Actual spatial distance to different objects in the perception of sounds while wearing headphones would be more dependent on the method of recording used, such as binaural recordings. I find it concerning when so many people have such a wide varying perception of "soundstage" for the exact same...

Okay dude, bought these. Just for background I've owned ATH-PRO700MK2 and the ATH-M50s and also Ultrasones HFI-580 (loved those).  Let me just say that to me personally, these are absolutely the best headphones I've owned. The clarity seems somehow to be a step above any of the aforementioned...

I heard some people asking about similar sound quality in same price-range. I've had Bose IE2, Bose AE2, and the quiet comforts (XXX-299$). I've had the DT770s and ATH-MD50s. I recently just bought the PRO700MK2 (which I cannot convey ENOUGH how disappointing those are). Even against all...

Ah forgot to mention the Fiio E11 that looks good too... 

I cannot thank you enough for the incredibly detailed and well articulated answer. I really mean it. I feel a little more confident in what I believe I want to do. I will respond with a little extra information and clarification as you requested.  The headphones I use are HFI-580s and I know...

I've spent hours and hours perfecting EQ on the HFI-580 for semi-bass heavy electronic or dance dubstep type music. Please give feedback if anybody tries it out as they are just MINDBLOWING when properly EQ'd. 

I believe the M-100 is Full-Sized over the ear...could be wrong tho

Yehppp PRO700MK2s are AWESOME

Hey everyone im just wondering if these headphones (PRO700MK2) are more "FUN" and "WARM" than the MD50, which I look forward to returning. the MD50s did blow my freakin skull with really loud music while i was drunk which was nice (one night stand). HOWEVER I want something MUCH more bass in...
