Yeah. I swore I wouldn't buy anything after my E4s (and as such, have not been here for a over a year) but, upon my return (for all of a day), I've been hit with the upgraditis, and I'm seriously considering SE530s.
Anyway, on to what's important here--what I like from a headphone, and the kinds of music to which I listen. I absolutely love the sound signature of my E4s; I much prefer them to my old E3s. I listen primarily to symphonic metal, strings, and choral stuff. Mostly metal, though, so I'm primarily concerned about getting clear, highs and sparkling upper-mids. Of course, I want the bass to be powerful, but not over-powering.
I'll add more when I get home. Typing this from my phone, and my fingers are fatigued.
I'll also upload a sample of some of the metal I listen to, because it's pretty non-standard.
(And yes, I know that this is horribly generic. Just hoping to get a head start on the advice.)
