Giving serious thought to these headphones among others
I think the GR07s (either the mkii or BE) fit what I want ( a good all-rounder but some decent enough bass with good clarity)
I listen to a lot of soundtracks - by John barry (e.g., bond soundtracks, ipcress file etc), zimmer (e.g., dark knight rises, inception, lone ranger, sherlock), james horner (star trek soundtracks), john williams (indiana jones, star wars), as well as johnny cash, les mis, latin stuff from the 1960s, elvis, morricone, bear mccreary, muse, not a huge basshead but I like some bass for tracks that require it.
The main thing that puts me off the GR07 is that they go around the ear...does anyone find that a little uncomfortable? Otherwise i'd look at the GR01s, though im not sure it really suits my needs as well..but at least they don't go over the ear. Or maybe something from the shure range? hifiman? The GR07 does seem to be the most widely praised though...
