    Yet another noob asking which headphones to buy

    first i agree with tyll.   also, another option would be noontec zoro HD, which comes from a China manufacturer and is going only for fifty something.   by comparison, m80 has an outstanding sub bass, while zoro offers a decent midrange. by and large, m80's build quality is far more...

    Quote: it just comes to my knowledge that the HD model is already out.   Quote: i doubt that it can surpass m-80 for it is only going for fifty something in US dollars in China, where it is genuinely given birth.   though i have got to admit its Performance/Cost is undeniably high.

    Looking for a pair of noise cancelling headphones for all genres.

    Quote: I just got to see someone in sennheiser mm 550-x earlier today. it can be considered a cutting edge ascoutic gadget when incorporeated with Apt-X and ANC.   it makes me really envious that you can get to find out the difference between wire and Apt-X before me.

    Metallic theme California Headphones, any opinions?

    Quote: when it comes to vibration issue, it reminds me of Fidelio S2 which allegedly claims its metal housing is meticulously engineered to reduce resonance and vibration. so is it really true that metallic shells have a genetic edge over others?

    Looking for a pair of noise cancelling headphones for all genres.

    in my opinion, noise canceling for Bose qc 15 is unsurpassed.   sound quality is basiclly superb across the entire range, particularly at bass level.   the only shortcoming though is that it becomes totallly retired either when the battery is out or anc is switched off.
