So does anyone know if the amount of bass and SQ for the Fontopias are close to the Vibes? I'm assuming at least the BQ is far superior...
Can not tell you strongly enough how bad the SQ of the 51LP is!! I've had them for a few years now and for the 1st month I thought they were barely okay until I got a pair of KSC75's. Now I use the 51LP's to listen to TV only. I also have the Koss plugs and as bad as these are they are still better than the Sony's and I heard the 71LP's are just as bad as the 51LP's. I have seen good reviews of the 70 series though ($100)
