Hello guys, considering the raven or the Rn6 to pair with a DX320 max Ti; which one of these two IEMs would you say is the best for metal music (power, symphonic metal) exclusively?

Both would do the justice quite well, but Raven would be a more qualified option imo.

For metal Raven, Trifecta and XE6 are the best currently available imo.

Raven sounds more like Trifecta a bright signature. XE6 is much warmer with more bass then the other two.
I also like Fourte Blanc with metal amazing bass, little recessed mids and great highs with a lot of details and never fatigue.
Multiverse Mentor is also great with metal it has amazing bass for an BA and so so holograhic with great analog like mids. UMs mids are the best.

Thanks a lot for your feedbacks guys, will probably go for the Raven when the time comes

It is quite controversial, there are still Anni23 who play metal in my opinion better than Raven and even more so XE6

Interested I never heared it. Maybe Grand Maestro is maybe the best who knows. Or Storm. We must have all of them hehe

I find Anni23's bass is not textured enough to do bass heavy genres like metal justice, its mid-bass amplitude is perfect though.

I agree, the bass could be better, but there are no perfect headphones.But they have some of the best high ones.And the headphones themselves are dynamic, driving and evil in a good way.Although many people note that Anni23 likes power, maybe the more power the better the bass

In terms of bass, one of the best, there is also Fei Wan, they also have a cool bass, by the way, they are also a great option for metal

Raven is great for metal but it's quite engaging so it'll be a tiny bit more fatiguing in the long run. Rn6 can play forever and I doubt I'll have enough, but sometimes you might wish for that 1% to take you over the edge

Jack has really caused confusion with his different faceplates.
Apparently many people think that only the launch edition with the satin finish is a v2 and has the new sound tuning. But that is not the case. A Launch Edition with a glossy finish can also have the v2 tuning. There are still around 140 glossy finish units in circulation, some of which are v2s like the one I received from EE in mid-December after I returned my v1 in October.

They changed the vendor during they make the exchanges from v1 to v2:

To clarify, was it a retune or did the measures taken to reinforce the IEM or new finish cause a slight difference in sound?

Regarding the sound tuning it's nuanced and has nothing cause with the faceplates:

I don't hear such a difference in bass of my old v1 vs the new v2. I more think they changed something in the mids my new v2 sounds a bit smoother there not so shouty in the presence area. But it's not a direct comparison there are 2 months between v1 and v2 I think no one compared it side by side yet?

No, Jack said there was no retuning. Simply -maybe- a slight change in sound due to the modified v2 shell. Nothing to do with the faceplate at all... that was only a cosmetic change.

I have read many times that Raven is quite sensitive to changes in tips and cables which I think is good as it means it has a decent range of adjustment, but there is another constant that I see repeated, the Raven sound is often mentioned as bright signature, I'm thinking of purchasing a Raven since I loved Odyssey, but bright signatures are not my cup of tea, can anyone shed some light on the subject??

I always thought Raven would be a little less warm than Odyssey but not to the point of being a bright signature
