Getting my M3/Mimby in tomorrow to replace my M2/M2 stack, ready to experience the magic of marginal upgrades! (Possibly notable upgrades, given the hype in this thread.)

I hate to bump my own thread, but I feel this message must be spread.

They look the same as mine, white box and everything, and I got mine from a licensed New York dealer. There are slight color discrepancies but that's probably due to the camera's quality.

At first I could only listen 15-30 minutes without making major readjustments, but now I can go for hours without problems most of the time, though some minor readjustments are sometimes needed. I've heard the SRH-840 pads help this problem a lot.

The bass is clear and tight from the get-go. I'm not a believer in burn-in and therefore didn't go for it, but after a period of time of listening to the headphones the bass got stronger for rap/dubstep songs, so some time might do the trick.   Also, your name is ironic. "No Regret", yet you...

Quote:   I have the same version. Bought them from an authorized dealer, it feels and sounds high quality and nothing about them seems fake, so I'm pretty sure they're real. Also, I bought a turntable from Audio-Technica that had a box that looked very similar to the headphone's box, so...

Modest Mouse's album The Lonesome Crowded West is incredible with headphones.

Anyone?

I like my HD201s, but they have a problem that I can't seem to get used to. While one side of the V-shape is straight, the other side curves inward. This causes it to press up against the skin with even the slightest movement, something that has become extremely annoying. I'm not getting used to...

The M50s were very uncomfortable for me for the first two months after buying them, but they get leagues better over time.

If you think they sound similar, don't need isolation and are willing to stand by each of those things, it makes so much sense to return the more expensive (the Bose.) Even if you notice just a slight difference in favor of the Bose, ask yourself if it's a $150 difference.

Quote: I would like to think that, but I've had them for about a month now and have worn them constantly. No improvements.

I love my M50s sound-wise, but I find them impossible to wear for even a short amount of time. There's a pressure point on the headband it seems like, and I get headaches from wearing them. I've stretched them out, and that worked the next time I put them on, but the next day, I had the same...
