I'm CRAZY about having centered sound. I was frustrated for over a month owning the M80 because I thought my left side was louder than my right side... Eventually I got used to it. Maybe there wasn't a problem after all. I still find them slightly uncomfortable. They don't sit flat on my...

I've recently acquired an M-80 from a fellow Head-Fier, and I have to say -- I'm thoroughly impressed. In comparison to my ATH-M50 (white box): -The build quality and feel is much more "premium" feeling -It seems to have a little more bass. It goes deeper and seems more controlled. -I'm...

Quote: The Ultrasones are known for being great with EDM and bassier genres. They should have a more "club"-type sound. I have the ATH-M50 but I plan on getting rid of it soon. I thought it sounded decent, but it is the most uncomfortable headphone I've ever worn. Even cheap Skullcandy...

Quote:   Sounds like the ATH-M50's situation - people always say they have huge bass, but as it turns out that's not the case at all. Thanks for clearing things up. And OP, I think we may have a winner here! Ding ding ding. Not sure if I'd invest in an amp for the DT770. Is it worth...

Quote:   These are great recommendations. Exactly the list I had in mind. However, it seems that a lot of people consider the DT770 a very bassy can, so keep that in mind. But if your issue is with muddiness, I don't think you'll have any problems with them. The HFI 580 is fantastic...

Ahh, the PX200-II. To be very honest, I thought they sounded boring at first. As it turns out, I enjoy more of a "fun" signature. But then again, I only had them for a few weeks before I broke the plug (sat down and yanked the cord). That made me sad. Although I thought they sounded...

I have the ATH-M50, and here are some genuine observations: 1. They do offer a decent amount of passive isolation. Hardly any noise leaks out and not too much goes in. However, I took them on a plane and they didn't fare very well in isolating the noise. I had to crank the volume up...

Thanks for your impressions on the M6 Sorry to hear about the comfort issues because I think they're pretty comfortable already. What I really DON'T like about them is the lack of a mesh cover to prevent debris from falling through the nozzle. It's a simple but irritating overlook in my...

I saw a guy with a black Senn PX100. I also saw a guy with those cheap white Sony portables.

Thanks for the comprehensive review, loving the pictures too I've been tempted to get these for quite some time, but I've been a bit concerned about the bass. I already know the HD 25-1 II has more bass impact, but how might the M-80 fare against it? Is it fun to listen to, or is it too flat...

Quote: Very small, actually. Every time I saw somebody wearing headphones, I whipped out my iPod and recorded the headphone on the note app. I may have missed one or two during conversations, but they were probably Beats. They're so common that they don't really catch my eye anymore...

I recently got back from a 2-week program at USC (University of Southern California). While I was there, I tried to record as many headphone sightings as I could. Here goes:   At the airport (departure): 1 white ATH-M50 1 unidentified   On the plane: 1 Bose QuietComfort 15 1...

None other than the well-known ATH-M50. Here's why:   1. I find them far too uncomfortable. I even ordered new pads because I thought that was the problem, but apparently not. I stretched them for days and it seems that nothing has helped. There's always an unpleasant pressure near the...

Have you considered or heard of the V-MODA Crossfade M-80? It seems to be a good match for you. Here's some features: >$200 on Amazon, prices can get lower >On-ear, portable >Comes with a hard exoskeleton case >Detachable cable, comes with extras >Remote/mic cable >Cable is made...
