    SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread

    I used to have both. The Momentum has a significant upper bass hump making them very 'fun'. The HP100s are much more flat, the bass is smoother and cleaner, perhaps deeper too. The Momentums treble sparkles in some areas, initilly sounding detailed, but its a bit messy when doing more critical...

    SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread

    Quote: It's hard to argue with the value of the HP100 right? I loaned mine to my Dad and now he likes them so much I need to get some more for myself. I love the TH600, but is it more than 4 times better? I'll let you decide... but the answer is no! :P

    iFi products Discussion Thread iTUBE will be out soon!!

    I just spoke to Vince from Ifi and he told me that the 3D settings in the iTube are only built for speakers. The setting is different to the one on the iCAN, which is obviously designed for headphones. I will update my review with this as soon as I can, but right now I'm off to get a drink and...

    iFi products Discussion Thread iTUBE will be out soon!!

    Quote: Thanks! I think it worked a little bit better for my speakers at the end of the review, but I went back and forth on that during testing. It's definitely worthy for either. I'd mostly give it the edge for speakers because of the 3D settings I think.   I'm just listening to it...

    SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread

    Neither the HP100 or the HP200 that I have feel remotely delicate in that area or any other so I am shocked that it broke like that for no reason. I wonder what SoundMAGIC will say about the eBay seller, if the seller is legit and if this means the unit is genuine. The prospect of the Chinese...

    SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread

    I agree with that description of the M50 as well. The HP100 is probably the sweet spot of value before deminishing returns for me... so far.

    SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread

    I've not found any that are similar, but I'm not sure you'd want this flat signature outside because background noise destroys the sound. The momentums and Fidelio L1's pumped up bass works well when using them outside I find, but they are very different headphones. Weirdly enough my favourite...

    I will definitely give it a go once I get the HP100 again, which will probably be a couple of weeks.

    SoundMAGIC HP100/HP150 Review and Impressions Thread

    I like the Mad Dog (w/Alpha pads), but I also prefer the HP100 overall. I used to have them together, but I gave my HP100's away to a loving home that would appreciate them a bit more. I have too many headphones and not enough time these days, but... I've come to realize that I miss the HP100's...
