I like to hearing piano, symphony, and human voice.

So the soundstage should be good, and mid and high should be good, of cos, I need high detail of music.

I do not like to much quantity of bass, but should have good quality, fast, focus, deep,etc.

Is there any model can fit my request?

some guy suggest 240s, but 240s has poor bass performance, and some guy say its high is also poor.....

sounds like you will love the hd555s. Forget the peoples saying they sound boring. It seems like what you are describing. You should try to audition a burned in pair if can though just to make sure.

ms-1's? sounds right about like what you're looking for.

I didn't find the K240S to my likings but I do know they are favored by a lot of people.

Anyhow you should look into both the Sennheiser HD555 and eH350. The 555 has a laid back bass response and decent mids and highs. The sound is signature-ly laid back.

The eH350 has instead tight, punchy, but held back bass, when the mids and highs are glowing. Soundstage is also decent.

MS-1, I considered it for a long time, then killed, because its soundstage is really poor, worse no soundstage at all./

thanks, some guy did recommand me HD555, but,,,e,,,I have bias on Sennhesier.... If it really fits my taste, I will love it.

by the way, what do you mean by "laid back bass", "held back bass"?

compare with 240s, the HD555, has a better soundstage, better mid and high, better detail, and better control of bass?^_^

Other than the large soundstage requirement, the MS-1 do sound like a real possibility. They fit all the other requirements quite well indeed.

Piano is great! The human voice can get you reaching for the facial tissues or a hanky! And all your other bases are covered....as long as you like standing up there at the podium with the conductor.

The MS2i opens things up a lot, but they're a bit out of the price range.

yes, MS2i is far out of the price range....

I took a long time to kill MS-1, you survive it again........

I tried some AKG K501 at the Toronto meet and they were really really great but they need an amp to drive them properly. They were quite detailed for ~$100 cans and had a huge soundstage and good mids. I liked them better than the K701. I considered it as a step up from the MS-1 soundwise.

HD555's don't have laid back bass, but a laid back sound in general. Some people find them boring, others do not. In comparison to the K240S the Senn's aren't as boomy nor as bright.

The eH350's have a tight, well maintained bass, but it's pushed back. It's not upfront or really shown.

MS1 or HD555. Keep in mind that with either you will upgrade to the higher-end products in the lineup eventually.

I had the 555s and the ms1 at the same time and for 90% of my stuff, i prefer the 555. Just more realistic sounding and spacious. ms1s are dry and boring in comparison

Look at the Equation Audio RP-21 for a closed headphone.

the hd555s are a little bit dark on the high part to me.
