I think it depends on the headphone pairing.  I've never listened to a Nexus 4, but you would probably be really surprised at how good FLAC on a Clip is with any portable headphone that MSRPs for under ~$250, e.g. M50, M-80, & I think possibly even your X1.  If you tend to like a lean & clean...

That's a nice deal for brand-new w/ FS.  Even if you already have one of these or the Clip+, it's definitely good to pick up a spare just to have on-hand.  I was feeling pretty silly for awhile having bought both models around the same time, until the socket on my Clip+ suddenly lost all...

He's certainly approachable for hassle-free below-market prices, but I don't see the need in this particular case to squeeze/antagonize a small business vendor for an even lower price on an already-solid deal, especially when it's so clearly specified in the terms that promo codes don't apply to...

Regardless of how great of a deal it is / can be for the average consumer, some people object to Spotify based on principle due to the royalties issue.  That's one of the reasons I stopped using it a couple years ago, among others.

+1 on this - I'd basically assumed it was a given that somebody (Thujone?) would have offered to send theirs to Jerg for the inevitable comparison analysis - if I still had mine, I certainly would have.  It'll probably be more relevant for initial 400i reviews/comparisons, but it wouldn't...

Hey, BP - where do you & others get these buydig CCs from when they're not shown on the product page?  Daily email/newsletter or something?

    It's just you.  The cups are the same size as the previous series, as evidenced by the pads being interchangeable / based on the Jergpad mods.  The radius/diameter of the inside is massive and easily provides ample clearance for ear cartilage as long as you don't have Dumbo ears.  Seems...

Shenay, if you've never tried them, the DT1350s are a joke of a fit for some people - nonexistent pad cushion on an on-ear cup that's way too wide.  Even if you're lucky enough to be well-suited for them sitting still, I can't imagine the seal staying in place while you're working out.  The...

I thought your reaction was because of the weight of these sets - my M-80 w/out the cable only clocked in at 6.6oz (~185g) when I measured it, which is nothing compared to most mid-/hi-fi over-ears.  Once I eventually got brave enough to bend the SteelFlex band on mine to lessen the clamp, I...

If it's the kind where you're 'registering' online, on Newegg's own rebate site, then you should be golden.  Turnaround isn't the fastest, but it's dependable.

  Now that the design change is officially here to stay, the worst part about this for current & former HE-4 owners is that we're going to have to spend the next month seeing reviewers attribute the improved comfort to that stinking thing, knowing it was the weight all along.  I still think...

As an assertion, sounds a little exaggerated, based on the few pics we have to compare.  'De-compressed' and 'at-rest' are a little unclear, too - which do you mean to say is 'on-head' vs. 'off-head'? ^This.

Other than a more matte / less shiny plastic, it seems to have the same shape and ergonomic design as the originals.  Confusing.

    Hm...  Is anybody else confused about the identical headband / underwhelmed by the change in materials?  I thought the headband design was going to be significantly 'reworked'/altered - from this look, it seems like all they did was change from glossy plastic to semi-gloss/satin and...

  Congrats on the launch, Val.  That's a good video spot - for the longtime V-Moda fans, would be really cool to see this or something quite similar on TV sometime in 2014!  I couldn't think of a brand better-suited/-poised to (finally) take a sizable bite out of the stifling general market...
