AIAIAI TMA-1
Do they have a facility near you? In the few times I've dealt with them, they have been very helpful. At the very least, they would charge you a rate more reasonable than having it shipped from overseas.- aleki

AIAIAI TMA-1
The curves definitely are all over the place; but one thing I've noticed is the drivers perform exactly the same. Arguably, final sound is shaped from the cushion materials, which is where I think the contradictory graphs originate, and cup design. That said, I find the Capitals sound very...- aleki

Incase any of you have the TMA-1, just thought you should know that the pads work; no sennheiser mod necessary :-)- aleki

V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.
Just thought to chime in here: I've been using the M-100's exclusively on my runs; they've been through a couple of hundred miles in dripping sweat.. Despite their routinely salted drenching, these headphones have yet to leave behind a stink; in fact, they still have that relatively new scent...- aleki

V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.
Quote: I found that to be the other way around. Not only were they incredibly uncomfortable after 20 minutes of wear, but with the way they fit my ears, some outside noise actually seemed to sound amplified if you are in a place like a coffee shop. The M-100's are marginally worse than...- aleki

V-MODA M-100: Discussion/Feedback, Reviews, Pics, etc.
Quote: That's hilarious. The only thing I disliked about the LP's was the bloaty, prominent bass. I actually preferred the mids of the LP's over the M-100's. I'll have to call my friend back to see if he still has those headphones with him- aleki

Quote: Whenever a new product comes out, I find it's important to pay close attention to the more critical impressions. Not to say the people raving about a product should be dismissed; but I find enthusiasm affects judgment. That said, my enthusment for the V-80's continue- aleki

AIAIAI TMA-1
Try VModa's before you get these. The M-100's has accentuated, but inoffensive treble, bass slam has great texture and extends deep. The M-80's are the more "reference" sounding of the two, but still has a very engaging signature. The bass has more impact than the M-100's, but extension isn't as...- aleki

Quote: Yea, that guy totally missed the point with these headphones; it's almost like he was given both a day before the podcast and based his impressions on amazon reviews. I have to say, though, the name of their website seems quite indicative to the density of their content- aleki

Quote: It's a pretty fekking awesome SC. It drives HD650's as well as my more expensive receivers, and exchangeable opamps makes it super easy to influence the sound signature. Although I should warn: if your PC is prone to bus bleed, some external amps will pick up motherboard chatter...- aleki

V-moda M100 or M80
Quote: To be honest, if you're looking to get the M-100 sound, you're better off just buying it from the beginning. I never attempted to EQ the M-80's while I had the M-100 (since I preferred the warmth and midrange), but bass tightness of the M-100's may be virtually impossible to EQ in...- aleki

V-moda M100 or M80
Quote: See, I think there's just so much uptalk in the M-100 thread, that critical reviews get overshadowed. I've given the M-100's a fair shakedown back in October, and I honestly wasn't all that impressed with them. Personally, I think the M-80's offer an incredible value by comparison. I...- aleki

Need A Recommendation ~$160 Sennheiser Not A Option
Quote: They'll run you $70 shipped to the US. http://www.jaycar.us/productView.asp?ID=AA2065&keywords=pro+monitor&form=KEYWORD You cant do much wrong with the M-50's either(specially when they can be had for ~$100); but I'm finding more people recommending the Monoprice DJ cans instead.- aleki
