I have these headphones. Very good for electronic ive found.

Extreme Isolation EX-29 are good drumming headphones.

Ah ok. Well the RS-1's are a little out of my price range anyway. Thanks anyway.

Kent. Why do you ask?

What the Grado's or the Senns? The Senns had 300+ hours on them.

Sorry i'll change the first post. I'm using computer as source and for the time being my amp and dac will be Pico with DAC. Budget for headphones is about £250. So no more than the 325i's.

Thanks kontai. Ok i will scratch the 701. Forgot to mention budget is £250 or about $400. So the RS-1 and GS-1000 would be too much.

Hi there, i'm looking for some recommendations for some new headphones. I just got back from comparing the Grado SR225 with my Senn HD650s. The CDs i used were both some form of metal as this is the music i mostly listen to. I used... Nile - Ithyphallic Tool - Lateralus The system...

What about the Beyer DT880? Can anyone recommend them for metal?

So it seems the Ultrasone PROline 750s are the way to go for death metal. I will see if i can arrange to try a pair of them aswell. Thanks for your help guys. Also, if anyone else has anything to add or suggest i would greatly appreciate it. Btw, MaloS. Are the Pro 900's much better than...

Thanks a lot MaloS. Really appreciate it. Just a couple of other things if thats ok. Is the 2500 much better than the 750? Is it worth the extra cash in your opinion? Do you know of any other cans worth considering? Or are the 750/2500 really the best for "death metal drumming". Ive...

NiceCans - thanks, i have arranged to try out some 325i's and some 225's tomorrow. MaloS - Are you saying the Grados are no good for drums? Being a drummer myself, the drums is one of the most important things, if not the MOST important thing in the music i listen to. I need cans where you...

I'm stuck in a bit of a dilema here and would really appreciate advice. Just a bit of background info first... I listen almost exclusivley to metal particulary death metal. I listen to almost all my music through my computer. I have a pair of HD650's (i know - maybe not so good for metal)...

Does no one on here know how to spell Dark Tranquillity? Two L's! Anyway, here are a 'few' bands for you to check out. Category:Melodic death metal musical groups - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Over a laptop source? I realise this maybe quite a difficult question to answer, but can anyone describe how much better a pair of HD650's will sound through a Pico w/DAC than through a laptop with intergrated sound. I know the only way i will know for sure is to listen for myself, and i'm...

Excellent, just the replies i was looking for.

So bottom line, is there a USB DAC out there for less than $500 that rivals the pico's DAC?

Just to give people an idea. I am 388 on the list and Justin emailed me on the 1st of March to say my order will be ready in 7-8 weeks.

Thanks mchang. Good read.

Im in the same boat as you mate, so i too would appreciate some advice on this.

Hey thanks everyone. Does anyone know how the Headroom micro DAC compares to the DAC in the Pico? Infact does anyone know any DAC (portable or not) under $500 that compares to the one in the Pico?

Thanks for clearing that up for me guys.

Most of my cd collection is in WAV format. (I ripped my music to wav using EAC) I'm about to convert it to Apple lossless using itunes. I realise that there will be no difference in sound quality as its lossless. But if for some reason i wanted to convert it back to WAV (using iTunes again)...

Hi Justin, 1 Pico with the 24/96 USB DAC All black 1ft USB cable Thanks
