I love Maiden, up the irons!Hey, thanks for the terminology!
I am not an audiophile, nor do I tend to be one; I am a hardcore music lover and will stay that forever. But I do like reading stuff (and I love hi-fi gear), and for better understanding, these terms benefit me because the only thing when listening, especially with headphones, is the bass that can shake enjoyment for me. I am focused on the whole and not the details. If the whole works for me, it's fine. And the thing with Sennheiser is that I like how they manage bass! Whatever cans I own from Sennheiser's, I liked the bass. It's always tight and right.
As the new owner of 660S2, I am really, really happy...again. They are not grandiose as HD800s or HD 820...but man...they deliver! And I like to listen pretty loud; that's the reason why in the first place, I started to pay attention to headphones (ok, another reason is that Walkman came out), so I can listen and enjoy and no one bothers me by complaining : )
And with all Sennheisers, the louder I listen, the better it gets
I have only a minor complaint; I wish they were 5 mm wider and 5 mm taller; it would be 10/10 for me. But since it's a perfect fit for my wife...then it is 12/10 for me
Dude...Metallica is not a trash metal band, and how could you not mention Iron Maiden in the first place or even Motorhead (not a metal band, but they could be)? I can understand in the top three Slayer and Pantera, but if you mentioned Metallica, there should be Bruce too! Just poking a bit.
Enjoy!
Cheers!

You got me thinking of Mount Rushmore and metal. Here's mine, what's yours? Everyone chime in, be it any genre. State your genre and your 4 choices.

Metal (in no order): Metallica, Iron Maiden, Slayer, Guns N Roses
Metallica, Iron Maiden, and Slayer were no brainers for me, but the 4th was pretty tough! Lots of amazing bands, but there's one album from one band that rivals all albums from my big 3, that's Appetite for Destruction. I didn't care for everything after that; I didn't hate them, but for me they didn't come close to Appetite, and it hurt because Appetite was SO good! I put Appetite up against anything from the big 3. What was hard though was there's other bands that might not have anything as singularly great as Appetite, but they have a better/larger body of work, IMO. OG Sepultura with Max fronting comes to mind. Judas Priest, Morbid Angel, Exodus, Ozzy, Megadeth, and Black Sabbath also toy with the #4 spot. But Appetite....it's so good....so so good!!!!!!!!
