Any opinions on the ENIGMAudio Dharma? Abyss? Odin?
 
I'm selling my LCD-2 v.2!

Well, ultimately you will rate for all the genres you list on the front page, I assume. Personally I listen to doom, trad metal, hard rock, stoner, psych, prog for the majority. Even when talking doom, it isn't all just about the low-end. Like with my current favorite, Magic Circle, NWOBHM-inspired guitar solos and vocals are important too.

I'm not that picky. I rarely feel the need to switch headphones between sub-genres. Even on my cheapo DT 770 Pro, I'll listen to these bands with no significant complaints: Christian Mistress, Golden Void, Graveyard, Ufomammut, Royal Thunder, Elder, Baron, Algiers, Sunder, Iron Maiden, Sleater-Kinney, Royal Headache, Uncle Acid, Anekdoten, Wand, Dungen, Roundtable and Gazpacho.
 
However I do listen for up to 5 hours a day, and write reviews, so I feel I owe the bands and my ears at least some listening time on at least one different set of flagship level phones along with good speakers.

I would go for Abysses, if I had budget for them ) In a couple days I'll post what I think about Odins vs Abysses and LCD-X (in Odins thread). Dharma - never tried them.
 
BTW, I like your reviews!

 Your opinion is very productive for me in a search for somthing worth listening in flood of new albums.
