[Most of what I searched turned up people with a range of genres at a specific price range, and everyone has specific needs, so I hope this is deserving a thread..]
The music I am buying headphones for is (the ever general genre) post-rock. Favourites include Mono, Sigur Ros, and Godspeed You! Black Emperor..
The qualities I find in this music are
- high dynamic ranges
- wide range of instruments, including both traditional 'rock' instruments, and full orchestras (along with some more obscure instruments)
Now whenever anyone mentioned post-rock, they mentioned a bunch of other genres, like regular rock, progressive, metal, screamo, hardcore, etc..
Usually the recommendation was Grado ('heard someone say they're the best for rock), but with such a wide range of instruments (including acoustic, and orchestra) and complicated loud, climactic parts with all the instruments going at once, are "rock" headphones what I'm really looking for?
I also like alternative, indie, ambient, and the like.
^ TOO LONG:
Are "rock" headphones, like Grado, what I'm really looking for with post-rock that tends to lean to orchestra/classical instruments and wide dynamic range?
ALSO; hello to everyone on the forums, hope I'm not a huge pain
