I really hope you are correct, must admit most of the mock ups I've seen still show a socket. Still I do wonder how the rumour got started. For me Apple have been consistent in providing a decent source in the convenience of a phone, few other manufacturers can boast that.

I have seen several rumours that the soon to be released iPhone 6 may not have a headphone socket built in. Personally I think that this would be a bad mistake. I've waited years for an iphone with a decent sized screen and now this! Just have to stick with Android I guess, where does that...

Hmmm not many people heard the m100 then! Ok let's try another way ;) given the sound signature I like in my first post which of these would you pick and why? Hifiman RE400 Klipsch X10i Klipsch X7i RHA MA750i Shure SE215 Yamaha EPH100 Feel free to suggest any other I might have missed...

It's about time I spent some more money so can anyone who's heard the M100 recommend an IEM with a similar sound? For anyone who has not heard the M100 this is how I perceive their sound: Bass - powerful, extended, fast, quite prominent. Mids - clear, spacious (for a closed design) neither...

What did you have before, or what did you use to listen to music, what type of music and sound do you prefer? What type of headphones/earphones are you/will you be using? A lot depends on your expectations.

Having owned the 4s and tried the S3 at great length, of the two I would prefer the 4s, though S3 was good as well. I haven't tried the others but unless there is a specific reason you don't mention it, I would highly recommend the HTC One which I am currently using and in my opinion is at least...

I dug out my ancient Etymotic er6i iem's to try with the One. They sound absolutely fantastic with Beats on. Finally I have found a source that suits them. I think the beats circuitry lifts them, hey if it works! I have tried these iem's with a Creative Zen, iPod 5g, iPhone 3GS, iPod shuffle...

If the Nexus is louder than the Nexus 4 you may be ok, I would start off just buying the headphones as they're still going to sound good, then if necessary, add an amp.

I bought a Nexus 4 and found that to drive the M-100 to anything like a reasonable volume I needed it at between 80 and 100% volume and even then I could have tolerated louder. I found that the sound quality was not great either with recessed highs and fat but loose bass. I got rid for that...

Quite a few people have comfort issues with the M-100 however, I have a fairly large head (I won't say a big head!) hat size 7 5/8" (US 7 3/4") and I wear Oakley glasses (straight arm like your IC Berlins I guess) all the time. I can wear the M-100 for 2 hours easily before feeling slight...

I wouldn't necessarily agree, I understand that equipment can add a degree of bias (coloration if you like), but as with speakers they surely don't 'create' their own notes, to do so would result in a chaotic output. Are you saying that the M-100 (or any other headphone for that matter) can...

I find this idea interesting; presumably like any audio equipment the headphone cannot create a frequency that wasn't present in the original mix? This must mean the sound engineer intended it to be heard. Given this, could it not be argued that the M-100 bring out bass that other headphones...

Does this mean Apple are going to start carrying V-Moda products then? In the UK AFAIK they don't.

If you can try listening to a balanced mono (rather than stereo) source. If one ear still sounds quieter you've probably got a problem. The M-100 has unusually good placing IMO so if you're not used to it or are using a low bitrate file you can think there's a problem when there isn't. I had a...

I still don't get this, if I go to a gig or concert, classical included I hear deep extended bass. In fact at every rock/pop/metal gig it's the dominant part of the sound. This is also what I want from a headphone, if you like a live sound. To me a good studio recording also captures this...
