Honestly grados are awesome for metal as everyone always says, metal is about 80% of what i listen to day to day. If your going the sr 80i route youll have no deep bass if thats what youre looking for, the bass is fast, accurate and punchy but i doubt its what youre looking for. Even modded grado sr80is leave alot to be desired in that area. Now, clarity and soundwise they do awesome with metal and rock. As i only own 2 pairs of headphones currently I can only speak for what i know, but I actually like my shure srh840 better than my grado sr80i. The other thing is what your source will be, amped or unamped? grados do fine out of portables as do the shures but they can both use a good dac/amp. Also ill tell you if you need privacy while listening, dont go grado, my wife can hear Meshuggah blaring from the other side of the house with them. As many find grados uncomfortable i dont at all, theyre lightweight and i really dont notice them on my head, but the shures destroy them in that aspect.
Hi !
First , sorry from my "Great" English
My brother has decided he wants a new sets of headphones . He also wants to buy me a new sets of headphones to my birthday . Lucky me I have made some research and have a few options:
I think to get my brother Reloop RHP10 . My brother doesn't need some fancy sennheiser headphones. The problem is , I don't know nothing about this company. In fact I know them only for a few months. Should I get the reloop model or it's better for me to find other model in the same price level ? ( More than 100$ in Israel ). The relevNt music is 98% pop
Now , about the options are relevant for me:
Since 95% of my playlist includes Metal music ( All kind of metal ) , I need to make sure the headphones I 'll get , will be optimal for Metal . The rest 5% includes Jazz , Blues , instrumental music.
1.Sennhieser HD515 - My brother budget should be enough for this model . As much as I know I'll get the most of them only with an Amp ( I know there is a specific forum for Amps but I'll be glad to get some advise regarding a good mid-rNge cost amp). I also searched about amps and found the Fiio E5 in 22$ . I don't want something too big since I 'm going to use the headphones all the time , including outside) .
Gardo SR80 - Heard great things about the sound but also bad things regarding the comfort . My first series headphones were AKG K416P . They were great but the comfort ... Since , I replaced them with Koss Porta Pro , which are great when you're looking for comfort. The sound is good for the headphones value. As much as I know the Gardo are great for metal .
One last thing please : Bass is very important to me , so it will be great to get some advise regarding headphones with dominant bass.
Thank you !
