    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    Very cool. That's what I wanted to know. I listen to all genres and types of music these days, but every once in a while, there'll be a hot product that doesn't translate well into "heavy music' which is still my most played kind of music. Just what I wanted to confirm. Thanks man.

    Thanks George. I'm out of the Headfi loop these days and I just wanted to know from a rock/metal perspective if the hype was legit. Apprec!

    Hey guys, looking for a mid tier DAP. fIIo M11 is getting a lot of good reviews. Any thoughts on on this DAP for rock and metal?

    Indeed-We think it's science, but it's also art and there's opinion and subjectivity. It's a hobby as they say-haha

    Lets Talk Metal

    Hey Redcar, I haven't posted here in a long time, but I get this thread sent to my email that I put in a separate folder and go trough it from time time. I always read your posts when I'm here and you gave me some great DM back in the day. Vader! Thought I'd chime in as I've also had the dangest...

    Big shout out to main man, Hansotek. I finally picked up those Periodic Audio Be you reviewed and we talked about-jeez-like last July or something. Really enjoy them. They deliver the speed, detail, and clarity as advertised. Just ordered some Comply ear tips I'm going to play around with...

    Lets Talk Metal

    Hey guys, I haven't been post much here lately, but I still lurk to see what's up. I just posted my top 50 albums of 2017 over at M-F. A little late to the party as I picked up crazy amounts of music over the last few weeks to assimilate. Here's my list sans album writes ups: 50...

    Hansotek, as usual you knocked it out of the park. Remember these posts? I went to Capital Audio Fest today and I was thrilled to see Periodic Audio was attending. I've had those Beryllium in my mind since your post back in July. I went through their line up with my Ipod-just an Ipod, and the...

    Lots of great things to consider. You haven't steered me wrong yet :smile_phones: No doubt, I could be happier with any of them. I actually saw the Shure 846 on the used forum. But, that's higher end than I need to go. I'd love to hear the ISine. Fact is, I can go as high as I want-it's more of...

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    That might be the way to go. I was thinking initially of a DAP to store my music, but the memory card would take care of some of that. A little higher end than I was thinking, but it would solve several audio problems in one fell swoop. It wouldn't limit the kind of HP either. Would that...

    Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution

    You guys are awesome-I'm working from complete ignorance. Here's my issue, I downloaded my entire CD library a couple of years ago which took months, and threw everything on a NAS that I use with SONOS as a transport through a dedicated Nuprime DAC/Pre/HP amp and that is the brains of my two...

    Thanks. What kind of sources were you/do you use with your IEMs. I'm hoping to use them at the gym with an Ipod and at work with a desk amp/DAC. I'm guessing a lot of you guys are using higher end DAPS. Just curious. Also do the the nicer IEMS come with ends for How about amplification for...

    Ah, OK, but you still put a lot of time and effort into your reviews I can tell. Kudos! Is the Beryllium your preference over the other IEMs I've been asking about in that price range (Shure, VModa, etc.)?
