If you mean Nelly, the rapper from GA I believe, then I will suggest the DT 770s. If you mean Nelly Furtado I will suggest an HD 650 or an SA5000.

if you mean either artist, the correct answer is their songs don't deserve KSC-75s.. and I am being kind.

This is why I don't always like asking for advice on Head-fi. I think a lot of people here grealy dislike Rap and it definitely shows in their preference for bass light ("nuetral") headphones. It almost seems that some people will almost look down on you for listening to a different genre and preferring more bass.

I guess the DT 770-80 would be good for hiphop. You don't really need a midrange for that style of music.

there's nothing wrong with rap, it just happens to be that nelly is an incompetent ******* who thinks having a band-aid on his left cheek is cool and that saying "its getting hot on in here" for 5 minutes straight makes good music.

I don't normally like to criticise other's musical preferences, but you got a really good point there

Something with BASS.

Not that anybody cares ... but Nelly (the rapper) is from St. Louis.

Sorry to waste people's time that had serious recommendation but, I was sorta kidding. I guess my point is, it doesn't really matter.

Trying to "optimize" the sound to a Nelly (or similiar) song reminds me of that scene from Spinal Tap where that guy is taking the crazy guitar solo, starts playing his guitar by strumming it with a vilon (just a bunch of racket at this oint) and he stops a second to tune the violing because it came out of tune!!!

 

[cheechoz]

For Nelly Furtado, I would try the HD600/650, they are the best, IMHO, that I have heard for softer type pop! The K701 is also a super sounding set of cans, that you might find even better sounding than the Senns. I find it a matter of preference between the AKG, and Senns!
