I just sold the 831s (don't take that as any indication of quality, though) and liked them with classical music, specifically chamber music, where the lack of a strong bottom end is not problematic. However, I can see where they can be viewed as "lacking" if you're listening to symphonic music that may have more heft.

I now have the 770s (that's the reason why I sold the 831s) and unfortunately have not tried them with classical.

My favorite closed phone is the JVC HA-DX3, which excels with classical (and most other types of music). The sound all around is balanced, and they're very comfortable.
