From the top of my head I'd say Chesky's Ultimate Demonstration Disc and Open Your Ears. There's a thread about the latter here.

 

[vcoheda]

try the HF/chesky sampler.

+1 for the "Open Your Ears" disc.
Excellent recording and mastering quality, plus tracks that are (can be) know to all fellow Head-Fi'ers - for comparison.

 

[plonter]

I just use some tracks/albums i know very well as reference.

I use this track to test bass response. I created it using Audacity.

20Hz - 60Hz Beats

Those IEMs usually have distortion in very low frequency beats, distortion sounds like ringing. Full size usually pass the test.

The HDTrack website doesn't accept customers from outside the US

 

[Deep Funk]

'Welcome To The Jungle' by Guns N'Roses. Otherwise Jazz, Funk, more Rock and House and I have an Audio Test CD with test tracks.

The best comparisons are made with music you really know, then you don't have your attention taken by the song but can focus on the differences between the headphones.

Do not know about the rest of the HDTrack website, but the Open Your Ears album is available worldwide. I placed my order from Norway with zero issues.

The HF/Chetsky disk and of some of my favorite tracks - what I usually listen to. Usually good recordings but also a crappy track or two out of interest.

 

[Deep Funk]

Do they sell the CDs again?

 

[Mad Lust Envy]

It really is about music you know well yourself.

For me, there's two songs that make or break headphones for me.

Pendulum - Granite

Pendulum - Tempest

The first song is purely for bass and overall impact, the second sounds like 3 songs in one, so I can gauge the headphones...

I would say it's more about instrument that you know very well...by having listened to them live close & personal (or played), ie; garage jam, rock club, auditorium, concert hall, etc...
The open Your Ears album has a good selection of tracks...
The percussion imaging test is great...
Listen hard and draw your own conclusion...
Have fun
Cheers
