Do you think you will ever review the HA-S500s? They are very well regarded, and I would love to see how they stack up in your books.

 

Edit: I'm useless and never use the search button. Sorry about that!

I'm torn between DT 1350 and M80 from V-Moda. The street price of DT 1350 is currently $199 (100 bucks below the suggested). M80 on the other hand is only $130. This is Amazon's price btw. My question is do you think the difference in price is worth it for me to go straight with Beyer rather than M80? Would you say 1350 is convincingly more referenced-sounding than M-80? If not, then I might go with M80 first, then (very) later on 1350. If yes, then I'd rather save more and wait more, to get DT 1350. Although I heard that the units from Beyer DT1350 can sound very different from each other. Any thoughts on that? 

 

I can afford an amp too if needed, but is DT 1350 good sounding enough if I plug them straight into my iPod? Or does it lose some edge over M80 if to be used w/o an amp?

 

If it helps, my best sounding portable cans right now are ATH-M50 and ESW9.

I just got the M80 from Amazon as well, $185 shiped to Mexico, to be honest I kinda regret my purchase, for one they are kinda unconfortable, the band is too small and I have a small head (per hat size) they sound nice, but to my ears my IEMs like Brainwavz B2 sound better, they are well made and all though.
