Hi, guys.
I'm sure a lot of you have seen me around a few times.
I need a bit of help.
I'm trying to replace, and add some new headphones, & IEMs to my collection.
My Issue: I'm not the kind of person to go out and just try something completely new, or buy something at random.
I study a headphone a good bit before I even consider price, or purchasing.
I love IEMs', though my experience with High End IEMs' has only been with the IM50.
Now I can't buy an IEM that does not have detachable cables.
I'll list what I own, and if I enjoy.
This isn't a long list.
Audio-Technica ATH-M50
This was my first ever headphone, and I have owned it going on Four Years now.
Despite my very first review on this site, I like this headphone, yet I feel it lacks.
I JUST DON'T LIKE THE TREBLE, OR THE BASS.
Audio-Technica ATH-IM50
Just bought very recently, but I've fallen in love with the Slow Warm Textured Bassy Sound.
I constantly see complaints on here about it's sound, yet I adore it!
Detachable Cables are a MUST for me now.
Sony MDR MA-100
Bought these $20 Headphones on a whim.
I gave them the Burn In people say they needed, and I haven't been able to get them off my head since.
Audio-Technica ATH-WS55
First pair of On-Ear headphones I bought, never understood why I bought them, so not much feedback.
I do still use them often though.
My Sound Preference
I'm not super picky, I like Warm Sound, I guess?
Everyone on here I've spoke to has always told me that I should really stick with the more Fun, & Bassy Sounding headphones since I come from the ATH-WS55, & ATH-M50.
I like more Sub Bass, and slight Treble, and Forward Neutral Highs.
I can't properly describe my preferred sound.
Headphones I'm looking at, & their application
Audio-Technica ATH-MSR7 or Sony MDR1R
Application - On The Go/Home Use
I need help with this.
People here on Head-Fi have always told me to overlook the Sony MDR1Rs' and to get the ATH-MSR7 as I already own a few Audio-Technica pieces, and it'd be safe for me to stick with their Sound Signature.
V-MODA Crossfade M-100
Application - Home Use
I have followed these headphones for a while, almost Two Years.
Since I constantly complain about the Hot, Muddy, Splashy Bass on the M50, I've been pointed to the M-100 several times.
Being told that they are nearly the same as the M50, but with a Tighter Bass over the M50, and less focused in the Treble making them a good choice for a Monitoring Headphone.
Havi B3 Pro II
I wanna purchase another pair of IEMs with a Detachable Cable to have options for On The Go, and Couch Potato listening.
The Havi B3 Pro II look really good to me, though I've heard mixed things.
I'd like more opinions.
VSONIC VSD3S
Just another option for IEM listening.
I like the look, and it seems like my style.
JVC HA-S500
I have had a listen to these, and I enjoy headphones that are a bit of a challenge.
I'd like to replace my ATH-WS55 with these.
All said, can anyone maybe give me reasons I shouldn't get these, or more options that are similar?
