IMO price/sound wise I give the ue's the win. akg's sound too harsh and the vmoda's bass is not as good as the ue's.

Right now I am auditioning both the M100's and the PSB. They are neck and neck right now. the PSB would have been a no brainer for me but I find there to be virtually no bass at all. They sound as crisp and clear as anything I have tried, are very comfortable, but a little heavy. The M100's are much lighter and have a more punchy bass. I dont need a lot of bass, but the PSB seems to really be lacking there. I sent back the momentums because they did not fit comfortably. I have the Amperiors on the way, hoping they can help break the close race between the two I am testing now.
Hmm - well, between the "harsh" comments and the "no isolation" comments on the K267 - I'm getting a bit nervous, holding onto my pre-order.
Even if the vTrue's sound amazing, I wouldn't be able to use them in public without killing myself.
Maybe the UE9000 is better than the 6000? The 6000 had that god awful jack issue and the amp boosted bass far too much.
Craigster, have they talked about those bigger M-100 pads again yet?
Sometimes we can get over complex with observations and explanations.
I find direct headphone comparisons to be more telling and easier to grasp.
I can say that the m100 is much more alive and substantial in the mids compared to a lowly sony v6.
I can also say that the m100 also sounds superior to an m50,
In which it makes my ath m50LE sound dry and flat.
It may or may not have "reference" sound to some degree,
But I have to admit the m100 have the most enjoyable sound to me yet.
I hope to have my akg 167 soon to compare.
The review sounds promising for bassheads.

This is the problem with so many of these headphones for me. Personally - I want something that is like my current M50's, but with more punch in the low end, as well as a more up-front mid-range. I do not want oodles and oodles of bass while ignoring the mid-range like so many of these headphones, and the one headphone that seems to do this well, leaks apparently.
Finding a headphone to match me seems to betting harder and harder..
