First of all, I listen to Metal and Rock so the answer should be easy...but its not. I have a koss ksc50, sennheiser pc150 and a little dot micro+. I love ksc50 but for home use, pc150 is both more comfortable and sound quality seems better. I can say that the pc150 is a colored phone. Darker sound but deep bass and mids seem good also.
I am using this headphone for 2 years and now I want to buy a better one. I loved the sound of sennheiser ( I also love my ksc50's sound) and hd580 was my dream as it was the cheapest sennheiser high end phone. With the dropped price, hd580 is in my affordable list now.
When I read the reviews about hd580 for metal and rock everyone recommends grado/alessandro line. And metal is like the only thing that I listen. Hd 580 feels so right for the price but the reviews make worried.
The detachable cable is a plus for me also, as the most problematic part of a headphone for me is generally the cable. For long time use hd580 seems better for me as I live in Europe and if something happens to the cable I can just buy a new one. On the other hand, I have to send Grado/Alessandro headphones back if something happens to the cable or some other part. Btw, there is no local grado seller where I live so I can buy sr60 or sr80 online and also MS1 is another phone in my price range.
Will it really be a bad choice to buy hd580 for metal and rock?
Thank you
