Yeah so basically

I had to drive a 79 series troopy from Brisbane to Mackay.... Three times. After the first trip I went out bought a pair Sony XM4's so I had hearing after the next two trips. Great at turning diesel into noise.

Top headphones for Metal?

Sony XM4s or XM5s (specifically WH-1000XM4 or 5) — you can often find them on sale, and they're top notch. The XM6 seems good (admittedly I haven't personally tried them yet) but they aren't on sale as frequently since they're newer.
