Can you elaborate?

Do you mean emotional / analytical?

Based on his recent Utopia review, he probably means brighter and technical vs. slightly darker yet tonally precise.

And to answer, yes, I can appreciate both. I think that most tend to gravitate toward one or the other, and it also depends on what chain one is running; some like brighter headphones with warmer gear and vice versa. Obviously, it's fun to explore both if budget allows.

I couldn't live without at least two different voicing. I do this with tubes or two amps. Always the same headphone unfortunately. Can't break free from the HD650.

My speaker system with the L55s sounds virtually opposite to my HE6 on the same chain - L55s are rich, lush, and thick, HE6 is lean, tight, and athletic. There's a reason I have 13 pairs of headphones...

For me it depends on the time of the day. Generally at night I want relaxing or laid back sound signature however in morning I want fast, detailed sound

@E_Schaaf and the reason be insanity. ;)

At a certain point in life—either upon reaching mature adulthood or after taking microeconomics—one comes to understand how very many disagreements are but catalogs of the trade-offs involved. A Yiddish expression aptly sums up the predicament: "You can't dance at two weddings at the same time with one tuchus."

Oh hell yes. Pop, hip-hop, funk, some classical - needs slam & speed, reasonable tonal accuracy. Acoustic, less boisterous classical, Sinatra, jazz - timbre becomes much more important, plankton is appreciated. For me, anyway.

Different headphones, like different glassware for liquor, serve different purposes. Select each for which brings you the most pleasure.
