My new mobile setup (Fiio BTR5 + Periodic Audio Be)
New to Head-Fi posting but I enjoy the Audeze LCD-2 classics with extreme metal. I tried the ZMF Aeolus at CanJam So Cal last year and those were excellent with death metal and doom metal in particular.
I’m also looking for good IEMs for metal. I tried the Periodic Audio Be IEMs and they were good, but the non replaceable cable is a deal breaker for me at that price...

I like sundara very much is some middle way betweeen 4xx and susvara ...Hey everyone. It's been a while.
Looking for some recommendations. I pared my collection down, but now I'm back looking for a new pair of headphones. I currently have the Hifiman HE4XX with ZMF pads, but I'm looking to upgrade.
I know I can get a an Ether Open V1 for about $400- 450. Is there anything cheaper that would be a definite upgrade over the HE4XX? Maybe a Hifiman Sundara?

HD58X
Really?
I might have to check them out. They look comfortable as well. Have you tried gaming with them, by chance?
I actually don’t like the stock 58x for metal. Was too shouty. But then I swapped on Brainwavz hybrid angled pads and now Im happy with them. People need to try the AKG K371. Those are really good too.Yes I'm not joking and I'm surprised that nobody is talking about the HD58X here. I bought them in December and my pair was made in Romania. I don't know if they have changed something since they have started to manufacture the HD58X in Romania but I like them better than the HD6XX, HD660s and HD600 with Metal music. Actually, I got rid of my pair of HD6XX after hearing the HD58X. To my ears, the bass of the HD58X is faster and is better extended than the HD6XX. I'm sure that a lot people still prefer the warm sound of the HD6XX but I just found the HD58X more fun. For someone who only listening to vocal or acoustic music I would probably recommend the HD6XX but for Metal/Prog I prefer the HD58X. I'm only using the ZMF Aeolus when I'm at home, but the HD58X are perfect for the office.
Regarding your question about gaming with the HD58X, I'm not really a gamer so it's a bit hard for me to answer your question.
The ZMF Aeolus are very good with Metal music
Why would you want to replace the cable on the Be? BTW, you can purchase a brand new pair of Be for only $179. (The discount code is BESTOF2019)
