Overall excellent buds, very good sound quality, especially for their price, the medium set of tips fits exactly in my ears and provides a near perfect seal. Bass is very detailed, but not... -
The AKG K270s are the classic, big huge studio headphones. There is little doubt if you see someone in these cans, they're tracking tasty licks on a new album. Despite their size, they do tend... -
I'll keep this very short. They are very smooth sounding. Treble toned down so not so good for rock but have a magic about them that makes them better than mark 2. I use them with a '89/'90... -
Bought these on whim, for your basic train ride to work I don't mind. But its far from being the best I have own. -
First, I should note that I auditioned these both straight out of the box, without any break-in time and then later after 53 hours of break-in. Recent scientific studies have shown definite...

So basically, my personal preference is:
1) Buget USD$100>
2) I'm a rocker(Avenged Sevenfold) / metal(Bullet For My Valentine) / punk rock(My Chemical Romance) / slow rock(The All-Americans Rejects) / once in a while, trance(Alesso, Le Grande) though very seldom.
3) For a rocker, I enjoy when blazing fast guitars and thumping drums solos come at me. Screams to be controlled and every instruments to be heard(e.g. Separations between guitar 1 / guitar 2 / drum / lead vocal / back-up vocal to be heard clearly when everything is playing at the same time.
4) Portable for outdoor use. Size doesn't really matters as long as it isn't the size of a home amplifiers.
I do know I'm asking for too much, but I'm just trying to make it clearer so that you can help me better. :) I actually got sick reading up reviews for 1 month now, there are definitely no 100% foolproof audio sets at the moment but it is really hard to find 1 just for my taste.
Lastly, if these headphones will help:
1) Alessandro MS1i (Rocker Style, in your face, better bass)
2) Grado SR80i (Rocker Style, in your face)
3) Superlux HD660 (Cheapest)
4) Audio Technical M50S (Isolation from closed cupped)
Leaning towards MS1i for having better base now.
