Some of the best cost effective over ears I've tried all come from Sonic and Takstar.

Somic has a new Studio headphone for ~$50 called the MM185 which should be awesome. Mine is on the way.

The Takstar Pro 80 (Gemini HSR-1000 in the US) is another headphone with the bass and treble you like at $54 that sounds like a $200 headphone.

Looking for something about the size of my vmoda m100', you think the mm185's are about same size.?s

Wating on impressions. I've sold my ATH ES700 and looking for some on/over ear.

Or Bidenuo G380 - overall inferior to Xiaomi, but they have more bass.

Well, it is "dressed cooler"; I like the revised logo, even though it looks a little gamer.

Who knows if it's "sounded cooler"...


The KC06 would be killer if it was less bright and had more bass. I'm not sure I would spend $60 on another single dynamic though, unless it was at the Fostex TE-05 level.

Can you confirm if G380 in-line remote works with Android phones, specifically for volume up/down?
 

 
 
From the pictures above I got from dx (http://dx.com/en/p/bidenuo-g380-in-ear-style-stereo-earphone-black-3-5mm-plug-213797#.Uv_vp7CPL3g), it looks exactly like in-line remote on 3.5mm removable cable I got from ebay which can control my Galaxy Note 2 volume.  Usually all these remotes multifunction button work universally with play/pause/call and skip track, but volume control is only for iDevices.  Also, any comments about Bidenuo G800 (http://dx.com/p/bidenuo-g800-in-ear-earphone-for-smart-cell-phone-black-silver-3-5mm-126cm-cable-254398#.Uv_v2rCPL3g)?  Looks awesome!
 

 
I might end up ordering both :)

Ok I'll test the Sony hybrids on my ax35 tomorrow. Tbh I didn't think they'll fit but it seems as if I was wrong.

The bass settled down when I changed tips so all fine there.

I'll report back when I get to test them with the hybrids.

I don't know G800 (I hate that swag look), but I suspect it's the same driver as in the G380.
Is the remote works with Android? Definitely works with the iPad and Lumia 720, so I think there will be no problem.
 
From what I know G780 has poor sound quality, so you'd better stay clear of this model.
G380 and G360 (older model) are quite interesting for someone who likes large quantities of bass and doesn't bother narrow sound scene (a bit like K518).

Where did you buy the MM185? Aliexpress? 
They look extremely interesting.

Hmm, if it works with your iPad (volume controls, that is) most likely it will not work with Android.  Multifunction button is universal, regardless of iOS, Android, or Windows.  But with volume they use different resistor values inside of remote.  But either way, it's not a showstopper.
