Yeah. Recording/Mastering quality is a nice, easy front to hide behind when it comes to dislike of certain genres, and honestly, plain old musical snobbery. Its more common than you might think sadly, especially in speaker land audiphillia.
This has to be one of the most classic snobbish rants I've seen on any audiophile forum. I have no intention to argue whether certain music are superior to others, but just want to point out that a large amount of people listen to and thoroughly enjoy pop crap on $4000 headphones and that makes it helpful for reviewers to review those headphones on those songs.
You might consider that as unfortunate as either "people are not enjoying the most superior item" or "people are wasting the capabilities of their expensive headphones on cheap trash", but I speak for myself that many of those cheap trash sound a lot better with more expensive headphones to me, so I personally don't consider those headphones as under utilized.
Don’t take it so seriously. It was a rant. I just think people who review top end audio gear should make more of an effort to listen to and learn about classical music. It should be part of being a serious reviewer.
Clearly the most superiorestest music ever is electronic music since it does not limit you to a finite, human countable number of instruments, or even reality itself; every conceivable combination of samples is attainable, allowing a truly infinite amount of combinations over time.
I agree with you to a certain extent, but keep in mind that composers like Busoni, Messiaen, Varèse, and Stockhausen (to name only a few) were the ones who pioneered electroacoustic music. Electronic music is part of classical music and has been for almost a hundred years.
Not really sure what my headphones sound like, but the box sounds like harmonic butter on macrodynamic toast.
in all seriousness I posted initial reactions a way back if you care to read. Any specific questions or tracks you’d like specifics on I can get info, but as to other high end comparisons I’ve only got Drop+ ether CX just now.

And from my end some agreement in the sense that my test tracks cover a range of (what I consider to be) well recorded instruments, and if any headphone or speaker cannot reproduce them well, they won't do it for me. While that's necessary, it's not sufficient because I listen to wide range of genres with a lot of variability in recording quality, so anything that cab only do classical music well wouldn't do the trick, I suspect. Though it seems that to you that term encompasses a lot more than it does to me and my ignorance, so it's possible that a product that covers all kinds of classical music well wouldn't do poorly with Pop or European Hardestyle, either.

Ne Obliviscaris is one of my favorite bands. I would not say this is melodic metal, I would classify it as progressive death metal. My favorite album is Portal of I, and Forget Not is my favorite song, but I like pretty much all their releases.
Back on topic: looking forward to more impressions on the Stealth!

The other person commented on bass. I was just referring to what the review said about the bass. I actually like stat bass. I get fatigued with too much bass. I loveeeee stat sound. I'm just waiting on Meze's new flagship and comparisons and then I'll choose my next can.

Sorry if I missed it, but how's the sound leakage on these? If I buy them, I will also be using them in office, so just want to be sure the leakage isn't a lot!
Also, I had bought the Aeon Closed back on 2018 but sold it after a year, would I still be open on getting the DCA club discount? I did register but still shows the same price.
