In Reply to: RE: Need closed back cans for rocking out, for the metal posted by husafreak on December 05, 2015 at 20:31:15
I have several mid-priced (between $150 and $350), and I can recommend without hesitation the V Moda Crossfade M-100.
I listen to a lot of rock and these thing absolutely crush it! The tightest hardest hitting bass I have ever heard. While they are not as accurate as my Sennheisers, they are awesome for the likes of Rush, Van Halen, Metallica, Buck Cherry, Hinder, Creed etc....
Another plus is they are without a doubt the coolest looking cans I have as well. I love the fact that you can fully customize them to your taste.
Good luck.

Everybody likes to hear "the rest of the story" so here it is. I founds the Crossfade M-100's to be too fat for me, they were the opposite of my HD600's for sure. I got a lot of suggestions over at Steve Hoffman Forums and ended up with two sets of closed back phones. The first was the NAD VISO HP50 and the second the mighty Masssdrop Fostex TH-X00. The NAD's cost about half what the Fostex cost and they are not as revealing as them but they are both cut from the same cloth. They are my portables now. Both headphones do a fantastic job at kicking out the jams and they both posses fantastic bass profiles but without overwhelming the rest of the audio spectrum. The Fostex actually reproduce high quality sub bass and the highs are clear and more articulate. I also realized that my old Creek amp sucks. Especially a poor match for my old Sennheisers. A Garage 1217 Ember II now has pride of place on my home rack. Even with the amp change I still have a hard time listening to my HD600's anymore. Except for lighter fare. Too bright and not enough bass for the hard stuff.
Glad you found what you like.
My favorite closed backs are still my 3 year Sennheiser Momentum over ear - dead neutral.
The are also very lightweight and comfortable.
