Momentum is out of the race becos the cups are too closed for comfort...

 
this z1000upgrade with the softcups n flat sig should keep me glued to this thread for the next few weeks.
i know the k550 is not as portable, but can anyone give a brief comparision?  my wallet was poised for the k550 this last week..haizzz.

I was not happy with Momentum or K550.  As you said Momentum cups are too small; K550 cups are too big for me, couldn't get a decent seal, felt like they were falling off my head and I believe I have larger than average ears and head.  As a result of a poor seal, I found K550 bass to be anemic.  I found Momentum bass muddy and extended too high into the upper bass region.  K550 seems to have more detailed mids and superior highs.  Based on early reviews, I think I would prefer the MDR-1R to both.

yaaa....think the k550 has no place in my arsenal...
my homefront is well marshalled by the q701

Im worried that my big ears wont fit into those? Can anyone confirm?

 

[Aquanote]

nope. I got big ears and no comfort issues.

 

[martinkutt]

Cool. Any cheap places to order them. Local Sony resellers wont sell them and amazon has like 25 euros shipping fee.

EDIT: to europe, Estonia

 

[Mickice]

Things are looking exciting, now I just need an Aussie releas.

Ordered mine a minute ago from amazon.co.uk TOTAL £215.35.

Anyone have a comparison of the MDR-1R to the MDR-1NC? Does the NC version have the option to play without NC on, and if so, do they essentially sound the same as the 1R'a at that point?

I'm currently deciding between these and some M-100s, so is anyone gets a chance to listen to both, I would really appreciate a comparrison

Not necessarily a direct comparison but I did make a few comments about the M-100 about the two :-

Wow I am actually interested in these , at least the bluetooth version (need an around ear wireless headset, have to reduce table clutter) and what senheisser is offering for their top line bluetooth is just way to expensive

I guess I shouldn't show you this picture then . I'm desperately trying to finalise the MDR-1RBT impressions before returning them (along with the MDR-1R) to Sony this coming weekend.

Does the BT one have NFC? I think I read somewhere a long time ago that it has NFC but then I might be dreaming.
