I wonder if the Vmoda M80 would be too pricey? That's getting up to appx $160 US. Good style, closed design, very nice portability.

Didn't know about those, definitely interested. I was considering the audiotechnica M50, are these a major step up from those?

Don't think they are necessarily a step up compared to the M50s. E.g. the M50s might give you
more detail. Vmoda's were smoother and warmer to my ears. But sounded good
on bass-centric music during the brief listen I had with them. Also really liked how the Vmodas
are sized and styled.

Also saw the M100s and think that may be up my alley.
EDIT: NVM, at $300 i'll have to wait for another time.

may I ask one silly question?

DAC. amp. audio wiring and implementation. Note 2 DAC is good , but if you compare it to high end players like ibasso dx 100 and other players like it? you are losing out quite a bit, you don't need to completely ditch the note 2 , there is no reason to do that
