is there any better headphone than ad900 for metal music? IMO, ad900 is really excel in this kind of fast music.....

i have grado sr60i too....but i still prefer ad900 for metal because every note is clear and distinctive, especially the bass......
maybe, higher end grado may sound better than ad900.......
but only problem is some female vocal sound weird to me in ad900, it's like "grainy" a bit.......especially, alison krauss voice.....
do u have this kind of problem,Quazacolt?

aztoiozalan, nasib baik u didn't ask me to walk everywhere......
it's ok, belum cuba, tak kena racun.......so can resist the temptation!

Quazacolt, if it is possible, can u post a youtube link of female vocal that u find harsh with ad900?
sorry for the trouble, just want to make sure nothing wrong with the headphone......
thank u very much for ur help......

Quazacolt, it's true that youtube is not the best way to analyze the sound.....
thank u anyway.....

thanks for the recommendation,sheenho......
i will try to listen to the songs and see.....

thanks for the amp recommendation,Quazacolt.
i'll consider it too......

no problem

bro DaEMoNteNTAcLe, can u explain more about what u mean by DAC limitation?
i'm currently using audinst MX-1 to drive ad900, yet it is a bit grainy with some female vocals......
from my own research on it, i felt the 7-10khz hump is responsible for it's grainy sound, ad700 has even higher peak!......
in my case, i think the audinst make it more apparent cause with it's not obvious with my sony mp3 player............
it's just my noob opinion, maybe someone have better explanation, i'm glad to hear it......

check this link:

thanks for the advice, bro DaEMoNteNTAcLe.
i also think there must a culprit that coz this distortion becoz i just change my pc........
i didn't notice it in my old pc last time......
i'll look into ur advice and report back about it.......

aztoiozalan,congratulations!enjoy.......

Quazacolt bro, nice review there.......
this earpad change can be my savior, still considering since w5000 cost nearly rm300.......

i felt like crying listening to ad900 after opamp rolling on audinst HUD MX-1......
it's so warm.......i'm loving it!

bro akabane, i can't hear what u say
