Been reading up a bit on different audio files and how to get the most out of my music. I've read multiple discussions about Lossy vs Lossless and now to get more to the point as the title says, is there any point converting files from AAC to Lossless?   I read that doing this wouldn't provide...

Unanimous if favour if the MDR-1, I was leaning towards that one as well. Thanks for the help guys! :)

Can't choose between the Momentum, MDR-1R or M-100. I need a good portable headphone, that sounds good with metal/hardcore (I'll link examples of the main kinds of music I listen to). I use my 160GB iPod Classic (AAC files) and I do not have an amp yet, but I plan on getting a Fiio E7.   I...

Alright man, thanks for the help. I guess it'll come down to which of the two I can find a better deal on. Unless you have a good final reason or two why one is better than the other!

Those DUNUs don't seem too bad for wearing with a beanie (I'm mostly getting IEMs in preparation for Winter haha) either, how do they sound compared to the PL50s?

How good are the PL50s for hardcore?

I'm looking to buy an inexpensive (less than $100) pair if IEMs, I listen mostly to metal, hardcore and melodic hardcore. Also, if there is a particular thread I should be posting this, please give a link. I also plan on mostly using these for walking in the Winter, so it'd be good if they were...

Quote: The MDR-1 and M-100 looks really awesome, I'll have to hold out until I read some reviews on them. Any idea what the prices on them are yet?

Been looking for some good portable headphones, I've been recommended AKG K550 and Sony MDR-Z1000. I listen to hardcore/metal on AAC files, hopefully getting a Fiio E7 soon. Can anyone tell me how the Momentum compares?

Quote: Hahaha, I mean like metal/hardcore

Are these good for heavier music?

Could anyone give a music genre recommendation for these headphones?

I've read that post and some of the people commenting seem to have them. Based on what they've said, I think they'd be good for me, just thought I'd post here and see what others say. Thanks for the response again haha.

I've posted the exact same thing here a few times before, but now that the Sennheiser Momentum is out, I'm wondering how well it suits my needs. So here it is again:   Hey! I'm looking for a good pair of closed over-ear headphones under $500. I listen to mostly hardcore/metal, but a lot of...

Any idea how these compare to the Sennheiser HD 558? They are the only good headphones I've ever listened to, which is why I'm choosing them for comparison. Or if someone could tell me how good the Momentum would be for heavy music.
