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.- markm1

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!- markm1

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?- markm1

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...- markm1

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...- markm1

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...- markm1

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...- markm1

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...- markm1

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...- markm1

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.)?- markm1

Great reviews Hasotek. Your blog looks great. I couldn't find Periodic Beryllium for sale on Amazon. I was curious if they're not being widely distributed at this point. Figured, you'd probably know the status.- markm1

Have you heard the 215 by chance? On their Amazon 425 page of the 425, a couple of the reviewers said that they liked them, but the improvements from the 215 was marginal and might not be worth the money. I'd like a bit more resolution overall and extension in the highs-their description sounds...- markm1

It's good to have a metalhead give the thumbs up. I saw it was on Jude's IEM Buying Guide, but I always want to know how these recommended products are with "our music"-so thanks for that.- markm1

Thanks guys for the IEM rec's. Great stuff. I'm going to throw it into a file and revisit some of these guys. This fall, here in the D.C. area we have The Capital Audio Fest-hopefully they'll be some of the companies there.- markm1

I've been enjoying my Shure SE215 more than I thought it would. Coming from Hifman's RE-400 and then Etymotic hf5 (which I liked quite a bit for the detail and clarity), these guys have more bass presence, a warmer sound sig and recessed highs-normally not a good thing, but it makes this little...- markm1

For two grand they better be-holy crap! I'm not spending over $150 or so. I don't see using IEMs for dedicated listening and don't really like IEMs (things sticking in my ear canal isn't my favorite) other than utility when I'm at the gym, etc.- markm1

I tend to go through $100'ish IEMs mostly for going to the gym and yard work. I tend to trash them and should probably get something under $50 for yard work, where I'm hopping over split rail fences, hauling leaves and sometimes they get ripped out of my ears (those damn thorn bushes) and...- markm1

Hey guys, I dropped off the grid when Headfi went offline. My log-in or PW wasn't recognized. Just reset my PW and I look forward to catching up on the metal discussion. New metal for me has been Loss, Nokturnal Mortum, Sabbath Assembly, Solstafir, Havukruunu, Ungfell, Ruins of Beverast and...
