Simple and Clean is just heavenly on the T1 and HE500.
 
 


Me too! Awaiting KH3 for the new gen. Squeenix is killin' me with the delay in any news about it. And I hope Utada composes another song.
 
OK, enough being OT, I'll make a recommendation for this thread: "Excuses" by Bibio from their album Mind Bokeh. Truly what the title of the album suggests. It's musical but sorta in the same sense when a photographer achieves creamy bokeh. Makes me think of a darker but chillier version of Animal Collective. This is from the HD650, late at night and in dim or no lightning. Ear candy.

Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Massive Attack - Teardrop
Van Halen - Eruption

I second that. Absolute must listen on these phones. I remember when I listed to them for the first time 10 years ago and was totally blown away by the sounds. Nothing else out there can get close.
 
PS: Nice little screen setup you got you there (profile pic)

Pretty much anything by Afrojack will make the bass skull-shattering from Ultrasone HFI-580s. If I'm feeling really adventurous, I'll throw on the Fiio e7 bass boost or the boost switch on the cmoybb. Makes for a fun listen, and gives all the Beats fans who brag about their "insane bass" something to think about :D
