I brought this up earlier and wasn't really discussed. Many people weren't very satisfied with the isolation the LP/LP2/M-80 have compared to other similar-sized headphones. I'm hoping the M-100 will have better noise isolation, but since it does have the vents on the earcup, I'm thinking it will have a similar noise isolation as the LP/LP2.
As for the stock earpads, I'm pretty sure they're going to be the same size as the LP. Some users brought this up in an earlier discussion because they also agreed that the LP/LP2's earpads were rather small. A friend of mine actually thought the LP was a supra-aural headphone since the earpads sit on top of his ears instead of around.
Usually more noise isolation is desirable for portable headphones since it blocks out unwanted noise, which can also subsequently allow the listener to hear the bass at lower volume levels......
....yeah I don't think I'll try that again: public bus + Sennheiser HD238 + Sansa Clip Zip on nearly max volume + Fiio E7 on max volume, bass level 3. Even at that the bass was hardly audible over the surrounding bus noise and people talking.
compared to the original lp's, is the isolation going to be better on these? Also, are the pads going to be any bigger because my ears barely fit into the lp's and in result i lacked a lot of isolation. One last thing, I have the ATH M50's right now and love the sound, but I also love the look of the V modas a lot more than the m50s, and the durability is much better on these also.
