how do the monster miles davis tributes compare to ie80's?
I actually still have my MMDTs, though not with me right now so I'll have to do this by memory. IE80s are generally better and therefore the MMDTs have gone to my wife. IE80s have better extension for both bass and treble, but MMDTs have more treble by default. Both have plenty of bass, though at max you actually can get MORE out of the IE80s. Soundstage on the IE80s really blows away the MMDTs. Then there are other advantages like the cable in terms of both durability and microphonics. That said, the MMDTs are great headphones and at $135 or $150 I can't think of anything nearly as good.
Oh, and of course I have to plug for my real favorites in this genre: the JVC FX850s.
