I previously owned Monster Beats by Dr.Dre and they were terribly bass-driven. I'm looking for a very even and very well balanced set of earphones; Earphones with which I can listen to both extremely technical metal as well as classical music with the best possible reproduction of studio sound and the utmost of clarity. Price range for the above list is $200-$600 (with the Sennheiser HE60s being the exception, at $700.) I'm thinking that an Electrostatic system may be the best kind of driver, but I could be wrong.
I love--and live for--my music, and as such I want to be able to draw as much enjoyment out of it that I can. Any and all commentary and suggestions are greatly appreciated!
