This phone is certainly on my short list for non-open headphones. I listened to the stock T50RP for a little while, knowing it was very popular to modify when I bought it, but curious about the bass sound. It was the first headphone/IEM I owned that I really started noticing some details I hadn't before in music, my other headphone at the time of purchase being the SR80i. I've heard the Mad Dog, but there was something lackluster to the sound for me, which might have been in the bass, I'm not entirely sure. Everything I've read about the Vibro has it at the top of my list for now, especially after Harley's comment making it sound like the Vibro could be a contender for the LCD 2.2 depending on the type of sound you like. If I do get the Vibro, I really must decide what color I'm going to have made. I must admit the blue stain has my interest at the moment, but I'm worried it won't turn out well.
The cost difference between my bottom and top end is... well, comical. I know how much money I can spend, just not sure how much I'm willing to spend, especially considering I haven't had a chance to audition either of the 2 expensive options as of yet. I'm certainly with DaemonSire due to the TH600 and Vibro are both on my list on the lower end. Of the 5 I'm thinking about, I'm curious about the Blue Mo-Fi for quite a few reasons, and I'm not ashamed to admit 1 of them is I love the aesthetics of the headphone. The other two on the list are the TH900 and LCD-XC, but while I have no doubt they'll be the best two performers as far as quality, I'm not sure how well the XC will match up with my preference for sound sig, and I'm also not quite sure I'm willing to spend that much on a headphone. It does, however, have quite a lot going for it that I'd enjoy, partially due to it's fairly easy to drive nature, which would give me some nice listening options for players. I guess after I go out and audition them I'll see if I fall in love, or decide I'm happier staying in a lower price bracket.
Sorry for the ramblings, I know they're kind of off topic, just thinking out loud helps me with decisions sometimes. Heck, just typing this out made me realize Vibro's my #1 choice if I had to pick right now.
Hmm, apparently I need to look at the Pandora Hope VI. Thankya Grizzlybeast
