You also need to consider what it is you are listening to in the first place. What I mean is, I wouldn't be ripping Youtube videos of their mp3's and expect to feel as though you're sat in the middle of the Royal Albert hall after spending shit tons on headphones. Not sure what your average listener uses these days but Flac was good(or lostless if putting said files on an Iphone). I don't know, my ears are not trained for top end stuff(where the money spent counts). These people can tune a guitar by looking at it without downloading apps. I've got over ears that are £150, and buds at £50, both not too much. Both sound the same(to me). What I'm getting at is the source of the music(ie, is it mp3, mp whatever, studio, flac....). Goes a long way. I'm no music guru but you'd be surprised how many people think a sound is a sound.
