Quote: I'm now almost sold... price being equal... would you pick the WS99 or M-100?

Can anyone chime in on how well the WS99 handles non-EDM music?  90% of the music I listen to is EDM, and the rest is various music I deem "good."  How would they handle something like Colbie Caillat?   I understand they are a "solid bass" headphone, with a greater emphasis on *quality* of...

I'm just about to buy a pair of these guys, as a sort of Christmas present to myself. They will surely be the 32 ohm version, as they will be driven off a 5G iPod 99% of the time. My question is regarding their noise cancellation/isolation. I will be using these "out in the world" in downtown...

I know that 32 ohm headphones will seem "louder" when driven from an iPod. The differences in volume between my 21 ohm UE 5pro's and my 64 ohm HD-280's are night and day. But sonically there isn't much noticeable difference in the 32 ohm DT880 to the 250 ohm, are there?

I'm glad this thread was posted, as I was about to post one asking nearly the same question. Can anyone come up with a reason I would not want to buy the 32 ohm DT880? They will be driven off a 5G iPod 99% of the time.

If its too loud, you're too old!!! Ha ha.. Just kidding.. in my defense... I don't blast it all the time, but sometimes *that" song comes on and you just have to scratch that "live sound" itch.

I've had my super.fi 5pro's for about 6 months now and I am still loving them. One thing though, I find myself listening to them a lot louder now than I did when I first got them. At first, I feel like I used them to their intended purpose. I listened to them at a reasonable volume (50-60%...

If you ask me, 128k AAC is more than adequate for a portable player. I have ripped several CD's into both Apple Lossless and 128k AAC and I can't hear the difference. Don't think there is anything wrong with your ears, just revel in having more music to pick from on the go.

Yes! Removing them makes a huge sonic difference! With them out they can pass 0.0000000017 CFM more air and this allows them to be more "balanced", "neutral", and especially "airy'! Seriously though... I can't imagine such a minute change having any affect on the sound, regardless of what...

You should get the be all, end all Bose Triport! Seriously though, out of the choices given, I would go for the HD595's. They are remarkably comfortable and you'll soon forget they're on your melon. They have most of the Sennheiser "magic" found in the higher models at a lower price. Advice...

the SiK din cable is designed to be used with a headphone amp, right? It is a fixed signal coming out?
