Some of the most commonly praised headphones are the M50x's, and the M40's  are very similar. The specs are listed on that Amazon link, but basically the range sounds practically identical to a casual listener so there's no need to worry about a loss of frequency response unless you're looking to do some professional mixing. They're also lighter than the M50's so they're more comfortable to wear.\r\n\r\nI listen to a fairly wide variety of music, metal included, and I'll tell you that the M40's are a very good value for only being $100. Do your own research and get plenty of opinions, but the M40's are a very good option for the price.","subreddit_name":"Metal","author":"dudelikeshismusic"},{"body":"Audio-Technica-ATH-M40x are $115 on Amazon right now.
