Is 3590 good, I'm thinking of getting one of them for metal songs?

Heavy metal music is a gene of rock music which is most enjoyed with a v-shaped sound signature with enhanced bass & treble IMO. With attack & slam the guitars & drums with singer on high vigorous vocals sound energetic & made you grove.IMO you would not be able to enjoy it on ES 18 or EM1 warm & smooth signature that much. The Smooth & warm signature with take away the thunder & blast that this gene has but it will surely help to listen longer.

@ Hakimtai can you answer this please...also 3590 is available for 600 with shipping and es 18 for 750 with shipping so 150 more should be worth it right?

Both are different. A small advice first try different IEM's like Philips & Em1 then invest into what ever IEM signature you liked.

Sony xb30x are good for bassheads like me, though I havent found it supressing the mids due to the high bass. Build quality is top notch..had it for a year and is still in one piece :) Soundstage is not all that great though. Its presence can be felt but could have been better. having said this, eq settings can take care of this...
Another suggestion would be Soundmagic E20. Their soundstage is wider than the sony's.

you mean ES20? also how do metal songs like the one's from deftones sound on xb30x? i am more inclined towards xb30x because the build quality looks good and i think they will last long...

i just listened to deftones on soundcloud with my xb30's. The lows seemed muffled to me... However, the overall impression of the songs including bass seemed perfect. On the other hand i listened to the same track with my xb90's and the lows were more evident, though still not that much. Correct me if i am wrong but there is a lot of guitar impression in metal songs? Remember that bass will suppress the low IMO. But still as you said that you cannot take reliability from sony compared to soundmagic. I havent hear SM ES20 but it will have more neutral sound and a bit better soundstage comared to sony. Cutting long story short, SM has a slight edge over the sony. I would still ignore that minor advantage over reliability.

I'm using denon ahc260 since last 15 days. And its build quality is better than all of my other IEMs (xb30ex, es18, braimwavz m4). Wire looks ugly. But feels solid imo
