... you might be way better off going with "earspeakers" instead of headphones. I love my AKG K1000 earspeakers but they are no longer being made. Stax sells a line of electrostatic earspeakers and Oskar Heil ERGO AMT ("air motion transformer") earspeakers are still being sold. And did you know that when using earspeakers, you can always run them with a subwoofer just as you might do if you were using minimonitor loudspeakers? You'll get much deeper, better, and more realistic "out of the head" bass that way.
