How does the ATH-CKS55USBK perform with Metal music?

Not a huge metal fan, but along those lines I listen to plenty of rock/hard rock ie. Foo fighters, Nirvana, and others. These buds seem to handle everything you throw at them. I would recommend them for any type music, from the softest folk to the loudest metal!

Agreed with Ryan. I'd describe the bass more as "punch". It's pretty tight, but at the same time, everything comes through very clear. And the more you use them, the better they sound.

That and prog is what I listen to all day, and they're perfect for it. Bass is nice and tight, not boomy, and very much present (thundering with good equalization). Mids and highs are well balanced and accurate. They're also comfortable to wear for long periods. I've had a lot of nice headphones and a lot of good budget headphones, and these are the best bargain hands down.

They do well with rock music. Metal like Dimmu is kind of lost in these. You will love the ear buds for everything else. They are super clear, crisp, and not super bass heavy. Don't get me wrong, you will definately hear bass but you hear everything else as well.

Hi, I'm not sure about metal or trash. But for me it handles what I want for country music. I use to play in a band and if you are going to play in a band in public than this amp is not for you. You will need a more powerful amp than this one can offer. It is ok for home private use only.

I use a Roland Cube. This headphone is terrible. All muddy bass - so yeah if you're a bass guitarist.

I use it for that, but I bought this with listening to music in mind. No doubt, its bass-leaning tendency gives more "oomph" in in-game explosions.

Yes. The onboard amp modeling is great for that. I usually run it very and let my effects pedals do the work but as astand alone amp itis more than capable of producing any overdrive you want including deep saturation metal.

it's more for rock, punk, and metal. Boost with an overdrive for a stronger distortion, I wouldn't use it for metalcore.

I cannot make a comparison, but The HK sound is superb with plenty of bass. With volume cranked up there is no noticeable distortion, again, plenty of bass but sound is well balanced (so bass is not exaggerated, which you may want...).

Well it's mainly tuned for a bass guitar, although having plugged in an electric guitar it still sounds pretty good. A bass drum may cause it to rattle or destroy the speaker possibly, but I've played some pretty dub stuff (low frequencies) on mine with no ill effects. I'd say try it, but you might be better off with a dedicated keyboard amp.

a)The amp does blues quite well. The Cali Clean (Green, Yellow, and Red) models are all based on Fender amps, the US 2x12 (Green) ia a 1959 Fender Bassman, and of course there are the 3 US Blues models. b) Hard Rock and Metal amps and effects are fully incorporated into the amp. I don't know about Iron Maiden (not that familiar), but I can get pretty much any Judas Priest or Metallica sound out of this amp. c) AC/DC's tone has been the hardest one for me to try to get, and I still can't quite get it, but then I'm not in a situation where I can really turn the amp up. Bear in mind that AC/DC's sound...it's not just the amps that they use (there IS the Marshall JTM45 amp model in the VT80+), but also the guitars and pickups. And the tonal qualities that come from TURNING....IT......UP !!! I just have a Les Paul and a 'Strat', and have never yet really cranked it up, so I can't really answer your Q re: AC/DC. But I can say that I've come up with an AC/DCish 'tone' that is....well.... "good enough".

I don't agree with that statement. The AT95E sounds good on all types of music.

Yes. I Play Advanced Music And The Keyboard Does Well. I Am Very Happy With It.

Not really but you can go up or down with a blank channel and it will act like that but if you go back to the channel you were on it will still be on. It is mainly to change up or down to a different setting and change modes on the pedal. It works great for laying down back tracks for chorus and verses and be able to go back and forth and continue playing, works great as a one man band. I love it and use it for practicing for worship with the drums and added bass lines so it sounds more like it will with the full band or just to have fun playing with the other tracks.

It should sound great, tho im not an expert i have a 750.1 kicker powering my type r and im loving it.

The low end is pretty good, its able to carry most of the sound without distorting the original quality so it should work well for your musical tastes!

Hi Kevin, only can I answer in the salsa and Latin & alt-rock: yes, the K701 are very good to excellent with these kind of music, only be sure to use an headphones amplifier and DAC, at least in my case always use both. But you can be sure that the K701 is really a top product, really a reference one. Best regards. JL

These are more for playing Metal/Hard Rock songs. If you plan to play that type of genre then these will do fine.
