Best Cans for Jazz?

Depends on my mood. The AKG K-501 is always great, but I mix it up with the DT880, MDR-SA5000 and HP-2. Love them all, but the K-501 gets the most head time. There's something very "right" about that headphone.

I would recommend the HD650 or the AKG K701. Both these cans have liquid smooth mids, great impact on bass and decent top end (although my Beyers DT880 bests both these cans on the top end).

I'm a huge Jazz vocals fan and since acquiring both, the HD650 and AKG K701, I'm in heaven.

Personally, if you have an amp to drive these cans, I do prefer the K701 a little more (somehow the sessions with the K701 were a little more intimate but still having the space and soundstage with the HD650 sounding a little further away).

Have fun!
