I own a pair, and the noise canceling kinda ruines the quality, thats why I only use thm without noise canceling , but if you really want noise canceling, tou should check some bose quiet comforts out at a brookesrone or bestbuy.

Yep, I did, i just got my online recipt to trade em in for a new pair, thanks for the help!

oh, well I dont use an amp often, so I wouldnt know the sound, but maybe some burn-in time would do them some good

My Mode M40s actually snapped in 2 after a kid tried ripping them off my neck. The Headband then snapped and the kid ran off. Now im left down $350 and a trashed pair of headphones. Please help, I love them to death!

I bought these from brookestone about 2-3 weeks ago, since theyre a big chainbrand store, I think theyre authorized, but I may be wrong

pair*

what do you mean by "wheezing"? like hissing? cuz I have a pai of them myself and I dont have a problem with them.

i have a pair of S4i's, and an iphone 4S, i have the same problem aswell, but it doesnt irritate me much.

Im assuming both are gonna be light, and both have the oval eatr tips, so if sound qulity isnt an issue, Id say S2s, the shape makes it similar to the X5s, of which are very light-weight.

when I get them ill borrow a friends beats and send a link to this forum for all to see!
