Thanks! Got it. I really like these. They sound super cool, and really comfy. They're huge though lol!

I ended up getting the Samsons and I really dig em. Although I hear crackling sometimes. :/

Quote: They sound perfect. Thank you. I'd stay, but I'm not an expert on audio accessories, so I'd have nothing to contribute to this forum.  Au revoir.

Quote: I do not have a POD.  Then why on earth would small amps have a headphone output? :/ Yeah, I'm aware of that, but I'm not sure if I'll have to share a room or not.    

Quote: I adore Opeth lmao, I'm a huge fan, I saw them on October 1st, and while they didn't play any of the death metal that I love, it was still amazing. I hate their new album though, not because of the lack of death metal influencing, but just because the flow was way off. It was full of...

First, would I be able to hear other people with the samsons?  Secondly, how loud are the vents?

@dsnuts I think you're right. My roommates will get upset. I'm going to try and demo every pair listed, nevertheless. @estreeter Dark Tranquility have the best solos! Dark Tranquility is the only melodeath band I know that has always put out good material. The other ones I know either only...

Is there an upside to having them open?

I appreciate it, all of you.  I'm still undecided, so I'll do more research on all of them and any others that anyone would recommend.
