If I still had my A15 I would get these, probably made for each other. Certainly the A20 where they are even colour matched.

Does the new model have an EQ preset for the 100? I thought it was strange the old one didn't for the MDR 1A.

Just ordered them for 129 euro (140 usd). I hope they are as good as you guy's claim.


For that price you can't go wrong with them.  To put it in perspective:  In most places, that's about the same price OR CHEAPER than the ATH-M50x go for.  These headphones, however, kick the ever-living crap out of the M50x :p

That's okay. I'm sure shipping would be $100US to me anyway

Thanks! I fuddled my way through, and ended up here:
 

 
That's surprisingly not a bad (ie $143US) and I don't understand it tbh.
 
I then kinda accidentally clicked on what I thought would give me another chance to bail, but was confronted with the following:

Oops! I'm tempted to let it happen (although I wasn't expecting to do this right now!). Is there a cancellation button though lol?

I think Armin Van Buuren should endorse these instead of the Philips A5-Pro lol. Cause I gave his new album a listen on these and I am pretty impressed (of the performance of the Sony) tbh. (although I do prefer his older material)

  Would these be good as standalone or would driving them be necessary?


They BY NO MEANS require a powerful amp, if that is what you are getting at.  Your typical phone or laptop can drive them just fine, as can any and all DAP's.

They sound great without an amp, but Major League on a Project Ember
