Guys:
I already own the white VModa M-80's and I am very happy with them, but now I'm looking for a decent pair of BASSHEAD over-ears.
After reading most of this "interesting" thread I went ahead and ordered the Panasonic's (haven't arrived yet) but I am pretty sure I'm going to need/want to upgrade to something "more pro" in the long run.
My desired criteria for picking one will be:
1) Completely over-ear
2) Budget is $150, but will do $175 if its really worth it
3) Closed design
2) Strong "GOOD" Bass, and somewhat decent mids and highs (yeah, I know)
3) Preferable not too bulky (aka XB500) or heavy since they will be mostly for portable use
4) Comfort is important but I am willing to sacrifice a little comfort in exchange for #2
I was already suggested (by RPGWizard) to get the M-Audio Q40's and I almost did (and maybe I will), but since reading this thread I have noticed some people mentioning others like:
Ultrasone HFI-580/DJ1
Aiaiai TMA-1
Denon HP700
ATH-M50
ATH-Pro700 MK2
VModa Crossfade LP2
Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro
At this time, out of all those my favorites by all the comments, reviews (and looks) are: Q40, TMA-1, HFI-580 and C1Pro.
Any comments to help me out will be appreciated. Once again I would like to thank RPGWizard for replying to my pm some time ago with a very nice and detailed response. This guy is gold, as it seems with many people in this community.
My source is a Clip Zip (Rockboxed) + E6 + 32gigs of 256AAC, 320MP3, FLAC
Just got the E11 (with xtra battery) but I haven't even opened it yet, I want to use it with my over-ears. =)
