Currently I've got the DT1990s which I mainly use at the desk, the LCD-R and Verite Closed as dedicated music open and closed backs respectively and the focal Bathys for out and about.

DT1990: Brightside - The Luminiers This is one of those Albums where the slightly bright beyer tuning just absolutely shines. The way the 1990s present vocals also works so well on this album, it honestly seems more natural here than the presentation on the Verite or LCD.

Verite Closed: [Self Titled] - Sir Woman The album is generally well mixed, but the Verite manage to strike such a wonderful balance between punchy powerful percussion and intimate soft vocals that I've not really heard on any other headphone.

LCD-R: Dance Fever - Florence+The Machine Whenever I listen to this album on these Headphones, I'm just blown away at how huge this very "pop-y" album can sound. Everything is also sooo well seperated, the bass is insanely tight and the speed and beauty of the LCD-Rs treble is really highlighted perfectly.

Room for sqares - John Mayer I could not choose just one album for the LCD-R so I'll just mention this one aswell. This can only be described as a detail fiesta. There is so much information here that the LCD-R just present to you with such clarity it is genuinely astonishing. John Mayers earlier songwriting is also quite nice.

Bathys: 30 - Adele Once I eqd out the awful dip at 1k and the overbearing bass, these turned into what I can best describe as a baby Clear. So naturally I absolutely adore female vocals on this headphone. So much detail and emotion comes through, I almost forgtet im using Bluetooth!

Probably a weird one: King - Florence+The Machine

There is no track that is as hard to get right on headphones as this. You get a bass quality and eftension check right at the start, the female vocals throughout expose any flaws in the midrange quite well and the few high hats in the song are separated enough for you to really pay attention to them. The biggest point is state and separation tho. I cant put my finger on why this is the case, but this song needs a decent stage and good separation more than most classical to my ears.
