Sad to see you leaving the W30's behind, as I bought mine (and love them) due to your reviews and insistence on people at least thinking about them. However it's at least nice to know where to look when I feel like like upgrading from them at some point...

Maybe the Westone W30?

Never tried them, but as far as know, RE-600 are more analytical then W30.   If you want to hear every detail and have a balanced sound than you would probably want RE-600.   If you want a fun sound with great bass than I would say W30.   However the cable set up of the RE-600 would scare...

So, I finally picked my pair up from Fed Ex today, and I really like them. One thing though, I think I may be hearing some distortion. I'm using my Iphone 5s with 320kbps CBR MP3 files, so nothing major when it comes to audio quality. I might have to play around with flac to see if that's the...

Good stuff. I plan on ordering a set on Friday when I get my paycheck. Upgrading from SE315, these sound exactly like what I was looking for.

I was just wondering how everyone inserts the double flanges... I've never used this type before, and would prefer to use them as they are cheaper than foams in the long term. I just don't know how far is too far, or any tips for getting a good seal. Thanks.

I bought them from Guitar Center so they better be real. Also about the randomness, it's not. If I hear it and go back, it'll do it again. I'll check out the sine waves when I can and report back.

Nope, I never use an eq.

Also, checking my latest plays, Bruno Mars-Grenade I remember hearing a lot towards the end. Sadly I have not been using them too much due to work and other things but those are just the ones off the top of my head. I just don't want to miss the return date if they're disfunctioning or have to...

It's not distortion throughout the entire songs, just a little bit here and there. I have it on Trivium's new album In Waves, Greatest hits of Staind, The Lonely Island Turtleneck & Chain, and others. I've always read that high bit rate music and high end cans wouldn't have any distortion, maybe...

They are all 320kbps coming out of my Iphone 3gs or from my desktop creative X-Fi Titanium.

I got a pair of M50's the other day and I've noticed alot of distortion. I don't know if it's because albums are mastered poorly ( I listen to a lot of rock and metal, so I wouldn't be surprised...) or my headphones are defective. I was just wondering if anybody has any ideas or if it's just normal?
