Question about the fit: how tightly do the M500s clamp? I've read that it's a light clamp, and that concerns me because I have a smaller than average head. For reference, I really like the SQ of my M-80s, but I just can't hold on to them any longer because of the fit (clamp is a little too...

Well, my Matte Blacks arrived Friday. That was just a tease as I went on a short weekend trip and left them at the house, got to experience the Bass Freqs though in the car and I'm pleased with them...I've only used earbuds and never used IEMs before and thought I would hate them. Turns out IEMs...

V Moda M80

Well, I finally bit the bullet. Just ordered Matte Black M-100s with an extra pair of Gunmetal shields, got the 2 free sets of Bass Freq headphones as well. Finally accepted that the M-100s simply provide a better overall package than pretty much anything else out there. Nothing offers as many...

Quote: Dude, they're over-ear. It's not even close. Just look at pics of them on people's heads. The cups are larger than my KRK KNS 8400's cups, which are also fully over-ear.

Whelp, I'm calling it quits until next year. The M100s were highest on my radar, until I've finally read enough to determine that instead of making an even more balanced M80 with better mids (my biggest complaint about the M80s), we've just got more bass and mids that still won't do enough for...

Quote: DT 770s are most definitely over-ears.

I don't have the M-100s yet...been holding off because I'll be getting Windows 8 on my laptop as well as a nifty touch mouse/touchpad peripheral for it, saving my headphones purchase for the end of the year. But I have similar thoughts about the AKGs: the design is more flexible, the adjustable...

Thanks for the info BRS. I'm now finally down to just the AKGs and the M-100s. I finally could rule out the Sonys once I discovered that the NC cost $500.

Oh man, I am so indecisive...   So recently I posted that I've been thinking that I'll go with Shadow M-100s (after first thinking I would do white), and now I'm back to liking white more. I know, I know, good pictures of both have been available for some time, why can't I decide? Well...

Quote: M-80s are like 180 grams while M-100s are like 260+ grams lol.

After flirting with the idea of white M-100s, I think I've come full circle back to Shadow. They're just so signature with the gunmetal shields, red accents, and suede headband. And the white are just too flashy for me. 

It's been a long time since I've been in this thread, the good thing is that it appears things are closer than ever and the new pics are excellent. I'm excited because I just picked up a 2.1 computer speaker setup that delivers great clarity, it will make it much easier for me to let go of my...

^You mean on-ears.
