They were $85 "used" on Amazon 3 days ago. I'm thinking it was a pricing mistake, or it could have been a "lightning warehouse deal".

How are you finding the initial comfort?

Regardless, after a year and a half on debating whether or not I should buy a pair, I finally have some black M80s.

They sound pretty damn good. Sound stage could be bigger as I'm use to open 'phones, but they're semi-closed so it's no biggie. Still have to formulate my opinion of them over the next couple of days, but the signature is sure winning me over.

I got them also for $84 also, i like the sound very much that i want to use them with my desktop also, they were initially for mobile purpose.
 
 
can someone post a link for a long audio cable, i would like to use this new M80 with my Desktop, looking maybe for 2 feet audio cord, i am afraid to buy the wrong audio M/M audio cord.
 
 
Thanks

It's just a standard 3.5mm plug on the M-80's end, so almost anything will work really... Unless you're trying to retain mic functionality at the desktop or something. Aren't the stock cables longer than two feet anyway? Monoprice.com has a nice variety of lengths/thickness etc.

Or you could just go straight to the source.

Well yeah, I just assumed he wanted something different or shorter/longer...

Their stock cables are pretty nice IMO, cloth sleeved isn't for everyone but the 45° plugs and separated mic/button capsules are perfect for mobile use. It's silly how many portable headphones ship with woefully inadequate cables that aren't even removable.

I use my M-80 a lot with a 4-6" cable that goes into a clip-on BT receiver, love the versatility of the removable cable.

So back then I said I didn't hear the difference between the vents being covered. I used tape and it was not quick enough for me to do an A/B  between open and closed. Using your fingers works too. So I was able to hear the difference. To me, vocals had slightly less lower-ness so it sounded crisper. It was also a smaller sound stage. It was not a big difference, but it was there.

I need something as good but longer, to use with the Desktop.
 
Do you think this cable will fit?

Either would work, Monoprice's might be cheaper even with shipping tho.

I bought a pair of M-80 truebloods on amazon recently, where I was impressed with the sound across multiple genres, I wasn't impressed with the excessive creaking of metal and loosening of the screws attached to my right cup. Would these be warning signs that my headphones coul break?

 

[Impulse]

Loosening of the screws? The ones that hold the shields? I can't remember if there's any other visible screws... I've seen a couple people mention their cups squeaked a bit when turned but what you're describing sounds excessive.

One of the cups on mine clicks a bit when I turn it while it's not on my head but once they're on they feel very solid and I can't detect any creakyness.

Not the ones that hold the shields, sorry, the ones that attach the cups to the outer metal ends of the headband.
 
Should I return them and exchange for a new pair? Or should I go for the ATH m50s just in case this issue was caused by my head size?

I noticed creaking on the right earcup of my M-100 when I first got it. I popped the cup off the hinge and cleaned out the dust inside the hole and the creak went away. It's a little trickier popping off the cups on the V-80, but that could solve your problem.

Oh, I'm not the only one with a squeaky right cup?! O_o

My friend told me he got the M-80, but says the bass sounds a little distorted. Any thoughts?
