You with your HD800s, lasers and details.  facepalm

Take a KSC75 Kossinator as a starting point. Works like a charm.  :)p8

You know, I have one simple request. And that is to have headphones with frickin' laser beams attached to the cans.

Jazz.. it recovers a large range of music..... what are we talking about here ? Diana Krall or Cecil Taylor? Old 50s Hardbop/bebop or modern Fusion ? European contemporary Jazz or Frank Sinatra ? Sun ra Orchestra or Keith Jarret solos ?


Agreed - Let's start with two camps. Vocal Jazz (insert your favorite, well recorded vocalist here :-[) and something like Możdżer Danielsson Fresco #t=2295

How would you set the preference for mids lows and highs for each. Would vocalists get more priority on mids? Would acoustic Jazz require the same attributes or would one want a bit more extension in highs and more soundstage?

Is this a headphone question or a mastering question?

I mean, what would you like your ideal headphones to excel at when listening to different kinds of jazz. It's like prioritizing what you think the headphones should sound like.
