Would it be worth spending an extra $150 for the M100s even though I'm not a big audiophile? Would I find a big difference between the LP and M100?

M100 is the latest but you cant find any short of difference. LP is best if you are not audiophile.

We buy ours when they go on sale for roughly $100 or less. My sons are audiophiles so for them it is a good price for great sound. Don't know the difference between the LP & M100. I couldn't say if it would be worth it to you.

Well if you aren't a big audiophile and don't now much the brand v-moda, the LP are a great place to start. You wont be disappointed even though you chose not to invest 150 more dollars on the m100. Believe me when i say that the LP produce better sound then most of Dr. dre beats headphones and for a fraction of the price. I broken many headphones in three months or less and these headphones are durable and dont feel flimsy and cheap like the beats. :D You wont regret the price you paid for LP which give you fantastic sound and durability. Best part, you get to sound out from the crowd (v^-^)/ Hope this helps

I haven't personally listened to the M100's, but I do own the Crossfade LPs, and for what I paid for them, I'm very satisfied. The build quality is exceptional, and the sound is pretty good. If you're not a discerning audiophile, then get the LPs; they should do you just fine.

Truthfully, I do not think you need to spend the extra money. The LP's are a great value with a great sound.

As good as the LP's sound I really can't imagine the M100s being $150.00 better for the casual listener

The xls is a line up in quality. Some of them have double woofers. I think they put more money into the tweeter/ horn too. I don't own one. This product has spectacular clarity, volume and clarity for the price. It's can be little bass heavy if there is no equalizer. If you can afford the xls, it's probably better for the highs.

By no means definitive here, since I went through the same questions before I bought these. These are open, vs. closed on the 170's. So the 170's will keep out more of the ambient noise in your environment than these will. These also will be audible easier to other people in the area, depending on the volume that can be VERY much so. Even at low volume you can hear it fine four or five feet away. I preferred the open though since I am a single parent with a 9 year old son, so I like hearing if he hollers out during the night when I'm doing something else. But for me the clincher was the far more comfortable velour ear pieces. They breathe, so your skull around your ears won't get as sweaty and wet like the fake leather stuff on the 170's will do. Now, you CAN buy the velour ear covers for the 170's, but they ran like $45 and I only found them overseas so the price difference would've been lost by the time I went that route anyway. Spec-wise, they're pretty identical with a similar feature set. I could find nothing that would push me for one over the other on a purely sound level aspect.

Better. No comparison. 3000 is a solid unit, hassle free. But that unit is old,there are other options in that price range now... check out the numark. Or see if you can find a used m audio xponent. Owned that one for years.... way superior to either.

The pros hurt my head. I liked the bass signature better than the M50s, but I sent them back. If your looking for a good, standard HIFI, neutral can, then the M50s are really good. Frankly, you can't go wrong with them. I was going to buy them, then I found another set that I fell in love with (Phillips Fidelio L1s).

I have no experience with the PSW505 or PL-200 so I can't vouch for them. However, I can say a bit about the Sub-12HG. IN MY OPINION this sub is not very "musical". It doesn't play upper frequencies (60Hz+) very well and isn't very accurate (punchy). On the other hand, this sub is excellent for low frequency needs (down to around 25Hz-40Hz). I have found that it produces more quantiful bass rather than tight and accurate bass. Therefore, it CAN be great for movies, some rap/hip-hop -- pretty much anything needing strictly low end boom. I personally would not advise it for just music use. This is based on my personal experience.

Actually I agree with the above poster. The MDR-ZX600 are a great step up in terms of richer sound, more clarity, and nicer bass, mids, and highs. They also have much better isolation. I previously posted that the sony mdr 7506's would be a good step up, but I must retract this comment as after months of use they are just too trebly and bright. They become extremely fatiguing within 20 minutes or so, whereas the mdr-zx600's are perfectly balanced and overall a fantastic choice.Thanks...

Holy moly, I wish I had that problem..to choose between two companies with stellar offerings. The LS50 is exceptional, would I prefer a pair of Wilson Watt Puppies......in a heartbeat. But, as the monetary system collapses, you are probably far better off to get some acoustic instruments.

I owned both. Bought the MB42X first, then returned them and got the Clubs. The MB42X sounded like something was missing in the mids. It sounded hollow. The Clubs have a fuller sound and I much prefer them to the MB42X !! Sound is a preference so to each their own. I tried adjusting bass and treble with both and the Clubs with no adjustment really sound the best. I'm not a big fan of the Lepai amp, it's only good for half volume so get the Topping amp even though it's more expensive.

Buy the V-Moda Crossfade LPs. I've had mine for 3 years now and they hold up like they are brand new. Everything sounds truly amazing. I have given them as gifts and convinced a friend of mine to buy them, who DJs in Vegas part-time. He was blown away and said he has never heard anything better for the price.I've demoed the SOL Republic products, but was very underwhemled. If you buy these, you will be disappointed in comparison to the V-Moda Crossfade LPs. Keep in mind, these SOL Master Tracks have a 40mm driver, and the Crossfade LPs have a 50mm driver. Bigger driver, bigger bass, higher quality sound.Buy V-Moda :) Buy the V-Moda Crossfade LPs. I've had mine for 3 years now and they hold up like they are brand new. Everything sounds truly amazing.

I would say that the T15 is probably the more accurate and musical, plus, it's a hell of a bargain. They can be found on sale for $50... THE PAIR!! They just sound great. They are slightly warm in my room... most likely the room itself causing the issue. Judicious use of tone controls correct this for me. The amount of musical enjoyment for so little money, You can't go wrong. The build of construction, fit and finish, and looks, especially with the grills off make these even more attractive.

The sound is slightly different. The M5 is more balanced and clear but less bassy. You should read some Product-Tests and make a Decision based on the music you hear....

I have the m50s limited edition. I prefer the hm5 better just because it's more neutral sounding. M50s is abit v shape to me, where you can hear the high and bass really well but the mid abit laid back. I also think the hm5 have better soundstage. However do note you will need about 100 hours of burning time for the hm5 to get it settled and the sound will change through out the burning process. The other thing I like about the hm5 that it is quite easy to mod. Mine has a cable upgrade and a wood cup now. However if u looking for option should check out Beyer and akg as they also have good stuffs as well just not in the price range of hm5. I have the m50s limited edition.

I've owned both and I'd say the HD650 does everything a little better. They have similar sound signatures, but the 650s are more lush with greater impact. More natural overall tone, too.It's kind of like a BMW M3 vs M5 - they're similar in every way, but the M5 is a little bigger, beefier, badder.

I have never done a side by side comparison of the two but based on the specifications of each model it's safe to say that the differences would be noticeable. The 225i's are, in my opinion, the single best headphone you can purchase without having to purchase a headphone amplifier. They have a bit more bass than the 225i's yet retain the mid/high soundstage that is so typical of Grado. The upgrade will be in vocals and bass. Basically, I absolutely think it's worth the extra coinage to purchase the 225i's.

That question can not be truly answered here. So many factors to consider such as the quality of the rest of your gear, your room size, your budget. I run the big M100 tower speakers by Axiom Audio but a small bookshelf speaker may serve you better. Good speakers can be had for a few hundred dollars up to the insane levels. It would be a good idea to go to audition some in your size/price range. They all have a unique sound so it will be up to what you like.

The LP2 and M100's have the same size earcups and pads. In fact, aside from the hinge on the M100 and the colors, the design is identical. The XL pads will make the M100 (or LP2 and LP for that matter) more comfortable.
