I am looking for a over-ear headphone that best suit the genres I listen to.

 

I mostly listen to:

 

-Metal

-All kinds of Rock (from led zeppelin to alterbridge)

-A little bit of jazz and edm(deadmouse, daftpunk...)

 

I don't really have a budget for this, I am just looking for the best value I can get. Not planning to buy something right away just trying to get to know and explore the market.

Recently tried out Koss Portapros, they are quite good for rock like AC/DC and Led Zeppelin but sounds a little noisy when I listen to metal.

 

I appreciate any input to the topic.

 

Thanks...

CHC SIlverados were specifically tuned for Rock. Review in siggy, and they're still cheap on Amazon.

I dont like them for metal, bass gets flabby at times. Sony's did better.

I've recently gotten into a band (Haken) which is prog metal, you got sorta heavy guitars and stuff, and they incorporate lots of jazz and funk elements, and for this music I like accurate, clear mids and an airy soundstage so Sennheisers are pretty nice for it, but if you want isolation, I really like my Shure SRH440's (with 840 pads) and stuff, but imo the CHC Silverado's don't REALLY work for it as they don't have as good mids, even though they are great for rock and I REALLY like them for a certain band (Ghost, aka Ghost B.C.) cus they just sound good with rock.

Reviews: JBL J33i   M50s   SRH440   Soundmagic PL50

Whatchu think about MOE's for Metal? They've been going on sale for $100 a lot recently.
