any updates on this?

Quote: exactly :)   E3, E5, E7. it only gets better and better

HD25 FTW

neither, get the grado, but you need isolation. I will never recommend the P5 because there are far better sounding headphones at it's price. TMA-1 or the HD-25 depending on your music, HD-25 for rock, classic, pop, etc. TMA-1 for RnB, hip-hop, house, etc

don't buy it! your not supporting the original manufacturers. they wont earn money for research.   IT'S LIKE SUPPORTING POACHING i think?

Quote: but the E5 has a louder volume :D

from what I see you are comparing earbuds (open with no bass) to full-sized circum aural (closed and bassy)   maybe your the kind of guy that would think Grados are too bassy. when auditioning gear you must use music you know at at least 128kbps bit rate. I think SR80's will be your thing ;)

x2 on the HD-25

Quote: maybe the bass boost was off   a simple fiio (even the E3) could make a huge addition to the bass

It does.   In fact I have the E3 and not the E5.  But when I audition it with the E5, it's so much better.   All in all if you want bass get an E5 or E7. because iirc the E7 and E5 have different ways of reproducing bass but I havent tried my 440 with an E7 so I can't really say.  ...

If you want 440 with the boominess, get the 750   but if you were too excited to wait for the 750 (like me) and got the 440 instead, you can just get an E5

HD438?

Ive heard the K518 (mine) the M50 (owned by a friend) and the WS70 (another friend) they're all good but it gets better when it gets bigger

Sennheiser OMX70 sport the green one I think it got stollen in school
