I'm also part of the quickly growing group of people interested in a pre-production pair.

monstercable.com/outletstore   These are refurbished beats. Probably the cheapest real ones you'll find.   Edit- Oh wow I didn't realize this thread was from 2011, my bad.

I'm very curious about these and the V-Moda M100s. I'll be interested to see comparisons when the M100s are released.

Hey Head-fi,         I recently purchased V-Moda M-80s as my portable can when going to and from school. And I really love them. They sound awesome and in that regard, I couldn't be happier. The only problem is the isolation. I take the subway in NYC every day to school so it gets noisy...

White M-80s. That sounds amazing. Can't wait to see how those end up looking.

I can vouch for the wonderful V-Moda M80s. The durability on these things is insane. Easily portable and they sound great. Only thing is they don't have the best isolation. It's something to consider for sure if you're taking public transportation a lot or even expect to be in a noisy...

Man I cannot wait for this. Thanks for constantly updating us and responding to our questions Val!

Darn I should've waited a few weeks to buy my M-80s. Could've saved a good 40 bucks. Needless to say I'm still quite happy with my purchase and have been using my M-80s daily for a couple weeks now and absolutely love them. Can't wait for the M-100!

Just to continue the Beats brought me to Head-fi thing:   The first decent headphones I got were some 60 dollar Sony headphones. In retrospect they were probably not very good but I loved them at the time. But after about a year they were falling apart and eventually I lost them, presumably...

Man I won't have the money for another week and a half or so for those Miles Davis IEMs. I really hope the sale is still going on by then.

Quote: Haha. Funny enough that's exactly what i did. I showed him the pretty crazy ways you can stretch and contort them. He was pretty surprised and he knows if he tried to bend his studios even 10% as much as you can with the M-80s, his studios would break.  

Quote: Probably a variety of reasons. I guess it was a mixture of them not being as aesthetically pleasing as Beats (his opinion, not mine) and them being smaller on ear headphones, not overly flashy.  

A friend of mine got Studios, but hey he likes them so I wasn't going to say much. I tried em and they were alright. I didn't think they were bad just worth nowhere near $300. He saw me with the M-80s I just got yesterday and asked me what they were. I told him they were the new headphones I was...

I have Beats Pro right now but was looking to sell them. I'm hoping to get a more portable headphone. I listen to a lot of post hardcore metal but a little dubstep and some pop. But 90% nu-metal and post hardcore stuff. Are these headphones for me? They look awesome and I hear great things about...

So let's say I did purchase the Denon D5000s. If my music is in the 256kbps, will that be an issue? is it worth buying these headphones if all my music is this quality?

Just a quick question:   I always see people on head-fi talking about the quality of the music you're listening too. As far as I understand FLAC is a lossless type that is ideal. I've been downloading all my music off iTunes and wanted to know what the quality is like on those. And if it is...

Well this is clearly not the right place to ask this, but I didn't think making a new thread would be the right thing either so I'll just ask here. I always se people on head-fi talking about the quality of the music you're listening too. As far as I understand FLAC is a lossless type that is...

So I'm assuming a portable amp is one you can hook up to your ipod and can take on the go. Does the D5000 require an amp?

I should have mentioned I got my Pros from the Monster Cable outlet store refurbished so they were certainly not counterfeit.   This is very nooby but I really don't understand the concept of headphone amps. Can someone explain what they do, can I use them wiht an iPod on the go, and when I...

  Thanks for the replies. Do those require an amp?

How's it going Head-Fi. I bought Beats Pro just a while ago. Don't kill me! I know that's not the best decision especially around these parts, but if it makes you feel any better, I got em for 200. The only other decent headphones I had were the Sony NC40 years back. So I was actually very happy...

Someone at my school was trying to sell HD598s. I asked him to send me pictures and the pictures he sent were of a black headphone. I asked him about that and he said that there is a black model which he purchased. I was under the impression they only came in beige. Can someone clarify this? Do...

Quote:   Well interestingly enough, the article seems to contradict which Beats he got the team. They mention the Noise Cancelling properties referring to the Studios but when they talk about the capability of connecting to each other, they're clearly talking about the Pros. And the...

Well I'm pretty sure Studios leak quite a bit but perhaps I'm wrong about that. You said you're interested in Beats Pro. If you end up going for those you should get them off http://www.monstercable.com/outletstore/linelist.asp . They're refurbished but 200 bucks cheaper.

Alright so my mom wants a new set of headphones. I told her I could help her find a good, cheap pair of headphones. The most important thing about these headphones is they must isolate outside noise decently. She's going to be listening to her iPod in the car while my dad plays the radio so she...
