In Reply to: RE: Headphones that image like speakers posted by Dawnrazor on October 02, 2011 at 21:58:42
Read about some of the best imagers in the headphone market today. Three of them have planar magnetic drivers, two have electrostatic drivers, and one has dynamic drivers. Surprisngly, the best imaging of the bunch comes from the dynamic design...

the Senns seemed to be the best imagers but Jon L now says they are the headphone in the head experience.
So maybe I am chasing after something that headphones just wont do?

... 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.
