HD800 for $1100 isn’t a good deal to me. The others are a good deal. HD800 should be selling for $900 these days.

Understandable. I threw that in there mostly because of the dwindling stock of HD80. It's likely not a great deal, but it may be one of few options available for some people.

You can thank me for saving you from emptying your wallet! This was one of the few impulse buys I do not regret one bit! Just got them and they sound phenomenal and are so light and comfortable!

Yes, THANK YOU! My wallet's already substantially lighter this week with two headphones and an LPS on the way. Head-fi is a journey...

Read and watch some of the reviews, there seems to be a problem with the mmcx connectors on the iem's themselves.

mmcx connectors as a whole are problematic in my experience. If I buy a pair I will only use the BT mode and never disconnect them. Hopefully that will solve that issue but any mmcx based IEM is going to be a risk for failure.

Never once had a problem with MMCX....just like I've never had an issue with 2.5...

I did buy a pair. I will post back if I have any issues. I am glad some people have had good luck with MMCX, personally I have had at least 6 IEMs fails because of that connector. That includes $700 Sony Z5's, and a couple $300+ IEMs. I would never have bought the Motion One at full retail for this reason.

Sonically speaking the Motion One is absolutely stellar, simply one of the best deals I have bought in the past couple of years. I like it enough I am going back and buying extended warranty just in case these break... Then it's on the warranty company :)
