Heard him do a live set on WFMU (best radio station ever, by the way, can be accessed on WFMU.org, have it on non-stop at the office), liked the music, Tuesdays are rough to go out (but that is the same night that Valley Lodge were playing)...

  You linked to a thread that rips this thread sf.  What's wrong with you.

"These have fallen under the radar, while so called "discoveries" [which in my experience have been nothing but hype]been getting all the craze".
 
I'm just kiddin'  Those LG's seem nice though.

(just won an auction on Best Buy for Beyerdynamics DT 1350, been curious about Beyers, seem to have fans, but not much mention around here. Tyll liked them, though, rave review. Report back later)
I like em and my wife loves them. I found a set on sale in the FS for a great price so I bought them. Didn't need them but I was always curious about it as well thanks to joker and his review (I've listened to 3 of his 4 top portable cans ranked by sound and I'd rank them dt1350, M-80, HD25-ii, haven't heard the ES10). Wife gave them a listen and I promptly lost them to her. She told me that I didn't need anymore and she needed an upgrade. Couldn't argue with her there. :D

I've lusted after them for a long time. The lust finally was satiated when I got the M500's. I still have a lust-spot for the dt1350's though, so I'm looking forward to your impressions. The main thing I was concerned about is the comfort/clamping force, so please let us know how that is. Oh, and congrats!
You should add them to your list of must tries. They're great and comfier than it seems.

Update for the GEEK Out.

ESS amp instead of the TI PCM, Blue and Black are looking really awesome, they are still on schedule for a January release, and free music!

Feeling that headphones itch, and being forced to wait till Christmas for my V-Moda M100, I decided to come and see what the new FOTM IEM was...

Monster Gratitude /thread

See you guys in another six months.

No, but really, I've been dying to get my hands on some new high-end Monster's since my Monster Turbine Pro's got stolen. I looooooooveeeeee Triple Flange tips and Monster makes the best triple flange tips IMO. I'm reading that these are slightly mid boosted Pro Coppers. Which means I'll feel right at home D: Don't want to retire my Vsonic VSD1's (not VSD1S) but I don't think I'll be reaching for them that much anymore...

I was going to get the JVC S500's like I planned, but my fiancee told me that she was buying me a pair of M100s and that I should just wait for them. Cannot wait until Christmas comes around so that I can retire my M80s. :D

So, I'm hearing more and more good things about the Monster Gratitudes so they are now in the running for my next iem purchase. Gratitudes, MA750 or XBA H1? Not sure which to go for.


Is the XBA-H1 more of an upgrade than the previous XBA-1 to XBA-10 or is it just a minor upgrade from the XBA-10?

If you can wait a few days I'll be getting the Gratitudes this week. I'll definitely post my impressions.
