"The Dark Knight" - James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer. 
 
This soundtrack sounds absolutely incredible through the Sennhesier HD650's and I'm sure it would sound just as good on the HD600 and the HD800.

+1 - Not a perfect soundtrack, thought it was my rig but there are a few glitches on this recording 
still a dark atmospheric classic, great for testing separation.
 
LCD2/3 does pretty well with this soundtrack too.

Yes, there are songs that I am not a huge fan of, but a few select songs that I think sound absolutely brilliant. Both James Newton Howard and Hans Zimmer are really amazing composers and I have a feeling I will absolutely adore their music for years and years to come.

Any well recorded psy/goatrance. When theres sounds and stuff coming from every direction, the excellent imaging of HD600 makes it very psychedelic experience...

 
Also ambient, downtempo and acoustic music sounds wonderful.

Really? I just listened to this track on my Q701s, and I'm not impressed. Im my opinion all K70x/Q701are boring when it comes to playing electronic music. Even with EQ. That's why I bought the AH-D7000 to supplement  them. 

Don't get me wrong, I love the Q701s but I think they are way better on jazz for instance:

Astral projection - Ambient Galaxy on PX-100 II
 
Incredibly smooth.

I'm surprised how good these phones are for the price.

I love using Sigur Ros tracks to demo headphones because they're so complex, offering something different for every type of sound profile.  Specifically, I use "Svefn-g-englar" and "Olsen Olsen" from the album Agaetis Byrjun; I find both to be incredibly beautiful but for different reasons.  On headphones with a big sound stage, these tracks will make you feel like you're flying.  More forward, mid and treble-focused headphones, like my Grado SR80i, will accentuate the ethereal vocals on both tracks, the buzzsaw sound of a heavily distorted guitar being played with a viola bow (eat your heart out, Jimmy Page), and the orchestral portions of the latter track.  For cans that tilt towards the low end, both of these tracks are capable of digging really deep.  "Olsen Olsen" has a nicely accentuated kick drum, while "Svefn-g-englar" rumbles like no track I've ever heard with sustained low notes from an organ -- it's also a favorite to listen to in my car, which has a 12" subwoofer.

Actually, I'm starting to agree with you. At first, I was disappointed, then loved them once I heard some electronica. There is something about the Q701's that I love, and something I hate. Maybe it's the bigger soundstage update, and maybe it's the metallic sounding vocals and mids that I can't stand. I'm starting to think a DT990 would have been better....
