unfortunately in italy (and generally in europe) headphone prices are much higher that in the us. here i can't find a pair ok k181 for less than 135 euro.
 
so in a m80 vs k181dj , m80 should be the winner right ?
 
as for m80, how would you rate isolation and bass ? i read that it's a very neutral headphone, and bass isn't there too much...
for example compared to sony mdr-1r, sennheiser hd25 and dt1350.
 
i would love to get a pair of m100, as i prefer over the ear but unfortunately tey are too expensive 

 
 
edit : @phooy1 
 
when you say good at bass, on what scale they are good ? yes as you said i love bass, and i am comming from xb500 and v700dj so i expect something that will give at least 70-80% of that ammount of bass that i'm used to.
 
let's say xb500 is 10/10 for bass in our fictionnal scale and v700dj is a 9/10. what will dt770 and v80 be ?

ok guys i've just found a pair of m80's at 110 euro shipped, like new and the cheapest dt770 stays at 140 euro shipped.... so what do you say ?
 
also from who wons m80, does it give even more quality/bass if amped with e6 or e11 ?

Hey the M-80 has as much bass as the HD25 and has better extension. It has more of a bass punch than the DT1350, which is quite a detailed neutral headphone.

I find the M-80 and K181 to both be on par SQ wise, but the M-80 has better durability and portability IMHO. I think you would enjoy the M-80s and that's a pretty good asking price.

 

[rasmioche]

well guys i just purchased the m80's at the end. final price 89.99 euro + 10 shipping, like new.
 
as soon as i get my hands on them i will test and compare them to xb500 and v700dj 

 

[roma101]

congrats!!! hope you enjoy them

Indeed~ you are better off with M80 after reading some graph. If you still thinking about over-ear, go for the UE6000!

 

[rasmioche]

hope to love them 

 but what made me choose m80 over dt770 really was the price.
the one's i took were listened less than 2 hours according to the seller that received them as a gift and didn't like them... 40 euro difference are a lot, that i can invest maybe in an amp if needed (but i read that m80 amped sound less good, is that possible ? ) and iem

Yes, it is possible to sound less good when amped. However, this situation is very rare. It's mainly because of the output impedance or the amp make too much changes to a pair of headphone that causes it to change it's sound signature.

40 euro + 30 euro = 70 euro...get a better IEM instead

ahah yes i see that 

 
for iems i don't think i'll spend too much as i'm going to use them a lot for sports, so i could break them 

 i will get a pair of sony ex10lp for shure, and another higher quality pair... but which one is still a mistery 

 
waiting for advices on iems 

 
 
 

pioneer se-cl07 (15 euro)
sennheiser cx300 ii (22 euro)
sennheiser cx400 ii (25 euro)
radiopaq custom [rock version - pop version - classica version] (20 euro)
philips she3570 (20 euro)
philips she3575 (20 euro)

For sports headphone..I would recommend IEM that allows you to wear it over the ear... Report back later XD

Looks like you got your eye fized at M-80 XD

 

[rasmioche]

you mean something like this ?
 
 
 
 
i prefer normal camble only iems 

 

[BillsonChang007]

http://www.shure.com/americas/products/earphones-headphones/se-earphones/se215-sound-isolating-earphones Somethin like these I mean XD 

 

[rasmioche]

I wonder what's the price !

 

[BillsonChang007]

To be honest to you, Sennheiser does not make good low-end headphone. They are better off audiophile headphone not consumer. Therefore, CX300 & 400 are definately out of your list 

 
Where as JVC makes good consumer freindly product! XD JVC HA-FX1X has strong build quality with extreme bass & treble. Between these two is/are the mids that is recessed. 
 
As for Philips side, SHE3580 and cut out the others Philips you had listed Check out the review here http://www.head-fi.org/t/561951/philips-she3580-iem-review-how-can-something-sound-so-good-for-10 I like this guy review XD 
 
Now would be SHE3580 VS JVC HA-FX1X eh? lol
