how would you describe the differences between the fx40 and the fxc51?

Welcome to these threads Bro,
The FX40 and FX101 are indeed great finds by Dsnuts, I'm still trying to get over how good they sound for what they cost.
For me, the next step in evolution were the CKS77(Bassy) and CKM500(Balance), totally different Audio Technica sound signature, (they were recommended by Dsnut) and I'm quickly becoming a fan of their house sound. The CKS77(US$52) and CKM500(US$70+) are above your budget but certainly worth every cents just as the JVC are in their price bracket.
I am contemplating picking up a pair of the cheaper CKM300(US$42) to see how far they are from the CKM500, you may want to consider them as well because they are within the budget you specified.

Ya I love both them tracks much. They are both featured in A State of Trance . Armin Van Burren episode 527. Might be tougher to find but worth tracking down..I like testing my earphones on them tunes. I think I prefer the Florence Track with the FX40 and the MnS 64 track with the FX101. Both sound great.
On a side note the initial impressions that are coming in for the FXD80 is. Not good. Lol! We will see.
@sofastreamer The difference between the 2. The FXC51 sound more like an open headphone vs a closed in one that is the FX40. The FXC51 after the required burn in has great detail and nice wide stage for earphones. Sparkle in the highs with a nice airy laid back sound is the main feature of the FXC51. They do have a mild dip in the mid frequencies which is easily fixed with some eQ and the bass end while solid some might say is a bit on the boomy side.
The FX40 has the better balance more detailed mids and has even a better bass end but don't have the stage of the FXC51s. More fuller sounding and detail and clarity on both are excellent. The FXC51 sound like a thinner wider version of the FX40 basically.
Hey where are the canadians getting their JVC HA-FX40 or HA-FX100's? i cant find them.
