Quote: Hater's gonna hate. HFI-580's beat the crap out of all the SC's I've tried  

yessss

Quote: I've listened to all three. M50 had potential, but I'm guessing needed amplification for bass knock. I A/B'ed the crossfades with my 580's.. wasn't a fan. Dark, warm sound with not much bass. Super comfy though

Quote: BHphotovideo has them for 119 shipped. Problem is, they run out of stock quick =]

Quote: hahahaha, "generally" ...

Quote:   Dude, I'm considering scoring a 558. I really want to experiment with open cans- specifically ones that seem as different as possible when contrasted with my HFI-580's
