M-80 is more balanced with less treble emphasis while the M50 has a pretty big amount of treble emphasis to my ears and slightly recessed mids. Both are good headphones but I personally prefer the M-80. Much more portable, good soundstage and better quality bass, mids and SQ overall. Just my 2 cents.

will you be reviewing the Sennheiser Amperior?

Which version of the M50 are you talking about?

M80 vs M50.
What're the main differences between the two? How do their sound signatures differ? I see you've given the M50 a slightly better value score. Is it better than the M80?

 
I thought the M-50 has more treble emphasis and less midrange prominence than the M-80 as well as poorer soundstage depth. I agree with roma in giving the edge to the M-80 in all except comfort. 
 
In terms of value, I think the M50 was still selling for ~$120 when that review was written. If you can afford the V-Modas and don't mind on-ear headphones then by all means go for them.

I'd like to at some point but don't think it will be in the near future.

White box version

I think it'd be cool if you did a review for the Sony MDR ZX300s. I have had a pair for almost a year, I can't get over how good they sound for $30. The only thing I had to do was put little flat foam discs under the ear cushions, over the speaker. They have a pretty bright sound that can be fatiguing unless there is some foam over the driver, which darkens it and makes it non-fatiguing. Out of box, there a very thin see through cover over the driver.
 
I made a thread a while ago, no one seemed to take interest, but they are truly good for their price, and probably give more expensive models a run for their money.

Older Sony portables seem to be hit or miss but they certainly seem to be improving quickly on the whole. I would probably buy a newer Sony portable sight unseen at this point.

I've been using my ATH-M50s for a few day now and I'm very impressed. I don't think I'll buy anything from V-Moda again, especially after returning those nightmarish Crossfade LPs.

Btw, is there any particular reason there are no Ultrasones on this thread?

 

[roma101]

The V-MODA M-Series (M-80/M-100) is totally different than the LP series (ie much better and aimed at a more audiophile sound). I wouldn't rule them out altogether based on an experience with the LP. Especially since the incoming M-100 is supposed to be comparable to the Ultrasone Sig Pro.

There are three Ultrasones already - the HFI-450, HFI-15G, and Zino. I own four more - the HFI-780, PRO 550, PRO 650, and PRO 750. Haven't had time to review those, though.

I'm sorry, I meant in Tier A. Thanks again for the great thread.
