing Piano, orchestral members, conductor and music student, so i think you should quickly get those and...

You mean in US not available? But IN Asia, amperior cost about US$380-400. You know how expensive headphones outside US>

it is now $170 on amazon, isn't it a good deal?

Why nobody include Sennheiser Amperiors here?is it that bad?

HD600 all the way when it comes to serious Classical Music listening for exam.. hehe :D

Hmm, none of Beats by dre headphone can be used for studio recording because its too far from flat or neutral, its more for processed and music listening. :>

Not forgetting the popular MDR-7506 Sony for decades, i've seen them in Churches, recording studios, and some serious orchestral recording as well, because its very cheap indeed but too bad its been replaced with 7502!! Must try

I love Debussy, listen to his music "La Mer" its stunning like non others !

I am greedy to try this when he said that this lean towards HD 6xx sounding..****, Must try this.

For your needs 501p, since you love bass

M50 can be consider as agressive bassy headphone! It is not totally flat folks, the cheaper headphone that is cheaper is HD449! And flat headphone is also HD600.

Seems like P7 will be my next buy, but how do they isolate and sound leakage? I am very particular with this as my Momentum doesn't isolate much but it really does a good job from preventing sound leakage. Does the soundstaging that he described is as huge as open headphones like hd600? I am...

You're hardcore, thx appreciated!

How is the M500? I love the Momentum but i trade it awhile ago with HD600 which i really love it like none other... And how is P7 as well?

I am really a newbie and do not understand the debate above... Sensitivity vs impedence, I know it a little, but I have a question, does battery level of portable amp affect the sound quality? i know it when the sound changes when my amp is about to die.

Yeah but HD800 definitely not worth to be driven by E12, it needs something like Lehmanns or HDVD800, its day and night to me, but my HD600 just another winner with E12.

I turn it up to 50% and i get almost the same volume with HD800 and Hd600.However, HD 800 is quite rough and sounds somehow wrong with E12 until i plugged it to some Lehmann desktop Amp. No wonder that Sennheiser made its own amp to pair up with $2000 HDVD 800 amp. -.o I can't afford that , so i...

I mean you don't own the company right.. Why are you so bias and one-sided, as if you are paid to say such a thing haha, I love Senheiser, but I do not bash a headphone base on their branding, but listen to each individual headphone, there are always good and bad product.
