If you don't have a trained/analytical ear, no. If you do, yes.

so thanks to you guys and various friends in real irl, I'm now finding myself selling things to splurge on a set of IEMs

i hate you all

Which of these would be better for bass? The Vmodas look way better than the Ats. But the AT is marketed as a bass headphone, but I've read the Vmodas have heavy bass too.

Vmod crossfade lp: http://www.amazon.com/Crossfade-Over...2479511&sr=1-2

My sony mdr v6 are great for true sound but I need some bass boost.

Definitely the WS55 in terms of pure bass, but the Crossfade has a more balanced sound IIRC. But, I also remember the WA55's only good feature being the bass; the Crossfades are bass-heavy just not as much as the WS55. I haven't heard the V6 though, so I can't say if they'll have more or less bass. I'd imagine more, seeing as V-Moda is typically a consumer brand.

The MDR v6's that I have has about as much bass as a 10dollar ear bud and I
know theyre burned in. They sound great but flat bass.
All my music is bass heavy so i need headphones that compliment that.

I think ill buy the ws55 and return them if i dont like them since the vmodas are more expensive.

The WS55 should probably suit you then, good luck.

Ordered myself a Shure SE215, pretty excited.

I sold my 3ds and fea for 160 and bought the vmodas with gold plates lol.

I sold my 3DS for the SE215 and some RP lol

-high five-

Also I apologize to anyone that I've converted to audiophilia. As we say on Head-Fi... sorry about the wallet.

No offence but are you guys really that poor you have to sell stuff to buy stuff? Get jobs then you can buy most things you want without selling things.

you're like 12 i struggle to believe you buy anything without using your parents money

At my age, I'd rather focus on my studies than worry about a crappy minimum wage job at some fast food restaurant, thanks. Not everyone in the world is spoiled as you seem to be.

Jobs=spoiled? Why? Anyway, I need some headphones I can wear at work but still be able to hear someone trying to get my attention. We shout to each other a lot, and my eyes aren't always facing my office door to notice peeps. Need suggestions.
