Anybody like these for any music other than classical/jazz?
Anybody like these in general?

i too was thinking of picking up a pair of 501s to augment my 580s. do you happen to have a pair of the senns? if so, what kind of comparison could you make about the two headsets? i find my 580s to be quite neutral/natural, so i was wondering if maybe the 501s are more or less so. |
One way of putting it that's occurred to me (though I'm not sure it's quite right) is that if the K501 can convey the pluck of the bass very well, but not the growl. If the album is mixed so that the pluck carries the bassline, the K501 will do; if the growl carries it, the music just sounds thin. |
