@JamesFiiO Hey, did we have a rough ETA for the red leather case for the M9? :)

Haha, they're great cans for the budget price you pay (even better when you slap some HM5 earpads on them). Have a look on YouTube and the discussion thread for them, heaps of info, but most people rate them quite highly :)

Just bought a set of these over the V-Moda XS/M100.    I made a good decision. 

Oh dear...Just when I nearly settled for the XS, a new competitor joins the party...    I'm just kidding, thanks for that. Yeah, I had a search around for T51i's just before. Tempting...Very tempting...   EDIT: What's the headphone hair like for the T51i?

    Thanks heaps for those responses, guys! Exactly what I was after, and in a bit more depth, so that's much appreciated!    The headphone hair sounds more desirable with the XS right now, since it leaves a smaller footprint as opposed to the other two. I remember when owning the M100's...

Actually, more to the point, I might be leaning more to the XS right now for it's portability. I suppose this will leave me with one question...(wrong thread to ask now...) Approximately at what volume level on let's say, your typical android phone (0-100), would the sound begin to leak, and...

Yeah, I have heard that the M100 are probably more suited for my use and sound signature preference, but at the same time (continue below) having something portable that sits around the neck without being too bulky, is also appreciable.    I really don't know right now, ahaha...Really...

Between the XS and the M100, which one would you say has better clarity? And also, for library use for example, which would you recommend between the two?

For someone who has owned the M100's before, it has been a long while, and I have a few inquiries to make in regards to it.    I know it has probably been done like 100 million times, but for someone who is after a set of headphones that has good isolation (so no one can hear what I'm...

Quite an interesting design that one! And I had a quick read also. :) Seems like a pretty decent contender !

Thought I'd slip back into the audiophile game after being away from it for a good few months.   Ordered these cans on Catch of The Day in Australia for $73 shipped, so I thought that was a pretty good deal, as opposed to the original $200 I saw on eBay, back when I started this thread.  ...

Just got the new HM5 pads in the colour brown, and they are some comfy pads for the SHL3300! Also great for the sound too!

Looking forward to your first impressions. :)

    Interesting. Thanks for that. Would you guys say that it would be worth having both to complement each other?    And also, ozkan, did you say that the VSD3S would sound more veiled as opposed to the IM50? Because if the VSD3S is supposedly veiled-sounding, then I think I'm going to...

Quality picture. Love the bokeh effect that you're rocking in the background. :) 

Those pictures are stunning, Lachlan!

So...Where can one acquire these pads?

Looks sexual. I dig it.

Cheers, mate.    Quote: :) Thanks man.   Off to the Mid-Fi thread you go, my friend! :)

No worries, mate. :) 

The carbon fibre skin for the X1 came with the unit, and the one I used for the KC06 as well as the background, was some "4D Carbon Fibre Vinyl Wrap" I found on eBay. Give that a search, and hopefully they should sell it near you.

Going back to basics.   FiiO X1 & Ostry KC06 (...with an overdose of carbon-fibre!)  

+1 How do you also find the depth of the pad? And can I grab a link for the pads if possible?
