    Massdrop Headphones recommendation for metal music

    Hi! My HD58Xs arrived two weeks ago and I wanted to let you know that they are everything I wanted. Thank you all for your recommendations! Especially @kukkurovaca , @Mhog55 , @Cruelhand Luke , @Slaadfax for suggesting the HD58X. :D

    Massdrop Headphones recommendation for metal music

    Apparently, they still have a lot of issues. Couple that with the fact that HD58Xs are easier to drive and the fact that they are a bit cheaper (enough that I won't have to pay customs for them, thanks @audiofil for pointing that out), and I'm going for those. Also, they seem to ship faster...

    Massdrop Headphones recommendation for metal music

    Thank you @all for your help. It really assisted me in my decision and I think I'm still going for the HE4XX.

    Massdrop Headphones recommendation for metal music

    Unfortunately, I couldn't find any impedance rating for my soundcard. The most information I could find is the specs on the Asus website: https://www.asus.com/us/Sound-Cards/Xonar_DS/specifications/ I don't mind buying a decent amp either. I plan on using these headphones only at home with my...

    Massdrop Headphones recommendation for metal music

    Hi folks, I've been following this forum for a while, but only now I got to actually make an account and join this awesome community. As an aspiring audiophile I want to ask which of the Massdrop exclusive headphones do you think I should get for music consumption + computer use. I'm looking...
