Say you blew a bunch of $$$ on headphones.. what's the first track you listen to?

[zoo]

First thing I did when I copped my ATH-M50s was create a playlist of tracks I knew sounded mind blowing, perfectly mastered, multi-layered instrumentation etc.. Trying to test 'em out.

The first track that came on was 'We'll Be Fine' by Drake, not one of my favorites but that bass is



What about y'all? What tracks had you with the face?

If I wanted to bust my eardrums due to deafening bass, this:

Take a pick my friend:



[ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2m2K0CD0UQI"]Cam'Ron - Get 'Em Girls - YouTube[/ame]

To properly test the sound I would listen to more than one derivative/era though.
But because you said only one track I'll stop and say one of those.

But I think I may need more time to make a selection. You gotta gimme a landscape or scenario.

If it is summer and hot as fukk out side I likely wont bump no Mobb Deep...Winter...probably TONY, or Animal Instinct is my first choice.

Some good suggestions. I had these on my list too:

Kendrick - Cartoons & Cereal
A$AP Rocky - Palace
Kanye - Late Registration
The Weeknd's discography

damn I know those M50s treating you well. I copped the Samson SR850, they are very comparable to the M50s at a fraction of the price and those headphones after some burn time in them became . Thats the amazing thing about great headphones is they are like wine and get better with age. The more you use them the better the sound gets. And that was a great choice of song, Listening to Take Care and House of Balloons on them headphones is so amazing. If I were a true audiophile I wouldnt even fukk with mp3s, but thats too much work.

Heatmakerz and their bass filled high hats

All I can say is it'd probably have to be a Heatmakerz or Just Blaze track

Never heard of the SR850s, just peeped 'em on Amazon, not the nicest looking but reviews look good and yeah I don't even pretend to understand burn in but I love the fact that they improve instead of deteriorate.

I copped a FLAC rip of Take Care, it sounds crazy.. can't wait til Weeknd drops the remastered Trilogy

Jay Elec's Exhibit A and Exhibit C were both on there.. I put the EPs on and even listened to the instrumentals all the way through like

For Can Ox I had Pigeon FLAC rip.. that track never fails to give me chills

Exhibit C...great choice. Man the last 30 or so seconds of Ridiculoid = eargasm with good headphones.

On the lows though...Smashin Pumpkins - Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness would get a full run through. I got that flac and its
