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)

Default Koss Porta Pro

I purchased my first pair over the counter at J&R Music World near the former World Trade Center (Twin Towers) back in 1985 to listen to my Sony Walkman or was it a high end Aiwa tape deck? They were amazing then and they are still around giving up the goods via a mp3 players and laptop computers!!! Will somebody create a can that can rival these in sound, cost, comfort ratio before my hearing completely goes south?!

Just purchased a set of Microsonic Musics Epic JC series and it the clarity is comparable to any single driver available, but the fit and comfort blow all the other in ears away. (and they stay in). a very good choice

Don't the DT770's have a little more bass than the 880's? Or so thats what I have been reading.

I apologize for this maybe not being the best place to ask this question, and if there is another thread on this site that may help me, please direct me there. I'm considering purchasing a pair of headphones (don't currently own any) and I was looking at the DT880's. Im unfamiliar with how much noise an open phone will put out. My girlfriend will be sleeping in the bed next to me while I'm listening (she's a fairly heavy sleeper) and I'm just wondering if it will output too much noise for her to continue slumbering. I know this is a rather subjective question and any help is much appreciated.

I listened to both the 770s as well as the 880s at a guitar center, and chose the 770s because they had more bass. To be specific, I mean the 770 Pro 80s (80 ohm) that guitar center carries.

Here is a graph that corroborates what I heard. Note that the Senn 650 and the 880 have freq response near 0 db in the low bass area, whereas the 770s have +10 db.

I'm sure this is OLD news. But I need thoughts on the q-jays.

I'm about to purchase them from the manufacture and I need SOMEONE to tell me what they think.

thanks!
