I have both and they are completely different headphones. I never use my m80s at home, but they are usually my go to set outside the house. 

free super saver shipping to me. In41 thanks :)

Thanks for the response. I will try them when they hit amazon. Really I am in love with the quadbeat1 + comply tips   btw i love the breaking news on the $20 headset battle 

how is the comfort? I find that iems with the angled insertion (AT, Fidelio) can cause some issues if you cant find the right tip/angle. 

I dont know about sound quality, I am sure its better, but will never ever A/B, but the vmoda cables are wonderful + let you control your mobile device with a 1 or 3 button remote built in. I just got the audioequip replacement headband and its a real increase in comfort. I dont know why those...

wow amp/dac with no headphones. I am eagerly awaiting my modi to come in the mail this week 

I got a pair that came with a laptop I just bought. Its very fun clear and nonfatiguing. Its signature is alot like my Hd25i-II. It might replace my m80 at work because of comfort issues.   Bonus... Hesh 2 with vmoda cables are great :)

The S2 is what I think people mean they say musical. It is super easy to get lost in the layers of music. I really feel its the difference between open cans and closed cans, but in iem form. I really love the fit with the comply comfort tips.

Have you tried directly plugging the magni into a grounded wall socket? I've heard that works for some people. Also i got my 75 ohm resistor today, really allows a fine amount of control, have between 7to 12 to play with on the volume knob now. Before it was 7 to 9

for me the e11 really does a good job of separating the instruments + tightens the bass compared to my iphone4s

I wonder how the new Beats studio will compete with the Bose for this specific use case.

I would do that, but I am using a iphone + LOD, it outputs max volume only - I wonder if I can control volume when/if I go with apple CCK + schiit modi

I am streaming iphone>lod>RCA>magni wih my q701, and for some reason eq setting flat is so much better than off. I think iTunes has preset eq on the file if you have eq off, which seems counterintuitive. I don't know if it's the volume decrease, but I've gone from overly bright to more much...

Here is the resistor adapter guide by WiR3D :) http://www.head-fi.org/t/601669/impedance-adapters-cables-explained-listed I bought the one from wemakeamp, its price is now $13 for 1/8 to 1/4.

I bought a 75ohm resistor adapter for the same effect. Will post results when i get it. 

This is my first full size amp, and I found it too loud with my q701 with the 3 meter cable, I could barely get past 9 o'clock without it being too loud.. On a lark I tried the 6 meter cable and it sound fantastic, I have a lot more control on a lower listening level. I can go to 11 o'clock...

Its like why do lumias come with such good cameras? Answer: they need to give people a reason to buy instead of the apple / samsung phone. Htc has sound, Motorola has battery life, Nokia has camera and LG has... headset?

Had some discomfort with the stock tips. Tried the comply foam comfort tip, wow the base punches right up, Need to get familiar with it again.

I just want an HD25 with automatic headband 

Comparing the Fidelio S2 vs LG Quadbeat, the S2 has a much greater sense of space and separation. Things that reverberate, like a bongo drum or deep, slow vocals resonate silky smooth.   I was surprised how capable the Quadbeat really is, its a wonderful value at $20. The difference between...

I also got a white s2. Gonna order white to see if they mixed up the sku and get a black one.

I've watched them in the store doing an order. There is no actual tracking, it is an automated timer :(

Thanks heh I didn't mean to post any links, I just cut and paste them from cart because I didn't want to type it out, and not really certain about all the posting rules for links on this thread.   I pulled the trigger on S2 and will be eagerly awaiting them
