So I've had a pair of Q701s for a fair while, and like to let my family listen to it. My mother was pretty impressed with it when I first demoed them with an E17. She could tell they were better, but the cost probably still wasn't worth it to her.   Fast forward to more recently: I had just...

Quote: Exactly the pair I got, I was tempted to try the M31, but I figure they're going to family, so I wouldn't open them.

Only half of the MS 400s sold, wow. I actually have a pair at the moment, I like the way they sound, seem like a low-end bump with vocals seeming a little recessed? Typing from memory. I'm sending my pair in for repair, the stress relief separated from the jack, but even though mine's...

Ooof. The 681 Evo look so amazing. IF they keep the sound quality at least as high, and have them look that good, while keeping them reasonably priced? I may start throwing them at people.  

I bum around in the basement of my comp sci building with a bunch of Math and CS majors. I had some of them listen to my Phiaton MS400's. I now have one friend mad at me because he can't spend that much on headphones (suggested PortaPros), and another who'll probably be buying them from me. Success?

Quote: Okay! This is what I'd like to hear. This makes them go from "this doesn't quite fit the signature I was expecting" to "these could be pretty good". I found that the MC5 didn't have much in the way of impact no matter how well I fit it in, so the little bump in bass as well as...

Quote: Just a name? No reasoning or explanation, or discussion of suggestions made for me? I'm fairly interested in finding rather neutral headphones, and I'm not sure that's what I'm looking for.

I'm looking for some transportable (somewhat portable? I'll wear HD280s around in public) cans around $100-150, ordering from in the US. I've been recommended so far the M50s (and the LE, since people argue whether or not they ended up sounding different), the AKG K271s, and the NVX XPT100 (a...

Has expired now.

This was a great help to me. Perhaps you'd like to make a minor update to the value of the MEE M6, though, as they're now approximately $22 on Amazon.
