Heh, no one means to mistreat their headphones but stuff happens. These will be touted to and from work. The plastic where the actual cans connect to the headband looks like it could crack easily. I ask because of past experiences and compared to the XPT100.

    sound leaking isn't a problem at all.   Looking at the yamaha i am concerned about durability. 

I love everything about the XPT100. Love the headband, love the neutral sound, love how indestructible they are. Need to find an on ear set for in the office. The XPT100 isolate really well but i need to able to hear what is going on around me.   I listen to mostly metal (powermetal...

Hello,   I am looking for some durable, great isolation, very comfortable closed over ear headphones. I need them not to bleed because i don't want to bother the people around me. I don't care how fugle they look nor do i care about portability. I will be using them at home connected to my pc...

I recently picked up the Comply ts-400 for my brainwavz m5. So far i am loving them. They dumb the highs which i was finding to be way to much but now the sound is perfect. The bass has increased also in a good way. I don't even feel them now where as before with the stock tips it came with...

Will the Shure olives work for the Brainwavz m5? I know the comply t-400s will but i want to try something that will last longer.

Hello!   I have had my m5s since october 2012, and love them. I use them so much i have worn out the comfy foam tips that they came with and the other tips don't fit my ears right. I guess i have small ear canals or something. I contacted the brainwaves people through amazon about getting...

I have had my m5s since october 2012, and love them. I listen to a wide range of music from epic production music/scores ( ES Posthumus, two steps from hell)  to the various types of metal (Korpiklaani, Kvelertak, Erra, Eluveitie). I use them so much i have worn out the comfy tips that they came...

well crud. I was going off what he said in the review how they would be good across all genre's. Here is the quote: "But M5 offers more texture on the vocal range and an overall richer, room-filling tone that still maintains a relatively good balance of quantity between different frequency...

I found the review for the Brainwavz M5s to be what I think I want. I am probably going to go with these. If anyone can see a serious flaw in my choice please let me know. I was going off this Review

bumping because I do not want to make a poor choice. I really appreciate any advice.

Hello,   My buddy told me to look here for good advice so i can make an educated purchase. I have glanced around through some of the threads and still don't have a super grasp on all the terms so please excuse the audio noob . I am looking for a durable set in the $30-40$ range that will...

Quote: What do you suggest then, you can see from my post what I listen too. I really don't want to spend over $30 though. Both the m2 and the m4 are in my price range on amazon right now, and they look really durable. Just reading through the posts it seemed like the m4 would be the better...

I have been torn between the m2 and the m4. I listen to folk metal/viking metal to classical music/movie soundtracks. I know M4s are great for guitars and vocals but how well would these do for stuff like yo-yo ma's solo cello stuff? I would be using an android smartphone as the music source. I...
