@Hansotek - Have you listened to the Denon AH-D7200 or the Bowers & Wilkins P9? I can get the P9 for about $650-700, so I'm curious if you think it's a good deal at that price point.
Happy to hear that about the Vali, as I was able to get in on the last Massdrop on them. Not supposed to get them until next month some time though.I have not heard either one, but I did finally get a chance to listen to a couple things people have been asking about in this thread recently at the Minneapolis meet today.
First I'll start with the Kennerton Vali. Short story is it is really, really good with metal. It definitely has some noticeable coloration to it. The timbre doesn't sound completely natural to me, so it's not going to be totally transparent, but the tone is very good and musical. Impact is snappy and powerful and the upper midrange has a nice lift to it that really sounds awesome with guitars.
I also heard the iFi iDSD Micro Black Label, which really impressed me. I'm borrowing it for a couple weeks to compare to the Mojo. We'll see how the comparison shakes out.
I also got another chance to hear a modded HE-6 on the Wells Milo... really awesome synergy between those two. I was absolutely blasting metal through them and it's a really tough combo to beat.
Those Kennertons look pretty metal!
@Hansotek - What's the verdict on the ifi BL vs the Mojo?
This is the metal thread, no?
I do think that this is something to remember for all metal fans. No matter how big of a metal fan you are, you will agree on which sounds better.
This is actually the thread for discussing headphones for metal. The metal music discussion thread is this one .
