Hey! I was wondering if you could reccomend a quality pair of IEMs. I'm a big metal listener (all sub-genres), so I would like a decent-high bass capability, really clear and crisp sounds (i.e. I can hear every note and it comes out great). A degree of noise-cancellation would be welcome as...

True, but if you give a listen to 1,000 Suns, they became a tad too radio rock. While the group went with a welcomed change, the overall tone, as well as the singing styles, left. Personally, I would have been fine if they reverted to their EP sound, but with the same thoughts and outlooks...

Okay, thanks! Because of the nature of my music, I usually keep the volume lowest anyway.

I'm currently going through Soulfly's debut album, Dark Ages, and Omen simultaniously.

anyone enjoy Lamb of God, Celtic Frost, or Children of Bodom? I find all of them to have great instrumental talent. As to the above on folk metal, I have moderate taste for them. MoonSorrow is okay. It just tens to bug me in general when bands go too far into the folk genre without...

Agreed. I'm all fine for the angst music in Jr.high-High school, but after that, it's time to grow up. I can't stand seeing Korn perform anymore without laughing at the fact that they still pump out the same music.

I'm looking for a great pair of earbuds/headphones that can play metal (bands such as Lamb of God, Soulfly, 36 Crazyfists, and Children of Bodom) with good quality.   I live in an area that connects to park regions that allow me to walk, hike, or bike through, with rare, but existent...

I absolutely hate "metal" bands such as Linkin Park, disturbed, Korn,  etc. Nu-metal oversaturated the market and forced good, talent-required metal along with crap metal into the same boat. I also hate the screamo/emo genre that has risen up over the years because of its sheer talentless...
