I guess they're out for me anyway. Took my S:Flo2 in to listen to the Solo's, and the bass disappears until I hold in the center button in on the control talk thing. Do they come with a second (non-controltalk) cable?
Considering I am fairly sure they'll keep breaking, until I end up stuck with a broken pair after the 1 year warranty, I think I'll put my foot in my mouth and stay away. Especially, if you say there are other cans out there that will do the same for less, and not break over and over again. The main thing I like about them is what most people here hate. Since I'm severely sensitive to brightness/harshness/sibilance, I prefer a slightly veiled/rolled off treble, similar to PortaPro, but I would still prefer slightly less.
Those earpads on those AKG's look too small for me. They appear to be similar in size to my K81DJ, which are really too small for me. If they're actually larger, let me know. I've been looking at the ES7's, but in ljokerl's portable shootout he mentions they have soft bass impact.
Browsing through headphone.com graphs, the DT770 would probably have similar bass. But, they are almost 2x the price. I have no experience with them though, so I have no idea if I'd like the rest of the range. The solo's really are pretty crazy looking at their graph. +5 - +15db from 10-100hz.
SRH750DJ looks to be up there too. XB500/700, but I know I don't like their highs. Ultrasone 650, and, odd enough, the ATH-M50. I know a graph won't determine how they sound in reality, but it's a start.
