Well you don't need to be a scientist to find out how a headphone sounds. Overall balance of a headphone should be easily decrypted by looking up terms in the glossary and browsing in the headphones forums, taking a look at headroom FR graphs, etc.
Just be careful not to misinterpret stuff like "amazing detail an resolution".. imo, often that's just the result of a peak or resonances in the upper frequency range, or "speed" (rolled-off sub-bass and emphasis on mid/upper bass make any headphone sound "faster"), etc.
Combine that with your preferences and it shouldn't be hard to find a few matching headphones, good luck.
