can't find m100 to be shipped in italy unfortunately even on amazon (and i think it's a bid over my budget
)
i can only find crossfade lp, which i think isn't as good as m80 right ?
If you see in the list above any wrong pro/con or missing pro/cons please add them so i can choose easily.
Again, theese are the music styles that i mostly listen : electro house - house - commercial house - dubstep - rock - hard rock - metal - heavy metal - alternative - classica - jazz - rythm and blues - pop - rap
So bass is the most important thing (comming from xb500) but also mids and highs must be there
for now because of the price and pro/cons list above this is the preference chart :
1- v-moda m80
2- beyer dt770 80 ohm
3- hfi 580
4- akg k167
5- beyer cop
for now :
beyer 770 80ohm : [COLOR=B22222]
approx 140-150 euro shipped[/COLOR]
pros : great sound quality - great bass - great comfort - isolation not superb but ok
cons : mids recessed - very long wire - not replaceable wire - will not give 100% of it's potential unamped, on iphone and pc
beyer cop : [COLOR=B22222]
