Hello my friend
I have mh1c. i love that but in ear headphones dont fit my ear.
 
i listen metal and rock even classic. so i want to buy a headphone over-ear for comfort. i will use in home, bus, walk etc.( listening with over ear when walking may be weird but i have no choice )
 
End of my research i found 2 headphones:

1) Audio-Technica ATH-M50
 
2) Sony MDR-1R
 
i havent much money and i dont want to buy amfi.
 
i using galaxy s which has a great sound chip.
 
what do you suggest? that headphones or something else?  i heard something about ath-50. it isnt for metal. is that true?
 
 
note: i cant try headphones in store. because i couldnt find in local market.

M50's not for metal? Nah. It's almost perfect for metal in terms of sound sig. A V shaped sound is generally good for metal and rock. 1R sounds more natural and warm, but if you are looking for fun and exciting sound, M50 is likely better for you, but 1R is much more comfortable. They both have pros and cons. Check out my review on M50. Click my reviews on my signature and go to multi heaphone review.

I look at your review about m50. You said not comfortable about m50. Is it really disturbing? Should i buy m50 or something?

It does get hot after about 30 mins. If you don't mind that, they are not too bad. If you swap the pads to HM5 pads, the comfort is decent(1-2 hours of comfortable listening).

If your budget is limited consider the SRH440. For metal/rock, its better than the M50.
