Quote: Why dont you just build it yourself? It looks very simple and rewarding. You will also save money and be able to implement upgrades yourself.

Quote:   Woohoo, knew I made the right decision. :) Looking forward to the full comparison.

Quote:   Superior? They cost three times the price! Sound quality is better on the M50 and M80 imo. Try comparing beats pro to other headphones in their price range, they get slaughtered.

Quote:   Disagree, the M80s at least are audiophile quality, in fact V-Moda intended for them to be targeted towards the audiophile community, and they did a very good job may I add.

That's the reason, they're expensive and the actual sound quality you're getting is not even close to the value of the headphones. You're paying for marketing/style and a big B on side of the cups.

Yes agreed. Can't wait for your comparison with the Lyr. I understand both are fantastic pairings with the HD650, I would imagine the final conclusion would come down to preference with neither being superior to the other.

Quote: If it's giving you that impression coming from a Lyr imagine what sort of reaction I'm going to give coming from a Fiio E09 :) Cant wait.

Quote:   I ordered mine on the 25th of Jan still waiting for it to be dispatched (Cant wait!!), I think they are doing a crack shipment this week! I decided to go for the Crack against the Lyr based on the fantastic reviews received about the synergy with the HD650. Let me know your...

Hi take a look at Sony MDR-V55.   Plently of bass, should suit you well for RnB.   http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-MDR-V55-DJ-Stereo-Headphones/dp/B007I1QY5Y/ref=sr_1_30?ie=UTF8&qid=1359299040&sr=8-30   £45 in the UK $72 in the US   Oh and welcome to the UK!!

Quote: Tune!! I've been thinking about purchasing some Dt880's to pair with my HD650s. Do you think they compliment each other quite well?   I've heard that the mids are a bit withdrawn but they have a lot more sparkle than the HD650s?

Thanks for the replys, all recommendations so far look pretty good, I'll have to do some research but the Audio-GD looks interesting. I have considered the HRT II and that bushmaster looks like excellent value for money! Ah! decisions decisions..

Quote: +1 I have used the m80s straight from my iPhone many times and they sound excellent. I have recently purchased an e7. that provides a bit of extra bass but not necessary at all to enjoy the m80s. Also the m80s are built like a tank, very stylish perfect for portable use. Highly...
