I listen to a lot of 'chiptunes', music made from old video game systems and computers. This makes it hard when looking for new headphones to buy because having a setup sound awesome for 'classical', 'jazz' or 'pop' doesn't really help. To get an idea of what kind of headphones would be good for this style can you guys listen to this mp3 and rate them on yours?
It is the bassline channel from one of my most favorite songs:
Tempest - Blackjack (Bass Channel Only)
Tempest - Blackjack (Bass Channel Only) (FLAC)
Also included is the complete song:
Tempest - Blackjack
Tempest - Blackjack (FLAC)
My Rating:
1. KSC75
2. Philips HP890
3. Shure E2C
4. Creative EP630
I really like the sparkle and airyness that the KSC75 give this song. I kinda felt that the E2C were a step backwards even know they cost me significantly more then my other headphones. The high highs on the HP890s are better but the KSC75 does everything else much better.
Any recommendations for this style?

Edit: Added FLAC files for those of you are into that kind of thing.
