I have Grado sr-80s and the high end is just too fucking pronounced for IDM (but they're amazing for jazz and classical).
Thinking of getting some Sennheisers, something with a flatter response, so my eardrums don't get shredded listening to the likes of Autechre. Any suggestions?

Beyerdynamic DT770 Pros are very very good. Flat freq response, light, closed (but not boxy). Recommended. I use a pair now.

I'd rather have a few 15in. subwoofers and some good tweeters. I like to "feel" the music...

The Beyers sound interesting... I like the fact that they are a closed design. Now that I'm married I'm more interested than ever in blocking out the world. :-)

i use Koss for all the music i listen to - IDM, experimental rock, hip-hop, classical, pop, etc. it's a great all-around pair of headphones. for IDM it does the job, for more bass heavy stuff like jungle it could be better.

i´ve got a question about this though...
i´ve got a sony D-EJ925 discman, and some high-fidelity Technics RP-F290 headphones. i´ve tried A LOT of headphones on my cd walkman, but the highest volume sometimes isn´t high enough...Is it the walkman or the cans??

I'm quite happy with my Sony MDR-7506 stereo monitor headphones. Great bass, great dynamic range, crisp sound...made well. They look nice too.

its the amplifyer in your discman.... it just cant supply enough power to your head phones... try plugging them into your serio system and see the difference

Larger headphones will need a lot more power than tiny earbuds. Larger phones like the Beyer have a higher impedance than you standard issue walkman phones, so you won't be able to get a decent level using a walkman. It'll sap the batteries too.
The DT770s are great pro headphones, but they do weigh in at a pro price too - £100. Ace bass though - listening to Flim and CTD (LLF Mix) really do vibrate your whole head. :-)

This site is the reason I ended up getting the sr-80s:
http://www.goodcans.com/HeadphoneReviews/recommendations.ht m
In the store they sounded awesome with classical music... it was only when I got them home and listened to some Autechre and Slayer that I found they were peaky in the highs.
Next time I pass by an audio store I'm going to see if they have the Senn 580/590 and the Beyers in stock.

i got sony mdr-v700 headphones. i wouldnt say that they are much better than others, but they look really cool. they were quite expensive.
Sennheiser tend to be very reliable tho.
