    Hi head-fiers. I am in a search for crisp sounding headphones with a brutal soundstage. ATH M50 vs Somic Efi-82 Mt vs Superlux HD-681EVO vs Sony Mdr-1r are some of the models I've been considering. Can you help me which one to choose or propose another model ?

    Thoughts on the Sony MDR-1R?

    Can anyone compare to something like the XBA-3? Does it have bigger soundstage and bass than the 3's? I have the XBA-3's and the only reason I would consider these is for more bass and a bigger soundstage, considering its a full size it "should" right?

    Best closed-back Headphones for metal?

    As stated in the title, I want a closed set specifically for listening to metal. I have a budget of around 300 dollars. I need a set that doesn't require an amp, and is comfortable. I'll be using them a lot, so comfort is a big issue.

    Headphones and comfort.
