In terms of clarity, how do these fare against the HD25s?
If your music is at a low bit rate then this could cause it. Most people don't know but Pandora comes through at a disgusting 96 kbps. I hear a mean thump in mine with tons of impact and its sexy as h*ll man! I can definitely tell the difference between thump in the same song but the different bit rates. I use the song Blunt' Blowin' by Lil Wayne to test rap music bass and it BOOMS when I listen in 256 but sucks at 96 in Pandora.
I know some of you are thinking 256... Drab! But iTunes and stuff... Long story but I'm gonna buy a CD.
I also have equ.
The way I'm comparing the bass is by using my iPhone 4S and listening to this bass-heavy song that tests all bass frequencies. I havent heard a song so extremely bass-heavy.
With that same song, I tried on different cans and the M80 just wasn't for me. They're excellent and I felt they were more on the neutral side.
Now I just hope the LP2 will have enough bass to satisfy my cravings.
Don't buy from their website. They don't respond to my messages and my phone calls go unanswered. I am terribly disappointed. I wish i could get my headphones or at least see my money. To bad because i was really looking forward to reviewing these.

I have received 2 pm's from others with the same issue.
Why is this going unrecorded? Val why are you ignoring your international customers?
I warn anyone here who isn't from the states don't order these from vmoda.com. Unless vmoda solves my issue will tell everyone i know to avoid you at all costs.
He's probably at CES and very busy. Considering the complete anarchy of international delivery around Xmas/NY and the fact that postal services are full of thieves, it's simply not a good time of year to have something go missing. If you've PM'ed Val, give him some time. He probably has numerous PMs, emails and everything to deal with right now.
That's the same thing I thought at first.
I tried different files and it had the same issue. Not sure if it was the mixing or if the original songs were low bit rate that I converted. But I went back and played the Saigon and some Nas that I bought from iTunes and they still didn't give me the oomp that I needed. Yet a low quality video on YouTube did the job.
Again... this wasn't with every song, or every genre. There was a few songs where I could hear the bass clearly, but it wasn't booming as some songs are mean to be.
But as I mentioned, once I ran the app Boom on my Mac and EQu on my iPhone all was great.
Nice boomy yet defined bass and it never washed out any of the other frequencies. Soundstage is still there yet I get a small hint of warmth, but i still get crispy highs... I'm a happy camper, can't wait until I burn them in.
I got in contact and from what i understand they are sending out a new pair.

hehe imo the m80 is better :>. In terms of raw sound quality and clarity I think the hd25 wins, but the presentation of the m80s sound gives it that advantage
