I currently own the W3's, PFE's, NE-7M's, and CX400's. My DAPS are a Cowon D2, Sony A818 and 30 GB Ipod Video. I liked the sound signature on the IE8's but sold them mostly due to fit issues. The FX500's sound interesting but so do the ATH-CK100's but there's a pretty big price difference. I don't have a problem spending $400 but I'm wondering if it's worth getting the CK100's or just going for the FX-500's. My primary genres will be prog rock, metal, and orchestral. I'm not that picky about sound as I can enjoy different sound signatures and don't limit myself to one. If I had to pick a favorite between the IE8's and W3's I'd rather not. I enjoy my PFE's, NE-7M's, W3's and also liked the UM3X and IE8's quite a bit. Comfort would be nice, and isolation is not important.
So, I'm wondering if the CK100's are different enough from the W3's that I should get them, or if I should just save some cash and get the FX500's which would be a nicer complement.
