Ugh, I didn't find these good at all for the price. Couldn't decide whether the D600 or D7100 were better as they both had their ups and downs but roughly comparable overall audio quality. $300-400 would be a more appropriate price for these IMHO.

I'm not sure any of the artists "listed" are relevant to anything except MTV watchers.
As far as allowing the music to move you...the T1's and HD800's are far more capable
than the 7100's....but require a higher level of equipment than the e17 to demonstrate it.

Listening to that music with that equipment - the d7100 would sound by far better than the hd800 or T1. I speak from experience with all gear/music mentioned
