Shure 1540 do look very nice, but unfortunately they are not available on the european market (except 2 stores where they retail at 500 euro, that's almost 690 USD), and they are a bit expensive even from the US. I would pay them 380 euro, that's in the budget, but shipping + duty fees would...

i want to go with a pair of cans that don't need an amp to sound at least good as i don't like having too much stuff in my pockets, that's the same reason i went with m80 last time i had to choose a ew pair of cans.   i mean, on the go i listen to mp3 320kbps, good quality etc, but being on...

Yes i just finished reading your link. For me noise cancelling is not a must have as i never stay for too long in a very loud environement, plus i like to hear what's happening around me. Good isolation is ok, noise cancelling not an issue if missing. I'm very curious about the PSB m4u1 VS...

Thanks again for your replies !   So it's for sure that the PSB m4u is a high end headphone.   I also read that the m4u1 should be slighlty better than the reviewed model in the comparison because of the noise cancelling feature that is absent. Is that true that cans with active noise...

Thanks a lot guys, i'm reading the reviews right now. In the mean time, what would you say about the PSB M4U 1 ? I read some good reviews, but can't be sure how they compare to let's say vmoda M80, NAD Viso HP50, akg 550 and bower P7 ?

Hi and thanks for the reply well, i see a huge difference in the prices of the listed cans (and the ones i listed) So i would like to ask pro/cons for every one, so i can choose the best bang for the buck. no sony-sennheiser ? ah also, i forgot to mention : portability is not a big issue...

Hey guys I'm looking for a new pair of over the ears as my v700dj broke again. So... as i'm used to vmoda m80, v700dj and xb500 I will say that i am looking for a quality headphone. There is no intention in sacrificing sound quality, i want to stay on the same level or get a step higher...

primary use would be working out, as my earpods fit well but if i start working out they don't stay in place for a long time   for other daily uses i still have m80, earpods, xb500 and v700dj. i may use them in the subway and during the summer when (with earpods) when putting on a headphone...

Thank you :) unfortunately there is again the market problem, i can only find them on ebay (wich is fine for me)   the m9 would cost me 30 euro shipped from uk the she3590 at 12-14 euro shipped (brand new with italian warranty) the mdr ex10lp 9-11 euro shipped (brand new italian...

after two months using the m80's i can only say WOW very very good quality headphones, i only use theese now most of the time. very high sound quality and clairity, the blow away xb500's and are quite comparable to mdr v700dj, but a little better quality wise.   for what i payed them...

after listening them for some days, without touching the xb500 i just listened both on some different music tracks and styles... well i have to say that even if xb500 is a really great pair of cans, m8 just rocks in almost everything... even the basses... the sound clairity is comparable to...

the bass is punchy but not extreme, mids and highs are very well balanced. sound is nice, after approx 10 hours    isolation if you put just the cans on without music is not there at all... but when music is playing at the lowest volume possible with my ipod shuffle i can't hear anything at...

just received m80's, listend them for 20 mins, it's not a lot of time, but as first impression theese cans are great. bass is really good and present while general quality is also at high levels compared to xb500. will listen more and update, for now i am very satisfied   bump for iems

ah damn, if the don't fit properly than they're out of the list...   m80 hopefully will be delivered in the morning (10 hours away, before the argageddon  eheh) i will test them immediately and listend the for a few hours and compare to my v700dj and xb500    i have big expectations...

hey :) actually yes, i read something but not too much. the look good, but budget wise they will cost me around 40 euro, so the question is, are they better than all the other iems in the list ?  also... does someone know if the new apple earbuds are good or not ?
