This is the one. I love these for metal very much

That's awesome! What bands or genres do you listen to, if you don't mind sharing? All I want is good details, good imaging, good layering and instrument separation. I like my bass like I like my treble, detailed yet not overdone. I mean to say balanced. I have HD 599 but the riffs sound muffled and cymbals and hi hats sound like hisses in the background. I also have K361 but it sounds a bit thin. Treble is fine on it but instruments lack weight or body. I hope MV1 would not sound thin and less detailed than these two.

Tool, gojira, mastodon, fair to midland, johnny booth, soad, meshuggah and plenty of other good stuff. Enough of a mix that I know they work very well with it

The 1AM2 is also very good on metal guitar riffs. On rock music you can't go wrong with Sony headphones. The problem is the quality of the music tracks that drive me crazy, always very different. I use Luftikus for effective and immediate equalization.

That's great! I think I'll go with the MV1. I don't have a DAC-AMP setup anyway to drive other headphones in this price range. Just a xDuoo Link 2 Bal. Thanks!

Had 1am2 too, Mv1 is another level entirely.. or well, the Open back version of the 1am2 sort of.

Do know that if you do go for a more premium source, sony headphones, unsurprisingly, pair exceptionally well with sony headphones.

Ah. I see. What would you recommend? I was actually considering iFi uno or Fiio K11.

No clue, I only know my sony wm1a sounds incredible with them.

Have you tried them with movies?

I am late in the game. Just bought the MV1. - seems interesting. Bought it based on comments like the most comfortable headphones. Needed to Tv shows and who knows, serious music listening. My daily driver is the NDH 30. Let see if I like the MV1 better, $349 on Amazon today. Can't resist. Press buy and suffer the later..

I really love this headphone and have been using it more than my much more expensive gears lately. Hope you'll enjoy it too! I pair it with the M15S which I believe you have as well!

Nice statement... That is exactly what I am gonna do. Pair it with the M15s. I really look forward to test it out. Will report back. Cheers.

What other headphones you have and why you like it so much?

He's got a headphone list in the description, if I were to guess it's the sound which imo beats sennheiser 6xx / 660s, and the comfort, which is the best I've tried thusfar.
