Don't know about trance, but I listen to rock/metal. Personally the HD800 is my least favourite headphone for this genre. It does lack punch (more so than the HD650). The Denon 5000/7000 or JVC DX1000 would be my choice for a "punchy" sound with this type of music. The HD800 is best suited to "small scale", or "clean" and "delicate" types of music - female vocals, Jazz, etc. etc. IMHO, not screaming, heavily distorted guitar and pulsating bass lines.

I own the HD650 and think that they are nice with metal and electronic,but they do lack some punch IMO (but the bass can go very deep in the notes), I wondered if the HD800 have more punch. |
