Also, is there a major difference in SQ between the reference one's and the image one's?

How about the Panasonic HTF-600's with Beyerdynamic velour pads.

Also take a look at the V-Sonic GR06, which is only $62 on ebay. If you could go up $20 you could get the GR07's for about $120. Both are great options.

I'd also take look at the SRH-440's with the SRH-840 pads if portability isn't absolutely necessary. I've also heard good reviews on the Panasonic HTF-600's with Beyerdynamic velour pads.

Has anyone actually tested both side-by-side? I really want to know how they compare

I'm looking for Headphones, but have you tested the V-Moda's against the other headphones?

It really depends on the individual phone, but if your phone supports the installation of the Voodoo sound kernel, than you should install i because it vastly improves the overall SQ of the player.

Hello Everybody!    It's been a while since I've posted here. I'm having trouble deciding which headphones to buy. I have already purchased the SRH-440s, V-Moda Vibe, and the Klipsch Image S4's. Unfortunately, my pets have gotten to mangling both the S4's and the Vibes, leaving the 440's as...

The reason I went with the SRH-440's was because I heard great reviews on them and the only con was mainly a slight lack of bass. Also I could get them for about $70. They are better than the M40FS. But if you have the money, I think you should get the M50's and maybe the ATH-A700's, because I...

Oh, I guess I can't get Grado's then, because I work and commute around pretty irratable people, so I need a pair of closed cans. I guess I may get the SRH-440's

Hey, thanks for the link. And i saw the MS-1's but i can never find them on the internet. Also, I heard they leak, but i could use it if its not excessive.

but i think im gonna try it because i heard it was comfortable

Ya but i've heard it brings up the bass it becomes duller and really bass-oriented afterwards

Thanks, I think i'm sort of leaning towards the SRH440's. They are also more aesthetically pleasing than the MDRV6's. I like how they both have the coiled cable.
