Thanks, does anybody else have any input (No offense to Rosmadi Mahmood, but you kinda work for them...)? If you read my 1st post I said I had already saw the pmx vx cx review but those are not the same model as this and thus my thread.  

Short story: Family member bought these for me with his employee discount, my cheapo buds kept breaking (torn cable near the base of the plug)   will be used while running, working out, and walking around campus. listening to audiobooks(80%) and alternative (20%) Extreme isolation is...

Right now I'm thinking about getting the Senn 201s or spending a bit more than getting JVC rx 500s? music 70% gaming 30% Don't like boomy bass Will be used both in dorm as well as around campus so prefer closed with decent isolation while still being comfortable and don't sweat too much...
