Article: Part 1: Headphone Impressions from A recent “Audiophile Trip” to India

Thank you, Sajid, for the international perspective! Out of curiosity, do you have any well recorded and well performed Indian artists you'd recommend? I'm curious about anything from complex classical music to modern mash-ups or modern "alternative" (for the Indian audience). I suppose I get some of this from British artists but I just thought I'd ask because perhaps you have particular tracks or artists or performances you like for evaluating cans/speakers?

My wife likes Indian music more than I, lol.

 

I grew up mostly in the US, so my test tracks are pretty standard, from rock and pop to indie, jazz, metal, etc. I was a metal head growing up but now listen to everything really, given how different headphones play well with different genres. 

 

I hope it wasn't too presumptuous to think that if you'd travel to India and do a headphone meet up, that you might have some favorites from that "world" to share!

 

As for metal, well, let's not scare everyone here! lol

Odd thing is that well-recorded or produced metal is, like all other genres, just that much better on a good system (or at least a tuned system). Bass lines, kick drums, the whole works...
