Best Headphones for Metal?

post #1 of 27
1/8/10 at 5:42pm
Thread Starter 
I'm looking for some new cans that can handle Metal very well.


Bands like

Whitechapel
Cannibal Corpse
Necrophagist
The Faceless
Job For a Cowboy
Children of Bodom
Parkway Drive
Impending Doom

Any advice? I'd like to keep this under $100.

Exactly.

Grado headphones are amazing for metal because of their raw, harsh midrange - just what you need for guitars.

You know there is scientific proof that metal is one of the worse types of music for you. It has been shown to actually make people weaker during excercises. Don't get me wrong. Melodic Metalcore is my favorite type of music.
