I'm about to make the jump, I think! Now, if only I could draw a face for my shield design that doesn't look like a kid Jay Leno, hahaha. My thinking is, now I've got the budget, and my interest in the M-100 is no passing thing since I've been eyeing them for a year and a half, lol!

I want the bright signature sound of my HD-280 Pro and the fun lows of my GR07 Bass Edition. Will the M-100 fulfill my desires?

M-100 has more bass than GR07, and while I haven't heard the HD280 the M-100 is not bright. There is a slight bump at around 10k but overall it's more warm and bassy than bright.

Yeah, are you using legitimate FiiO products? (i.e. do they have the scratch confirmation code at the back of your product?)

On the topic of V-MODA earphones, I just heard Justin Timberlake's "What Goes Around...Comes Around" on the radio. That was pretty much THE test track I used for my V-MODA Vibes.

 
I had my L1 go bad within a month also. I checked and it was definitely a legit FiiO product.

The M-100 is not as bright as the HD280, but are closer to neutral in comparison, certainly not dark.  The M-100 sounds much better to my ears with a bigger soundstage, greater midrange detail and, of course, M-100 bass is far superior to the HD280.  Regarding comfort, the M-100 should feel like soft pillows compared to the vise-like grip of the HD280- OUCH!!!

Can't remember how tight my 280's were as I've had them for 8 years But if the M-100 certainly do feel like a pillow compared to what I've already been comfortable with over the years and superior to its sound, I'll definitely have to get it!

What do you use as a pillow? concrete and nails?

In comparison to the 280s? Yeah... I agree. They are pillows in comparison... The 280s were extremely high clamping with poor pleather pads that were just uncomfortable after 30 minutes.

We can always count on you for a little hyperbole.

WOW. 100+ pages since I've last been here since like.... winter.... I've all but quit head-fi for the most part, mostly because of time, and mostly because I'm SUPER happy with my M-100s, and don't see any reason to get anythng else, and even if I did, I've spent enough time on the site that my wishlist isn't budging.
 
ANYWAYS. Aside from my short anecdote on my absence, my M-100s could us a new cable (the original SpeakEasy kevlar is frayed to no return (I'll get a picture of it.... once I find it) and I do want some new shields, and the XL pads would be REAL nice to have. Oh, and the ProCoil cable....
 
TLR - I'm back (briefly), and real lazy. Whats the word on the XL Pads, and the ProCoil cable?

NEVERMIND! I went ONE page back and saw Val's update. lol Well this is great news! 
 
Val, you rock.
 
Anyways, I see the M-100 hype train is as strong as ever? Anything I miss in these last like.... 4 months?

Lets see, the thread has derailed a dozen times, miceblue has disassembled and reassembled his M-100's a couple of dozen times, and Craigster75 has become secretly engaged to his M-100. On my end, when out and about I still get looks from people concerning my cans and have had to field questions a half dozen times on make, model, pricing and where I got them. Overall, it's been an entertaining time on the thread. You should hang out here more often

And I haven't forgotten about my M-100 either... out with it today with the Tera Player.

Well, the secret is out, but I am cheating with Sig DJ and spicing things up by adding Verza into the mix
