To be fair to dub step, at least it isn't 'funeral doom'. Dear God, can you imagine what that must sound like?

 
It sounds like this!
 

 
Note: this album is amazing.

What I expected... slowed-down Doom Metal. Not bad, actually, for its genre.
 
I added the album to my Spotify "Albums for Review" playlist - thanks for the recco. I couldn't find it on TIDAL, which seems to be a recurring theme, and I'm about ready to drop TIDAL.

The D600 has its bass region accented. Electronic music, pop, hiphop, edm, dubstep, house will sound balanced. Jazz and classical will sound a bit too romantic, bass will need to be turned down.

I listen to a lot of electronic music and the 650s are really good for top quality productions, but you miss a lot of the impact from the bass region. I still really like the 650s bass though. If it came down to only affording one, stick with 650s.

For sure! Appreciate the input

I once saw a post somewhere with a list of heavy metal sub-genres. There were hundreds. Here's a Wiki list but I'm sure there are more. Not in my opinion mind. I'm not really into defining music so precisely and most of what I listen to I wouldn't like to define. When people ask me what kind of music I prefer I just say "good music" and leave it at that.

HOLY crap..

I actually don't mind some of that music either, it's just the categorisation that bugs me. Oomph were (are) part of the New German Hardness bandwagon and their music is almost always melodic toe-tapping kind of stuff. The album Monster is also recorded very well. Listen to it in a system with subs and be blown away. One of the real positives of this modern metal is that the bands have discovered the bass end of the sound. Try this...
 

 
There's also Megaherz. Again, their music is generally melodic, if slightly darker in both content and context. Great stuff though with, certainly on this track, a terrific chorus...
 

 
And there's also Eisbrecher. Their music is very much influenced by dance music sounds. Multiple keyboard layers and a pronounced drum backbeat being a defining characteristic...
 

 
In true heavy metal style a lot of the players in these bands have been members in each others bands too so sometimes you'll hear the same vocals or guitars. I don't know if they've fallen out or left because of 'musical differences' but it's been happening since Judas Priest & Iron Maiden. Why change a winning formula.
 
Here's one for the oldies (me). Aye, it's Lemmy...
 

 
And the strange thing is that they all have proper, grown-up production. Most of this stuff sounds excellent on the HD 650 and really dispel the veil myth in my opinion.

Wait did someone actually say that the HD600s have more bass than the 650s??

A out of topic question, what's the closest IEM soundsig-wise to the HD650?
 
Thanks!

IME, the CustomArt Harmony 8 (non-Pro version).. it's a custom IEM, though.

There is a shop selling the hd650 with a massive discount. Should I buy it considering I have a HD800?

Thanks, it's a little bit pricey for my taste though. I would rather prefer a universal IEM.

Sorry for this but... when you guys mentioned dubstep... I couldn't help but think of this video

If you love the 800, I'd say no. If you think it's thin and bright I'd say yes.

Something like that, somewhere.
