Headphoneus Supremus
Of course we do!
I think it's odd when we say a certain set of cans is great for this but bad for that - especially about the really high end sets of headphones.
My question is this: Are there examples of cans that are almost 'must-haves' for some styles of music that are then 'worse than what came with your iPod' for others? Can a set of headphones be THAT unbalanced? Take the HD 800 for instance, you could say it's terrible for trance or that Similarly high-end Grado would be better for rock music - but isn't it still heads and shoulders crazy better than whatever it was we were listening with before we got into this crazy hobby?
