Quote: HM5 pads i think were mentioned earlier in the thread.

I dont need it to do a whole lot, just surfing the web at good speed, dvd drive, usb drive, and able to put word on it. It doesnt need to be too light since ill mainly use it at home and sometimes travel with it? I have a usb dac so thats what i need the usb drive for. What should i look for if...

Quote: Alright, great!!!! If you end up posting a more in depth review i would love to read it, so post a link or something!!!

Quote: Thank you so much for following up!!!!! You say the comfort is slightly better, my hfi-580s always seemed stiff, how are these in that regard?

I was looking at HP too but the asus seems to have better specs and the Lenovo too, i just cant decide:rolleyes:

I dont now if im even allowed to ask this but since you are all so helpful and it somewhat has to do with music here it goes. I need a new laptop for basic web functions, youtube, movies, typing, and music. I can get :cool::cool:lenovo for discount so that seems like a good idea. I was...

Please post impressions and compare them!!! :)

I will mainly be using these at home and listen to mainly rap but also some pop and rock. I like bass but i feel like im missing something when listening to some music, and i have a small head only on the 2nd notch on the hfi-580 headband.

Ive been looking at both these and the a900x and cant decide. I was gonna go with the a900x but i dont know how well they would fit on my smallish head. Then the ws99 seem to be portable but i was wondering if with the HM5 pads they would be more comfortable for at home listening. I would also...

I might take back my Dunu recommendation then, they are excellent for hip hop and rap but the treble is kinda of piercing i guess you would say? Maybe someone else can chime in.  

Maybe the Dunu Tai-Chi? I find it has plenty of bass, what genres do you listen to?  

The ATH-M50s are good but not for the price they have been going for. Maybe the Hfi-580, i have them and use them for the same genres as you. They are excellent for what i got them for, idk how good they are for the extra 60 bucks more than what i paid for them on amazon. Also are you leaning...

Where will you be when using these? If you are more stationary, headphones are more comfortable for most. If you are moving more, IEMs and on ear headphones might be a better idea. Also when using headphones, over the ear or on?  

Ok youll probably want over the ear ones then, sorry i couldnt be of any help so heres a bump. 

What iems did you have? Were they perhaps earbuds? Ive found my iems to be comfortable up to a few hours, you need to let your ears breath with any headphones occasionally. With ANC headphones i have no experience.

Alright thanks for all the help!! 

These seem to be exactly what im looking for but what other headphones are these comparable to?  Thanks

So the M100s basically are a step up from the 580s with the same sound sig?

Maybe the Dunu Tai-Chi or Eph-100. I own the Dunu and are great for rap and the like. But take what i say lightly as the only other headphone i have is the hfi-580.

Not the other guy but if i recall most Etymotics are basslight but are better as a balanced and clear iem. 

I already have an ibasso d-zero so i guess ill save up for one of those. The ultrasone is still out of my budget unless i find a good deal. How does the m100 compare to the 580?:)

I found a lightly used hfi2400 for 115, would that be a good decision. What about the he300, i thought i heard somewhere they had a decent amount of bass.

I currently have the Ultrasone hfi580 and love them but i am looking to upgrade. I would like to spend 200 but can go up to 250. I listen to mainly rap like Kanyes old stuff, Kid cudi, Lupe fiasco and so on so bass is important. Sometimes i listen to bands such as Evansescense and Earlyrise so...

Quote: I have no experience here and can't help, sorry.  Wait until Sunday when kimvictor can help or when warren gets back. Both are real helpful and would give way better advice than me. Good luck on finding exactly what you need!!

Quote: I am new to the forum but have lurked for much longer so take what i say with a grain of salt. I would start out by checking jokers iem thread. It has over 280 different ones at this point. He rates each one by isolation and sound plus many others. Just looking i saw 6 that seemed to...
