I mean older death metal, which is one thing I've been listening to a lot lately. I tend to go through months-long genre switches. These days, it's the inestimable UK band Bolt Thrower. They're so good, I'm still going after 20 years of listening to them. Another thing I've heard said over various forums regarding guitars is that if you get used to a given distorted guitar sound on lesser headphones, which reproduce sonic textures that are overly harsh (i.e. harsher than the recordings actually are), then going to better headphones can give you the feeling that the guitars have become tamer. This may be true of other genres that don't feature distortion, but it seems especially the case in music like metal, where harshness can be an aesthetic virtue. Metal guitars after all are kind of like modulatable broadband noise generators. And I definitely did a lot of listening (years) on $15 IEMs before I figured out I could do better.
OK.... Well you wont catch me listening to that at all... not my cup of tea... heaviest I listen to is Foo Fighters
I think I now see the issue why this pair was returned. It has what appears to be a crack on the right side of the headband, the piece of plastic that holds the red 'R' for the right hand side and where the adjustable band seems to slide in. I just noticed it and inspected it briefly... it does not seem like a crack on the second look but a manufacturing defect. From squeezing it I see no movement around the crack at all.
Anyway, again will check it out later and maybe do some pics with it and the 1R. Now not that the 7520 is ugly.... but they make the 1R look really sexy...
Just one quick question..... I just got a mac mini, so I have some flac files that I want to convert to 320kbps to put on my touch... any input on software that I can use to do that from anyone here?
