Arrghhh, the more I read about the headphones in this thread the more my wallet it starting to cry.
My top5 of interest:
1. V-Moda M100 - My faith is in Val's way of tweaking the drivers to sound like what the average result of lots of lots of people's aditioning results as and to me a slightly bassier M80 with better highs extension is exactly what I search
2. AKG K267 - This headphone captures my interest due to design & features, it just ticks them all in those aspects, very comfy looking pads and suitable size and 3-setting bass level adjustment
3. Sony MDR-1R - I love the design personally, the closeup shots looks better than the normal ones IMO and the FR graph I already saw of it looks very interesting, maybe slightly too little subbass out of box but nothing which my digiZoid ZO shouldn't be able to take care of, otherwise the mids & highs very exactly balanced the way I'm looking for and has suitable midbass presence in the FR graph
4. Sony XB900 - I'm really a sucker for previous Sony XB series for the price, they are arguably some of the best price/performance serious basshead offerings out there. I like what I see in the design, ditched poor cup materials for a much better one that should result in less resonant bass and the FR of XB900 looks quite promissing with a 10dB or so bass boost which is more reasonable than 15dB previously but for me the midrange might be slightly too recessed for my liking.
5. Sennheiser Momentum - I've never been a huge fan of Sennheiser but I still have faith in their engineers and the design does look great and very durable
