the sound is very nice...but in fact,i still like the Monster Studio
...I'd hoped the Momentum would sound a bit more like the HD-25s but with an increase in quality that justifies the higher price.
You just described the Amperior. As to whether or not it justifies the price increase, that is up to each individual to determine. But it is clearly a better HD-25.
A one night stay at a hotel the bay area, average hotel, not a 5 start is $120. So, all things in perspective. $150 for increase in quality on something that can be enjoyed for years is justified to me.
Rob:
Thanks for the recommendation and analogy.
I learned about the Amperior's sound when I tried them for about an hour at the Apple Store last month. I enjoyed them but remained unconvinced they represented an improvement that justified the expense. Nor did the construction seem different enough from the original HD25 (metal cups notwithpressing).
I'll consider buying them when either the price point reaches what I consider to be a reasonable value, or my income reaches the level that allows me to stay in hotels in Milan and Genoa regularly.
