maybe try a m50, or d2000. i personally loved my metal with 325I
I have no idea why so many metal fans also enjoy electronic, but basically there's no headphone that caters to both. You're going to have to sacrifice.
What i realised was that alot of the reviews/recommendations were from classical/jazz listeners - Cant say ive ever enjoyed jazz or classical in my life, im a total basshead and thrive for that aggression, i listen to alot of Death core, Melodic, Death metal as well as Dirty dubstep & electronic music, lightest i listen to would be rock such as Breaking Benjamin etc.
So ive decided to purchase the Ultrasone Pro 900s just 2 weeks till they will be on my ears It was a tossup between the Denons AH D2000's and Ultrasone Pro 900's but i can Kees mod the Sones - when i decide to upgrade my cans it will most likely be to D7000s.
If you're going to limit your amp to $100, then go for the Fiio E7. I think it will hold back the PRO900, but it's the best you're going to get for that price.
Spend a bit more and get an audinst hud-mx1 or zerodac atleast
That is true, can you please explain what a DAC actually does, i know it converts digital to analog, but how does that actually effect the music? What exactly does a DAC improve, sound wise?
As far as your amp dilemma goes, wait and see how you like the sound of the 900s (after burn-in) straight from your computer/from your iPod. If you feel like there's something missing, you want more volume or more bass, then consider getting an amp. If there's a lot of hiss, background noise, or **** gets fuzzy/crackly during really complex passages (like mine does in Daylight Dies by KSE, when Howard is singing and there's double bass AND a guitar solo), then you need a DAC. Otherwise, don't waste money.
