    We've curated a list of what we consider to be our best headphones for rock music and heavy metal. These genres usually feature electric guitars, electric bass, percussion, keyboards (electronic, piano, or organ), and, of course, vocals. There can be many other instruments in the mix: think sax with Bruce Springsteen, flutes in Jethro Tull, or bagpipes in Korn. Vocals and lyrics also play a huge role in rock and metal, be they screaming vocals or more soulful or fun-sounding lyrics. You want a headphone that will bring out the best in your favorite singer's voice and won't let it get lost amid the instrumentation. When your headphone is well-matched to your music, it makes for a better listening experience.

    The Audeze LCD-X combined with the ifi Zen Dac/Amp separates is great for this 50+ year metalhead. I very much enjoy the detail, tight yet not booming bass, and smooth treble. When I listen to my favorite band Lovebites, it's heaven.

    Hello, thanks for this great review. What do you think about the Denon AH-D9200 for pop/rock/metal ? Good enough ? I need a close back option and Meze Liri is out of my budget! Thanks guys 👍

    I really enjoy the Nutopia and the Susvara for rock. If I had to pick one for metal, I’d probably go Nutopia. Surprised it didn’t make the list.
    I’d probably put the Susvara in the last video for classical and Nutopia here.

      @moon-audio  Рік тому +3

      We typically don't recommend warm headphones for Rock and Metal. We like a headphone with top-end sizzle and a more forward sound, *but everyone hears differently!* The Utopia 2022 is a great choice for many genres. 🙂

    I often travel by plane and long-distance train, are there any “close-back” models? Because the leaking sound will disturb those around me, especially when I listen to Deathcore!
    Thanks a lot!

      For closed back recommendations for Rock Music we recommend The Hifiman Audiovana, Meze Liric, and the TH-900 MK2 for our high-end options. Other, more budget friendly options include the Focal Bathys, Focal Clestee, and the DCA Aeon 2 Noire.
      Hope this helps! For more custom recommendations you can reach us directly via our Contact US form here: www.moon-audio.com/contact-us

    As a metalhead I appreciate someone addressing this topic.
    1. Grado for Americana, and rock is amazing. Didn't like it as much for extreme metal. 325x would be a good introduction In their line up.

    I find Clear MG to be quiet shouty especially for rock. It's very tiring. I have put a video about it as well so i would consider something with more tamed treble.

      I auditioned it against 800s and lcd x for metal usage and went with the lcd x. I personally found the mg to be less engaging. The 800s staging was just so huge it sounded hollow.

    Ironic ... I spent 3 years, and $14,000 delving deeep into HeadFi.
    I tried everything, but gave up ever finding a pair of headphones that did any justice to Metal music.
    ATH-M50 were as close as I came. But they were a bit congested. I tried Beyer T1, Senn 800s, etc.
    This was 14 years ago however

    Best for metal in my opinion:
    Abyss 1266 TC
    Fostex TH900
    Utopia
    Final D8000 and Pro
    Meze Empyrean is good too
    Budget:
    Used Fostex TH-600 or E-MU Teak
    Hifiman Sundara
    Grado SR line is great for rock but not for metal
    Drop Ultrasone Signature X is good too for the money

      Interesting to see your opinion on headphones for metal. I have been shopping and watching reviews but no one recommends anything PORTABLE in the budget category for metal. Earbuds are mostly underwhelming and uncomfortable and planar magnetic require amps. Not sure what to buy if nothing sounds great; might as well settle for anything cheap, unfortunately.
