Thank you for the write up and impressions, it really helps.

In my case, i listen alot to soundtracks, vocal heavy like Enya, Sarah Brightman, indie, some melancholic ambient stuff.

For this reason I believe having a headphone that pushes vocals forwards like the 650, for that intimate presentation, and another headphone like the 800s for the soundstage and "ethereal" feeling it would give my darker indie and ambient stuff would be nice.

However, the bass presentation on the X could be absolutely welcome for the drumming present in metal such as Tool.

I noticed l that, for my tastes, imaging actually helps metal as much as bass extension because it makes the drums feel "right over there".

You see... this is why I lean at having the 650 and the 800s later, with the X being that wildcard that could be extremely good for metal.

Anyways, thank you so much for the talk, I enjoy talking about this stuff.

What do you listen to?
