I have read many reviews of HPs and had and have couple of them (Philips X2, AKG K712, K812, Audeze LCD2, Focal Elear, Hifiman HE560, Hifiman HE6, Sennhiser HD800, HE1000, AKGK3003i)
In describing a HP I noted many use the words- "Bright, Neutral, Dark, Fun sounding, Harsh, Reference". Others words in use are "Lows, Mids, Highs, Mid base, Sound stage, Separation, Air etc"
Only for few HPs I have seen the word "Musical" being used. In my journey I found that this “Musicality” is the most important aspect for me as a hobbyist (I am not a mastering engineer and just listen for pure enjoyment and relaxation). I do not know how to define what Musicality is but guess you would know it when it is there (I think it is all the things present but in a magic mix).
My vote for musicality go to to Hifiman HE1000 from what I have heard. Of all my review readings I noted that the word "musicality/musical" appear more for HE1000 than any other. I quote from Tyll's review "
$3000 is a lot of dough to part with, but if you're going to spring for an end-game headphone the HE1000 is a "must listen." For me, it provides solid gains in listening satisfaction from the less expensive Ether, HD 800, LCD-3, and the like. That kind of differential is hard to come by at this price point. But listening satisfaction is strongly tied to personal taste, so I wouldn't buy on my words only. Take the time to seek out an audition."

I am also looking for IEM that is very high in musicality and may consider upgrade to HE1000 if I could find more musical HP.
Appreciate your suggestions, advice and contribution
