Ugh. I can't decide about the Coppers. What d'you guys think of the price? I live in Canada tho, so headphones are generally soooo much more expensive here. And I lost my previous Coppers so I'll have two lifetime warranties..

If you still have your lifetime warranty, you could get the refurbs off Monsters outlet site for $148. It's only the IEMs and a few tips, nothing else.

Thank you so much for that. I've been trying to read about them and couldn't find any comparisons with the A151 which I was looking for. You mentioned you have the M50s which I do too, how do they compare to those? Again thanks for the words, I really appreciate them.


I find it hard to compare full size cans to IEMs.  I actually don't listen to my M50s that often, as I prefer the ATH-AD700 to them.  I find the M50s a bit hot on my ears and the clamping force is uncomfortable after a while.  I would still say the clarity and separation of the XBA-1s is better than the M50s.  The M50s have a little more of a V shaped sound than the XBA-1s, to my ears.  The XBA-1s have probably the flattest sound signature of any headphones I own. 
 
Anyways, I went to Best Buy in Des Moines, IA again today looking for some budget full-sized headphones as a christmas present.  Best Buy had the Citiscape Metro, Downtown, and Uptown all on clearance.  I picked up the Uptowns for $50.  There was some stock remaining for all 3 models, but the Uptowns were by far the best deal. 
 
I don't know if this deal has previously been mentioned in this thread, but figured I would let you guys know.  I know there were some stores clearancing these out a while ago, but I don't recall which ones and at which price.

Yup, I missed the HD25s I would have bought but by the time i got there $199 and now I think $183. If you got them Tig  WELL DONE!


Thanks, I was pretty stoked on that deal. I was able to give my M80's to my son and keep the HD25's. I guess I'm at the point where if its not a crazy deal (50% off or so) then I'm good with what I've got.

The Vamp as far as I know only works with the iPhone 4 and 4S.
