Whooo loaded question lol.

So up front stuff first - I listen to a lot of genes, but EDM is my primary at about 40-50% of my overall listening. I also have 16 pairs of headphones from consumer (AirPods), to midrange (660S2) to HiFi (LCD-X), to TOTL (Utopia).

Electronic music absolutely benefits from higher quality headphones. How much is worth spending is a different question.

Personally, I can absolutely tell the difference between different quality headphones. BUT the improvement as you spend more doesn’t have the same value to all, and $1000 isn’t the same hit for all.

If you don’t have the option to test, I recommend trying from a place like Amazon that has a generous return policy.
