Responding because I love the BA5s and EDM.
I would recommend them for those times when you
don’t want to listen to EDM
I concur, texture is airy, not dense - you won’t
feel the sub bass in the conventional sense. BA5s are definitely mid/upper bass centric, all the emphasis is on the melodic end of the bass lines. Which is awesome.
BA5s have the most extended mid range of all my ‘phones, perfectly tweaked to avoid shoutyness and stabbing (I’m hyper sensitive to upper mids as well).
They are fantastic for all the genres you’ve mentioned, and your post has reminded me again that it’s been way too long since I listened to any reggae...or dub (weirdly, I woke up this morning actually thinking about one of my favourite records from my youth that I haven’t heard in forever - War of Words by Singers & Players
http://www.deezer.com/album/10547787 ). Sorry, my mind is wandering!
Have a blessed weekend all, with a great soundtrack
