Actually you can tell a lot about something will sound from the graphs, it just takes some work. You've got to listen to a bunch of stuff first and compare your subjective impressions to the data and look for similarities among what you like and what you don't like. It sure won't tell you everything, but short of living next to a place like 32 Ohm its the best you're likely to get before having to spend some money on it first. I find graphs many times more useful than subjective reviews.
Of course I'd still like to try an HD25. I just don't think they look promising enough to pay the usual street price so its on my list of things to troll for bargains on. I tried to buy one when that Best Buy sale came up recently but I was too late. Maybe I'll be surprised. Even if I'm not, it will be another data to refine my interpretation of the graph data.
I'm not trying to dis the HD25. That would be silly since I've never heard it. I can however easily say based on the huge differences in measurements its blindingly obvious which one is closer to other 'phones I've heard and liked.
Of course my actual question was about tailoring sound sig to music genres and that applies to other "pairs" of 'phones as well...
you seem to be biased over the DT1350, nothing worng with that, but i dont think you can know hoe it sound by watching the graphics, give them a try if you can, who knows you might like them!
