100+ Head-Fier
In order to hear some details of the music, sometimes listen metal music with my HD 600 instead of my HD-25. I wonder if (in this or that way) this hurts my phones or not? Could you help please?
Love it!Your headphones should be fine. However, this question hurt my IQ.

Thanks people, I just thought since the headphones lowers the distortion using a magnet kind of thing, I thought the harsh music could shorten the life of the mechanical stuff..
Headphones tend to be very robust because the drivers move very little to create a sound which would be perceived as loud. This is because the driver is so close to your ear and is usually acoustically coupled using ear pads.
The drivers in regular dynamic radiating speakers need to move a lot to create a loud sound and so these can be damaged by playing too loud.
The demise of headphones comes usually if they are sat on or get eaten by the dog. If the headphones have a careful owner without a dog then they will last for many many years.
I've always wondered if Metal or Dubstep would destroy my headphones, but if you think about it, the driver vibrations are so quick, having slightly faster, more varied vibrations shouldn't be too much of a stretch.
