These in-ears make a lot of music I listen on them sound absolutely stellar. They have a surprising amount of soundstage for something that isolates this well, and the detail in them is quite great. They have a bit of a peak around 5kHz. In a lot of cases this adds detail to the sound, and has a tendency to bring out the snare drum, hi-hat and cymbals a bit more than a flat headphone would, which I personally quite like.

These in-ears work very well for pretty much anything I listen to, going from Rush to Greta van Fleet to Pendulum to Infected Mushroom. But then I put on Nightwish's Imaginaerum, and that's where the mixed feelings began. I'll admit I'm pretty treble sensitive. But besides the lead guitar becoming piercing and almost painfully annoying, I lost so much detail in the track as a result of it. The problem here is that modern metal tends to get mixed and mastered in a very aggressive way, and with the sound already being so full and maxed out the 5kHz peak in these makes a lot of things fall apart. This isn't a problem with the in-ears, and it's not a problem with the music, but it's a problem with combining them.

This isn't universal across all metal, and not exclusive to metal. It all depends on how the specific music is mixed and mastered. While I ran into this with bands like Nightwish and Sabaton, I had no problems listening to Iron Maiden and Eluveitie. It seems to occur more on music with more modern production, but your mileage may vary. This isn't universal across all metal, and not exclusive to metal.
