I seem to post quite a few threads asking for advice on headphones, even though I read a trillion reviews around here. Anyway, I'm thinking about getting the Audio Technica ATH-ES10 for Christmas as I don't have a pair of high end (not ultra high end like the Sennheiser HE90) over-ears. I've read that they have some of the best subbass out there, with great mids and highs, though not a huge midbass hump either. My order of emphasis is sub-bass, mids, highs, then mid&upper bass. I also enjoy a fairly large soundstage, though not too massive, which I think the ES10 is supposedly lacking in. Though, I've had many recommendations before that "claimed" to have a great deal of subbass only to disappoint, and those that did have a great deal of true subbass didn't have anything but subbass, with the other regions being neglected. I may be asking for a phone above the $350 price point, but are the ES10 the closest I will get without going over that? I mainly listen to RnB (as in 90% of the time), though I do listen to literally every single genre, rock and classical included. I seriously appreciate any and all suggestions, I want these to be my last headphones before I find the money to afford a pair over $1k. Thank you once more!
