  Yeah I love mine more and more every day. They are the ultimate circa $200 headphone IMO.

Ultimate, ultimate! lol.

I've actually changed my Walkman settings a bit where the EQ is flat, but the clear bass on the side is boosted to 4 of 10 to bring out the sub low end. This could be to compensate hearing deficiency, but I find boosting the bass like this only really lifts the super low end to give body to everything down there, not just crazy volumes like Beats.

Hi, considering these for use in an open office environment, but I need a headset style mic for conferencing use.
 
I don't know how the physical characteristics of "4-pole TRRS" plug is different from a regular plug, but I'd like to know if plugin style mic's will fit, like a "Beyerdynamic COP Headset Gear", or a "V-MODA BoomPro"?
 
Thx

Don't have the COP but the BoomPro won't physically fit (without any modding) due to the proprietary connection on the h.ear on.

Should be interesting! I'm still looking for a good sounding, great isolating pair of headphones for the gym. The 100aap's don't isolate quite enough for me, so I'm using the vmoda m100's, but the only problem with them is that they are a bit heavy and look a bit too blingy. I like the looks and the SQ of the 100aap's, so if the wireless 100aap's also have great SQ, then maybe they will be my first pair of BT headphones.... after the price comes down a bit of course!

early but fairly useless review of the wireless model

The wireless ones will be ~$500+ with the tax included here in Canada. Regardless of disposable income, I can't justify that price point. If the Canadian dollar bounces back and I can find a pair on sale for under $375 CAD (which isn't a stretch within the next year), I may pick them up. But i'll wait for reviews first. I'm a bit apprehensive about the weight though- 300g is on the very high end for me.
 
On another note, replaced my ATH M50s with the MDR-100AAP. Also tried the MDR-1A. After ~2 hrs with each headphone, the MDR-100AAP seemed like the obvious choice.
