i'm having a predicament and i'm wondering if the all you kind gentlemen/women would care to help me out. Especially for those that owned the m100 along with either the : xs or the m80s
i recently returned my matte black m100s (i absolutely love the very sparkly treble and engaging sound) after receiving my white pearl xs (absolutely love the mids and the warm sound)--> the portability is unreal but the isolation suffers compare the m100s by memory (which had the extra bass and over ear fit for more isolation)--> but comfort is great--> is the comfort better on the m100s with the xl pads i wonder??
my reasons for returning the m100s (i'm running off the ipod/iphone)
1) i got it at the mall (and they only had matte black, while its nice, if i prefer the white pearl, by a wide margin)
2) the bass is a bit much (making the mids more laid back than i like)
the mids did not have that magic, the lushness of the xs
3) i didn't get a chance with the xl pads (the m100s was a impulse buy) and if i order the xl pads, it wouldn't get here in time (i would exceed the 30 day policy)--> so i never experienced that comfort it seems like a global consensus unlike the sound change(which is kinda 50/50)
Did you return the m100 to amazon?
4) its a bit big around my neck, the cups are sometimes hitting the bottom of my chin--> unless i stretch my neck--> got sore after a while (now i've gained a lot more weight the past year or so, so part of that is probably on me)---> gonna start working out after i finish my board exam soo that might change
i still have some time till my 60 day test drive runs out (i got the xs the day it came out) and have been recently been thinking if i should just send my xs back for a pair of m100s only this time with the xl pads for extra comfort measures.
what do you guys think?
