Please anyone. Don't buy beats, unless you like paying $150> for overpriced plastic with drivers.

Having had those IEM's.. first of all have you your music in Apple Lossless or at least CD ripped AAC?   If you do, then please replace those IEM's which I consider to be overpriced and very dim on the mid and high frequencies.   I could recommend some ATH Ck55's, or some Sony PIIQ's :)

I gave my V6's to my dad (had them for over 3 years).   Having the ATH-m50s which are around that $ area.. I would recommend blindly for you to update.   Better closed back headphones, with punchier and lively bass. I'd describe them to having close to a V shaped EQ.   They also have...

Bose is not quality built. Its a perception rather than a fact.   Even if money is not an issue and you are going for cool looking headphones or what not. Bose is not the way.

I love my d3100 though I can already feel the need for a bigger aperture lens (my 3.5-5.6 18-55mm is not particularly good for low light.. also adding that the camera can barely focus if there's little to no light.   I am not yet good enough at manual focusing. So this is a hassle.

I didn't really notice the difference in sound quality with either of my cans vs iPhone or S2

Yeah by Usher and Lil' Jon   DAT BASS.. well and the constrant with the high frequency hi-hats? or claps.   Its my benchmark song :)

I liked them a lot when I listened to them.. but they seemed a bit harsh to my taste.

I would have thought they'd work OK.. but I don't really know that much

They do look great :)

I have ATH-m50s and I think I like the sound signature on them better than the 598s.. specially when it comes to bass.. it puts the 598's to shame.   Maybe they are simply not tailored to my music tastes.. what do you guys think?

Would anyone here recommend me getting the modification done on the SP ATH m50s.. getting me the same ath m50s with a detachable cable and threaded locking connector ?   Either for better usage, sound or more long lasting/repairable headphones??

So, I guess knowledge is a private resource as no one wants to give an honest opinion to us uneducated ones, for you I'll include this link   http://www.headfonia.com/the-upgrade-fiio-e17-alpen/ A kinda in depth review of the e17 vs everything else.
