Thanks for the reply. I am looking for something that will mainly be used in my home office and at my work office, both of which are private. So I was initially prioritizing sound quality and comfort above all, but the chance to get something portable and comfortable without sacrificing too much in sound quality is appealing. Reviews of the COP have been mixed, whereas all of the feedback coming in so far on the M-100 has been really positive, especially in terms of SQ. But as of right now, the M-100 are twice what the COP cost. If I'm going to stay in the Beyer family, though, I want to get the best sound, and it seems like the 880 or 990 are better reviewed than the COP. Trying to avoid dropping cash on something that requires an amp to get acceptable sound.
I guess it all depends on what you're looking for and how you plan on using them. The M-100 and COP is a great comparison and needs to happen!! I think it will be a wash and ultimately you'd be better off with the COP's. Now of course that is a blind impression but chances are the Beyers are going to sound better IMO. I had the Crossfade LP's and I was not impressed at all!! They spent more time, money, and research on the packaging and the build quality than they did the sound... Instead of dropping them 700 times to test how strong they are they should have been working on stopping the highs and lows from cracking at moderately high volumes!! I only paid $77 (new) for the LP's and couldn't get ride of them fast enough...
So what are you looking for? What type of can and what do you want to get out of them?
