The V-Modas being a closed headphone have a smaller sound-stage and much much more bass. The Q701's are pretty reference and have a fairly flat response curve. They can be a little aggressive in the treble at first but that mellowed out with burn in. If you're a Bass-Head, the Moda's will likely be more to your taste, but eh Q-701's have, what I think, is a better overall sound quality. The Open Soundstage makes a ton of difference. Everything is so crystal clear.

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

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

We have sold both units you're asking about for years and they are both wonderful! Both have good pre-amps and are built well. And both work well with all of the current DAWs. Don't stress, either will serve you well!

It all depends on what you're comparing it to. If your computer is a $35 RaspberryPi... the DAC in it is admittedly really cheap. You should definitely notice a difference. If you have a Mac, you probably won't notice much difference. I have a late 2009 Mac Mini and I notice a very slight difference. It sounds like greater channel separation and a little more dynamic range. Definitely need to use the RCA outs from the DAC rather than the headphone output. I bought it to experiment with and it's fun to say that I run a separate DAC.

Hi - I have owned both. I am a bedroom player but experienced. I would say the two units are almost identical in terms of user interface. In term of sound, the POD gets a slight nod because the it is slightly more "warm". However, the high gain settings are pretty equal. I was happy with both. I am using the V Amp 3 now. Both are excellent units.

The Radius has nothing on the V-modas... Cnet rated the V's better. The radius sound muffled...Bass isn't everything my man.

Almost any pair of headphones will benefit from a higher quality DAC and/or amplifier. These sound quite solid even driven by more common sources such as a laptop headphone port. Because of this I find the difference between 'normal' sources and a nicer setup to be a little less pronounced but still appreciable, though your milage may vary.

I have the shure e2cs and they were great at isolation but they were very uncomfortable to wear for long periods, and difficult to get seated correctly. I also have V-moda vibe ii and they are the best i've used. Their bass is far superior to the e2cs but its not overpowering either. I would go for them. However i paid $60 (on amazon) for the shures and $120 for the vmodas.

Although I have heard the 7506 a few times, from what I heard the 7506 is much brighter that the V6. The V6 to some May sound a bit rolled off, but I think the highs are very detailed and accentuated just above acceptable levels for me. I also have a pair of AKG k702 and I prefer the V6 for female Jazz vocals like Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday. But these are my impressions, so you would need to listen to the cans yourself. Buy both and return one that you don't like.

I use the AKG's to monitor my music when recording virtual pipe organs. ("leo037chris" on YouTube) The sound is clear and the really low bass is there (even pretty impressive below 32 KHz). The lows are not muddy or boomy at all. I can boost the low end without distortion. The sound is very accurate. The HD600's also have plenty of low response. I think they are not quite as good to monitor my recordings since there is a more distant feel to the music, I think due to the somewhat less mid-range volume(?) and a sort of fuller mid-bass feeling. Really, both phones sound excellent, but I prefer the AKG's for recording, and the HD600's for just general listening to music. I use the AKG's to monitor my music when recording virtual pipe organs.

The DAC is fine. What will limit sound quality in this case is not the DAC but rather the upsampling that pandora is guilty of - at least when i sampled music streaming services. I compared spotify, pandora, and mog, and hands down - Mog was the winner in file quality - dont get bogged down with numbers and listen first. I cancelled both pandora and spotify immediately.

LDIII has more 2/3 order distortion(more tube like). Valhalla is very clean(more SS like). Both sound good. Just comes down to what type of sonic signature you prefer.

Probably not a DAC. Amplifier possibly. Their closed and not incredibly hard to drive, but tbh, the listening experience with even a modest amplifier will be substantially better. I currently use one of the small FiiO amps.

THE LP2 have great sound and depth of sound, just be careful as one of the drivers in the left cup is slightly faulty in my pair, other than that the are fantastic, comfortable, tough, look stylish and are extremely robust!!!

I think the DAC is rather good - have taken it to a friend who was using a very expensive outboard DAC and he reckons it sounds rather good too.

Hey man, so I think these headphones are more suited for edm style music. But, they still sound pretty great for other genres of music. The bass sounds a little too strong for my taste in rock and metal but if that's something you like by all means get them. I would recommend trying them out before you purchase them to see if they fit your preference, check online quite a few electronic stores carry them.
