I am lookibg for a set of cans that excel with female vocals: Rin', Perfume, Florence and the Machine, Stevie Nicks, Sixpence None the Richer, Natalie Merchant, and Sophie Milman. I'll be using an iPhone. Thanks for you recommendations.

On-ear, over-ear, or in-ear?

If you like female vocals, some mid tier shures may fit the bill, their mid forward sound signature tends to bring out vocals more.

On-ear is my preference, but I am open to other possibilities.

EDIT: For in-ears, you certainly can't go wrong with Etys, any of the Hifiman IEMs especially the 262 or 272, and the TDK BA200 does very well also.

What about in-ears? Looking for one as a spare Thanks!

hf2 or hf5 basicly but are the same but one is a headset they are phenomenal for the price.
 
anything that is more mid forward or mid emphasized also extended highs are great for vocals

Thank you for your recommendations. Ironically enough, I had a pair of BeyerDynamic DTX 71 iE on order from Amazon when I started this thread. The Beyers do a wonderful job of being excellent with female vocals. The 71s don't seem to have the best build quality, so if I need another set of headphones for female vocals I will look further into your recommendations.
