I've been reading a lot of hype about the M5. A definite FOTM monitor. There are a couple things turning me off to it. First off, the fit doesn't look too comfortable. Secondly, the comments about it sounding like a Sennheiser. I really don't appreciate that sound. I listen to a lot of Metal and Rock. Some rap. I'm wondering if maybe the SE310 would more accommodate my listening habits.
The reason I'm asking is the cord on my UEs seems to have crapped out. The left phone will only make a sound if the cord is in just the right position. The cord, after shipping, will cost $30. So I figure why not put that money towards an upgrade and just sell the bodies for like $50? Then, someone with some patience can get some super.fi 5ebs for only ~$80 and I have an excuse to upgrade.
So, does anyone have any suggestions? I probably won't be using an amp.
Thanks.
