Are these a good choice for classical music?

There not awful, these are more for bassy music, if you want something for classical i would look for sol republic headphones

Absolutely! I listen to classical all the time with them! Best headphones i've ever owned.

Absolutely! These are hands down the best headphones under $400 easy.. You will find yourself listening to them just as much.

Yes, and actually the sound isn't bad. If you're a real audiophile you won't like it. I'm sure, but for ordinary use they're just fine.

They are perfect just for that. You will be able to hear music in real time real form. There are head phones that add extra bass and things of that nature but these headphones don't do that so if that's what you're expecting than I wouldn't suggest to purchase them. I even use these headphones to listen to music on other devices because you hear sounds and characteristics in music you wouldn't hear otherwise. Perfect for studio use whether home or professional.

Certainly-depending on how critical or how much of an audiophile you are. That is what I use them for-music through a receiver. They are not of Klipsh quality, but are fine as far as I am concerned.

I would think so. I bought them to fill the space. We use an ipod and an amp and they sound great. I doubt you can get better sound for the price.

I have listened to both on these headphones, and I believe the answer is yes. Mid-range is very good and they also carry enough bass and high tones for individual instruments to be heard well.

I've used them for music basically, but from my perspective they will be great for movies since the sounds are crisp clear. Just don't expect tons of bass since they are designed for real sound (not like Beats). These make audible things you don't hear with cheap headphones!!

I bought them for my PC great sound and you can get it very loud. So I would say yes, the sound quality is great!

Sorry, I'm not a gamer. The sound is excellent with all sorts of music, including very loud and very full such as a large orchestras playing very loudly with crashing percussion, so my best guess would be they would be good for gaming too. They don't have a separate bass which some other sets have, so (again I'm guessing) if you're looking for really loud thumps and things like that, a set with a separate bass may better achieve it. Hopefully a gamer will chime in.

I think the jazz & classical will sound pure with these; if you want tangible bass though, this is not the headphones for you.

These are very good for music, with reasonable bass (you may want to adjust the player settings to get high bass).

I would say not. I think you'll find them ideal for a room that size. As with all speakers (and other audio equipment), your ears will be the final judge. So, as with wine, the saying is (something like) "don't let anyone tell you what you're supposed to like."

I think they would be perfect for ambient music! You will of course need a multi channel receiver to use them all.

These are excellent general headphones. I am still discovering their qualities and I like them a lot. Listening is a subjective experience and in all honesty at the moment I enjoy electronic music more on my Fostex TH900 which I bought at the same time. The HD800 however are much better for classical music than the fostex.

They have very good treble and mid-range, bass is not so strong but fairly enough, depends on how you fit them in your system, they should be a good match.

I think so, but if you are making copies of classical music, or something that requires exceptional sound quality, you may not like the results. I made copies of tapes to enter into my ipod and the sound quality if okay
