It's the right song yes ! Another of the same composer (A.R. Rahman) is the first song of the soundtrack of Inside Man (http://bit.ly/b0NIxI). It's really impressive on 5.1, percussions and bass are really powerful. It's not that impressive through a balanced headphone like my Sennheiser HD280Pro, I don't know how it sounds on the P5. The more you talk about it, the more I want to order it. The only thing that stops me for instance, is following customer review on the mentionned store.apple.com/uk : "But, and this is a big one for me, the headband is small so if you have a slightly larger head like myself then they are a uncomfortable to wear for prolong periods since it does not sit nicely on top if you want your ears to be properly covered. This is a real shame since it would have gotten the five stars which it no doubt deserves. Alas, if only they made the headband bigger. I recommend you try them on first before rushing to buy." Do you confirm this ? I don't want you to reveal the whole world if you rather have a large or small head, but I would be interested to know how it fits ;-) I rather have a large head.

I'm listening everything, but I'm not sure that you would find deep bass in rock. Take a look here http://www.ninjatune.net/bonobo/eflyer.php there's a free track, it's kind of dub/drum&bass I've already tried recently the Monster Beat Dr Dre Solo headphone, I was extremely dissappointed, it's fuzzy, there are no medium, only bass, and so were the V-Moda for iPhone, I've bought them, and sold them immediately... You can also listen to the first track of the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack, or to Big Blue Ball of Peter Gabriel (or any of his latest album, he's does a pretty well balanced music in term of sound).

Hi ! I'm also very interessed in this headphone, but I haven't seen it anywere live, thus no way to test it before to buy, and I've already been so much dissappointed by headphones that I'm a bit scared, it's not really a cheap one... You said it has a flat sound, that's good, but when you listen to music with deep bass or powerful medium, does it reproduce properly ? Is it well closed ? Does it isolate from surrounding noise a bit or not at all ? Have you already tried the Apple earphones (normal and in-ear), Koss PortaPro, Sennheiser HD280 Pro as well for my comparison ? Is it as strong as it looks ? It gives an impression of solidity on the pictures I've seen, as the Koss PortaPro does. Thanks ! sgrienen
