For you what’s the best headphone/IEM and what genre you listen with them? (alien.top)

Going through this journey I got a lot of recommendations claiming those things are THE HEADPHONES and nothing can beat it and... And sometimes I get a little disappointed for spending loads of bucks at a “meh” headphone. But I can’t blame them, I know that one thing that is good for one may not be for the other.

I see people asking this question about the “best”, but audio and music are very subjective. That’s why we get many different answers and there is no “better headphones”. So for YOU, what’s the best audio device and you love to listen in them?

I love my HD 560s for any kind of pop music and well mastered rock/metal. They are very very capable and easy to EQ. I run mine with a bass boost a slight treble decrease and they sound phenomenal.

I love my 560S for metal. Now I've heard people complain they only sound good with well mastered music, but I have plenty of poorly mastered underground metal bands in my collection and that doesn't bother me.

Im in the same boat, own more expensive headphones but I find myself using these 70% of the time

Any recommendations for a Bluetooth earbud/headphone for the gym if I’m into the same genre?

I am owning a 560s since the last couple of months and I've got to say that I really love these pair. I like using it more often than my other costlier cans.
