IMO everything will come back to money 

Well IMO to match the portability of the consoles, you should get pair of IEMs. And generally, in gaming, you either want a little extra bass response to feel the explosions and a wide soundstage depending on your preferred genre. 

    Quote: I spy an Inception reference? XD   I'd love to try the HD650 and HD600 on decent setups. But living in Australia, there's no chance. Would the 650 be as dark as, say, the ESW9? 

Hi! 

I would also like to see some comparisons of these. 

Bump?

Are there any noticeable changes to the sound? Also, the d12 is better sonically and power-wise than both the d4 and the d10 right? Thanks.

Any ideas on how this amp would sound with the SA6 and ESW9?

I vote for the ESW9's too. They are the best portables IMO, only surpassed by the ESW10 in both looks and sound. But then again, YMMV. ESW9's are coloured and mid centric. 

What if I changed the question to: How do both of these amps colour the sound? Make it warmer? Tone down the bass? Etc...   thanks.

Hi everyone,   I've recently bought a ESW9 and SA6. I'm running them through my iPod touch and plugged directly into my onboard Realtek ALC888. The main purpose of the amp/dac that I am trying to buy is to improve the sound of my computer as much as possible for around $240. It would be nice...

I have the PL30 and can tell you for sure that they are not bass heavy. They do sound good overall for the price though. Can't speak for the rest though. 

Does anyone know if UM will remould a pair of SA6's? And has anyone done it? How does it sound? 

Wow. That's quite high praise  I agree that the SA6 needs a bit, ok a lot, more bass impact. Not sure about treble. I've never been good at discerning the differences in treble unless its night and day. Alright I shall check out your reviews. Thanks.

Has anyone compared the Turbine Gold to the SA6? Would it be an upgrade to go from the SA6 to the Turbines?

The srh840 and m50 are a bit big for portable use rnt they? In Australia the ESW9 can only be had for $400 :( Considering the ES7 :) any more recommendations? :)

I've been searching for hours and hours for days and days trying to find the right portable headphone for me and I've had no success. Soo that's why I've come to you guys  Well basically, I'm looking for a pair of portable headphones that can fulfil most, if not all of my criteria as follows...

How do these compare with the Ultrasone line? Specifically the hfi 780. Can't find information anywhere comparing these.

Awaiting your review =]

Haha yeaa! But what about the rest of my post lol.

After a bit of thought, I think the m50 is a bit too big. Will most likely go for the MS400. But before I do, are there any other recommendations that are around the same price, look good and have a similar bass emphasising sound signature? Would the ESW9 make a good portable headphone? I've...

OK. thanks. Really close to buying. Few just a few things I have to clear up first.   What are the dimensions of the inside of the earcups? Hoping they're big enough to be circum-aural.
