Did you just state the M100 would even remotely sound as good as the X1s or even surpass it? Oo
Because if you did, i find you must have a fairly deranged perception of good sound, the M100 is the best bass head can (Only rivaled by Denon D600, or the Beyerdynamic COP), but compared to the X1 it sound bassy, unbalanced and artificial, it may be the better choice if you ONLY listen to electronic music and have no need for naturalness or openness, but as soon as any other genre, may it be Rock, Classic, Metall, Pop, R&B even and any acoustic music, the X1 completely obliterates the M100 or even the complete Denon line for that matter, the Denon D7000 is cloase call i gotta say, but price considered even the D7000 has to back down.... The X1 is in the league of AKG K702,K712,Sennheiser HD6xx and Beyerdynamic DT880 and T90s, the M100 at highest a great bass head alternative to the more "bad" bass headphones you can fin out there such as Beas or Souls by Luda, to me the M100 is a slightly improved Sony MDR XB500 and if you are out for the big bass it truly is what you are looking for, but that is not making it a better sounding headphone, on the contrary, especially considering the X1s are already a pretty bass emphasized headphone for audiophile standards, to me its just about right, maybe a tad less would have done it too, but i cant blame Philips for that, because even with that tad to much bass which isnt really annoying or someting, the phones are a sheer pleasure to listen to and damn neutral going upward from the lower midrange ....
