I've just recently gotten into high end audio and I've already purchased and have been listening to my pair of Shure e4c's for the past few months. These are great headphones but they left me wanting more in the "immersion" categories. When I say immersion I mean the ability of the headphones to surround you with music and deliver the most engaging and enjoyable listening experience possible without regard to how neutral they are.
So far from trolling around the forums here and researching different pairs of headphones I've come to the conclusion that the best pairs of headphones for this type of listening are the:
EDIT:
-Grado SR225
-Grado HF-1
-Alessandro MS2i
-ATH-ES7
But feel free to suggest any other pairs because your experience in this field undoubtedly surpasses mine.
I listen to rock/metal mostly but I'm not sure what I would call the particular genre that it falls into so I'll list a few bands...
-The Fall Of Troy
-Alesana
-Dance Gavin Dance
-BlessTheFall (I'm fairly sure they omit the spaces)
-Escape The Fate
-LostProphets (I'm fairly sure they omit the space also)
-Drop Dead, Gorgeous
-Taking Back Sunday
-The Academy Is...
-Inhale/Exhale
-Jimmy Eat World
-Rise Against
-Coheed and Cambria
-Something Corporate
And I would like headphones that would be able to produce music from those artists (and that genre in particular) with extreme proficiency.
I hope I included enough information and thanks in advance!
