Dear Head-Fiers,
I'm looking for an all-round headphone that will see use in music, movies and gaming.
I was previously considering a DT880 paired with a tube amp but now I've read that headphones like the DT880, HD600 and HD650 are only good for classical and jazz, and are not in the slightest suited for rock/metal.
I know that for rock/metal most head-fiers will recommend me a pair of Grado headphones, but I'm afraid of discomfort and too much colored sound. I surely want to use the headphones for other genres besides rock/metal but I don't want them to suffer on rock/metal either.
I read that the Mad Dog sounds alot like the Audeze LCD-2 and that the Audeze handles rock pretty well.
So my question is: "What would be the best all-round headphone that doesn't suffer at rock/metal, from the ones listed above?"
