I have the 58x and personally like them for metal cause of the good quality mids and not too forward treble, as well as a decent amount of bass. Don't have many other headphones to compare them to though, but I definitely prefer them to my ATH-M40x, although I don't dislike those.

I'm also a metal fan, and the reasons why you like the HD58X are the same reasons why I'm disappointed in the HD58X.

Maybe it depends what subgenre of metal

Maybe. My preference is mostly /r/symphonicmetal with female vocals.
