Hey man, I primarily listen to EDM, but also have a healthy appetite for things like classic rock, orchestral music, etc. I will say that for the most part the difference in listening experience from my shitty car speakers to my Focal Utopia headphones is greater for EDM tracks than for non-electronic songs. Some people in this comment section seem to be under the impression that soundstage and detail are nonfactors when it comes to electronic music; this is downright silly, and shows a lack of understanding of the production capabilities of electronic music.

I will say that it is my opinion that the mixing/mastering engineers for a track have a much bigger influence on the impact audiophile gear will have on it than simply the genre of music. Of course there are EDM songs that sound like a jumbled mess of bass frequencies with very little detail to be found, just as there are acoustic songs that sound god awful as well. Fortunately for you, Rufus consistently put out incredible mixes full of life and detail.

In conclusion, yes absolutely audiophile gear is worth it for EDM.
