AudioTechnica, Sennheiser, VModa, I can't decide.

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Hey everyone. I recently was in a never ending quest to find a good pair of In Ears which began with the Rockford Fosgate Punch plugs and then sadly ended with a free pair of iBeats...
Anyways I'm looking for a good pair of headphones now, and I really don't know what to choose. I just recently had a listen to the Sennheiser HD598s and was blown away by the sound quality and comfort.
So I decided I needed a set of cans for myself.
I've been scouring the internet for quite some time now and have come up with three pairs of headphones that catch my interest.
(I listen to Electro, House, Trance, Dubstep, etc. And the occasional Rock never hurts)
Firstly, there are the V Moda Crossfade LPs
I love how these headphones look, the case, detachable cords, etc. What I cannot tell is how they actually sound. Some people say they are superb for the cost, while others claim they are average at best.
Second are the Audio Technica ATH M50s.
Apparently these headphones sound incredible, I have yet to find a totally negative review on them. What I dislike about these is their bulky look, as well as the overall bulky nature.
Lastly, there are the Audio Technica Pro700 mk2s.
There isn't much written about these headphones so it was hard for me to get a good feel, but from what I could gather, these sound slightly better than the ATH m50, and have a few extra features.

I'd love to hear what you guys recommend, as well as if you think there are better choices for around the 100 - 150 mark.
Style is kind of important, durability is very important, comfort is very important, and sound quality is very very important.

Thanks,
Apple.

Pro700 MK2. He compares it to other bassy headphones as well.

Thanks for the share, I had my ideas a little wrong I can see.
Any thoughts on the Crossfades? Those are still very appealing to me.

After some searching,I thought some Grados would be cool.
Any thoughts?
I really come to the dilemma that I keep finding more options, and I just can't decide.

Only get the grado if you only plan on useing them at home, i love my grados but. I wouldnt bring them into the public due to the fact that everyone will hear your music and you will hear everything around you

Grados don't have enough bass for electronic music. Definitely strike that off your list if you listen to electronic music. It's great for rock and metal though.

if you wanna get a crossfade LP, better wait until the LP2 released, from Tyll's website (innerfidelity.com) it seems to have a lot of improvement over the original LP.

 

Pro700mkII would be a good choice for your music.. but if you dont like the bulkiness of the m50 then I dont think these would suit your appearance requirements either, they roughly have a similar form factor (which I think not that bulky, quite portable imo)

 

 

cheers,
