thanks, I'll take it into consideration. Read through it and according to that for a good one I need to raise my budget to roughly 1.2k + amp. For a decent one it'll be just under 1k. All of the C grades fail on the same points as the Shure funnily enough. Anyway once I'm in the store I'll...

skimmed over that link, I never looked that close into data but it seems to me he's focusing too much on the science. He fails a lot of good headphones including the HE-400, T1 and more... I'm not sure if his standard is just way higher than most or if something else is going on. Also it seems...

thanks for the input, hopefully I can track down a HiFiMan to test listen and go from there. I'm curious how they sound, I pretty confident I'll like the Shure from what I've read as many have compared it to the T1 and I used that last time I was in the shop for reference.

honestly regarding the amp I haven't done much research yet as I'll only need it for some of the choices, if I do go for one that needs it I'll go more in depth. Despite the fact that I'm content with my Momentums the HD 600 (haven't listened to the 650 yet) didn't overwhelm me in anyway. From...

Hello again Head-Fi,   instead off starting all over again I thought I'll reuse my initial thread - hope that's fine with everyone (else let me know).   So beginning of last year I chose the Momentums in the end as the suited the overall package the best and I managed to get a good deal on...

Just had a listen to the COP and they do sound very nice in my opinion. Bass on the 2nd to lowest setting is precise but not overwhelming. They are a bit bulky for every day use but very comfortable. I also took the chance and tested the 1350s, the non replaceable cord is a no go for me though...

Thanks for your input and sorry for your loss.

How is the bass of the M100 compared to the Momentum? I'm currently in a store and just listened around 1h with the Momentum to my music of the phone and it has a tad too much bass. (Had to tone it down). Unfortunately they don't have any V-Moda or Beyerdynamics here.

Hello everybody, I generally go by my nickname Bean and am in my mid 30s. Originally from Switzerland I now move about the world every couple of years, due to my wife's job. Enough of me for now and let's talk audio. I'm looking for a new headset incl. mic for when I'm on the road. I intend...
