I wonder what this means for UE? Hopefully cheaper customs Logitech snaps up Ultimate Ears, chasing this "portable audio" market we've heard so much about - Engadget

If one of your requirements is that you like Bass get the HD650's they are a fun headphone. If you are a true audiophile and like to hear your recordings the way they were ORIGINALLY recorded get the K701's. The K701's have a sound stage that the HD650's wish it had, while the positive for...

honestly go take a listen to the Martin Logan's that have a self contained amplifier and all you need to do is hook in a source. I think they are called "purity". It sounds better than ANY headphone setup I have heard and can be had for $3000 brand new.
