Best headphones for "wall of sound / lo-fi" metal / noise rock / hardcore music?
Hello.
I am an avid listener of "wall of sound" metal-ish music such as (some examples, CAREFUL with volume):
The Gerogerigegege - The Gerogerigegege: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mZGNTx6SrrE
Murmuure - Primo Vere: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ydpbxZgOOEk

I have recently bought a new DAC/amp Fiio K7 and tried several headphones with them, but did not found the great sounding pair yet. Here are the results:
- Audio-Technica ATH M50X. Closest to the ideal so far. Guitars sound energetic and punchy, bass is pretty cool but slightly more dirty than needed. Treble, however, is full of sibilants and ruins the experience. These headphones were awesome with an old Sony A17 player, but with Fiio K7 they are significantly worse.
- Fiio FT1. Horrific nightmare, guitars are drowning in the mud. The music becomes a one big uncontrollable bass resonance.
- Focal Azurys. Detailed textures, interesting "compact" bass, but the guitars are way too thin and polite. Very mediocre experience, and I always feel there is not enough volume even if it's objectively too much already. Also every lo-fi track sounds horrid with them (I understand the irony, lol).
- Beyerdynamic DT 150. The most bizarre one, they did not fit my skinny face at all. There are huge holes under my ears, so all of the sub-bass is leaking (I guess). But even with that, the guitars are pretty alright and maybe even good (maybe somewhat dry). I have no idea how they would sound with a proper sit.
I am fond of "somewhat analogue", not overly-detailed sound, guitar-driven, energetic and punchy.
What should I try next for my very specific taste? The budget is $300-800.
Also open to open-back suggestions, but I kinda doubt they will fit into my music anyway. Will be glad to be mistaken.
