Which are better for metal? I listen to pretty much all metal so both "pretty" female and growling vocals.    

  I'm curious about this too, anyone?

  Could you please elaborate a little? What do you mean with "dark" sound?

=D. I'm not quite there yet.   Alright, thanks  for your input, much appreciated!   Ok, darnit. Cheers!

  I heard/read that Grado have a particular sound not everybody enjoys, but I guess that is true for every headphone....=) AD900X doesn't seem to be avaliable in Sweden but looks like I can get it from Germany. How are both of these with "badly recorded" music like a lot of metal is?    ...

Hello, I'm new at headfi. :-) Nice thread! I'm looking to buy mid-tier(X2,HD600,Mad Dog,..?) headphones. Which would you recommend? I listen to pretty much everything metal but if I had to pick one style it'd be death metal. You rank the HD600 & X1 as average for death metal. Have you tried...

Hello, I'm new around here. I'm looking to buy new headphones and leave my current M50 at work. The X2 seems like a good choice but I listen mostly to Metal and I haven't seen anyone here talk Metal and X2. Any opinions on the X2 for metal(death/symph/heavy/anything)? Cheers!
