I'm pretty sure "muffled" isn't a good thing. Now we're at 5 votes for Fidelio(s) and 3 for M-100. Nobody seems to be able to explain why they voted for Fidelio.

It's because of the X1s. If you wanna know why, go to here (http://www.head-fi.org/t/623013/new-philips-fidelio-x1) Whole bunch of impressions in that thread. 

I do have to say however, these are not for portable usage, mainly home.

Ok, gotcha. But the X1 isn't portable like the M-100, so I think that excludes it as a finalist.. So much for the L1 and M1... But, certainly, at some point I can consider the X1 as a strictly at home headphone, since it is open and perhaps a wider sound stage than the M-100... It would be interesting to have 2 awesome headphones that sound differently, but are both exquisite in their own right.

I didn't think it fair for me to vote as I haven't heard all the candidates. I do have the ATH-ESW9 model and like them very much, listening mostly to 'world' and acoustic music. I have Fidelio L1's on order but have not heard them yet. I like a mid-forward sound profile, and although I like a tight and well-controlled bass, I am not what might be considered a basshead. Having said all that, I have the HD25 and about a dozen portables and the ATH-ESW9 are currently my favorites of the bunch. My $0.02.

I've just received the L1, and I think they sound really great. I have Shure 1840, HD598, B&W P5 and I think these are the most fun sounding. Shure 1840 is far more detailed and have much less bass. I'm using the L1 unamped just from the notebook, I'll try later to use the Dacport LX + C421. Anyhow, they make me smile so I think they are great.
