You should go to Yong-San and check out the Headphoneshop store on the 2nd floor? I think.. you should probably be able to find every single one of these headphones for testing - unless you've done that already

The denons 1100 are the same price as the m50s......(if anything the m50s are maybe a few bucks more expensive)

Make sure to let me know, which are you leaning towards before heading there? Post your thoughts!

I have to test the tma-1 the sale only runs til tuesday.....

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Well at least for me, he's waiting for me to get my paypal sorted out before I can get it.
 
If you talk to him directly though email/phone, and mention that you were one of the people that he talked to at the "Ignore this Thread" thread, I'm sure he'll extend the price if you need to.

yea I think I will do that if time runs out....
 
but today is going to be fun day....
 
I am very  very picky when it comes to sound. 
 
This is the order for me...
 
Sound 1-5
Comfort 1-5
Sound isolation 1-5
 
In terms of looks....
 
The order for me would be tmas, denons and then the h25.....

 

[BRSxIgnition]

Same for me on all counts, let me know how things turn out.

my vote goes to the AKG K450...
its portable, comfortable, sounds BIG and clear...with a good source.

Hi
 
The AKG K271 is really too big to be called a portable, it's big and offers little isolation, and it's quite noisy when the cord moves on your jacket. The sound is easily my favourite of all the headphones I've tried so far though.
 
Although more so than the AKG, the ATH-M50 don't really isolate much external noise either. They are smaller and more portable though, but the sound is too weak for my taste. In my opinion they are hyped on these forums.
 
I would consider more portable headphones like the HD-25 II, the TMA-1 or maybe the new AKG K540 (haven't read any review of them yet).

 

[ilovetaylors]

wow hd-25-1ii for the win!! 
 
I wish those same people can listen to the tma-1's and compare...

 

[BRSxIgnition]

They've compared them, read through the AIAIAI thread and look for yourself.
