Yeah, grados aren't ideal for michael.

Stax Lambda Signature via the SRM-T1 amp. Pure awesomeness with MJ's music.

yeah, I already learned that the hard way

was just thinking since the DT-990 is described as being a bright hp as well, its interesting to hear that quality described as the primary reason for it being "good with MJ's music"

Oh come on! Bass is very important on MJ songs, and that completely rules out K701s!
(Personally, while I might play MJ on speakers just to dance to, I would never listen to his stuff on headphones.)

Stax, plain and simple. When I first listened to MJ on my SRS-005A set, it made my cry. The good way.

Being an American he should have become a lawyer,then he could have screwed everyone.

Any headphone in my signature would go with MJ.

Probably the Stax SR-007BL.
The K1000 do a really nice job as well, but not quite there...

 

[donunus]

when I had the k701s, I had to use it with my integrated amp with the bass control boosted by 4 db to get some decent sound out of them. My ad700s although it doesnt have more bass than the k701s sound fine with no bass boost

Micheal isn't my favourite, but his music is a ton better than the pop now'a'days. No matter how bad the lyrics are, how can you hate "Beat It"?

I'm thinking denons or some beyers, maybe even hd650.
