Which one is better for rock, metal, alternative, grunge, etc?

And the ATHM50 is no way better than the HE400, right? Because I want is my main, and the M50 as a more portable, and also because I heard they are better with rap. Is it true?
Lol not even close. IMO M50's are not even worth its $150 price, if you consider that HE400s are $400. The performance gap is that big.
So are the HE400 good with rap?

If properly EQ'ed, it is fantastic for it. With flat EQ the vocals come off a tiny bit harsh for a lot of rap IMO. Granted I don't have much rap, mostly MF Doom and J Dilla...
Here's a screenshot of the EQ I just made for a pretty bass heavy rap sound:
Somebody else could probably do better but I think it sound great.
EDIT: Woah, I just noticed that my EQ is identical to the bass EQ in the xonar audio center except for 8 and 16k... weird.
Why'd you bump down 2-4k so much? They're already really recessed in this area already, I'm trying this right now and it sounds horrible, disgustingly dark and clouded.

EQ is baddddddddddd! Lol sorry I just don't like EQing, no hate involved.
Ha, I don't blame you for not liking it. It usually goes against the sound the artist intended, and can add distortion.
I just think it's fun pumping up the bass on these things, you should try it just to experience how loud it can really get. For the most part I play music with a flat EQ though.
But I've heard some of the FiiO amps have a distortion free bass boost... I almost want to get them just for that.
