Oooooh!!!!
Very useful!!.... As I had the P5s for about a week last year.
I loved them for a day. Then grew concerned. Then hated them and returned them.
They clamp. Their sound is far from natural...
Laura Marling, for example, sounded unnatural on them. The acoustics didn't sound natural, not wooden enough. Very important to me
My Bose on Ears were more natural; and they are coloured to hell!
Your chart suggests I MAY love the T51s, judging from your assessment against the P5s.
I listen to a lot of folk, classic rock, modern rock, some electro (Air/ Royksopp) Singer songwriters where vocals and guitars matter a lot...
I'm glad I could help. it's always good to have something to compare your headphone to.
I own both the P5 Series 2 (I could get them for €150!) and the t51p. I prefer the t51p, but the P5 S2 is not bad after some equalizing. Without equalizing the P5 S2 also works well with drum&bass. It's not my favourite genre though

I am guessing you recommend the T51i/p then in my case?
I guess I would. The DT1350 are not a bad option either. I already explained why I prefer elevated bass for portable cans so before you make your decision please note:
Comparing my T1s to the t51p/i in a quiet environment, the elevated bass is very clear and I prefer the T1 (obviously). In a noisy environment, the T1 looses some of the lower frequencies and even though I really like neutral sound, the t51p starts sounding better to me.
You decide what you prefer.
