IF you don't keep the FSP, take the FSClassic   ... Overally same sound but a bit less forward and a bit more relax. better built , same cups.  I can understand fit issues and crackling issue but for SQ alone one of the focal deserves its place in the leaderboard. period.  I Prefer the FSP but its a matter of tastes and there's nothing wrong to my ears with the Focal Spirit Classic.

pics of the Classic.. you can see the headband seems much more solid.

I so wanted to purchase a pair of these, or the Pros, but while doing my typical obsessive hours and hours of research, I read a few complaints that these headphones simply don't work when wearing glasses. Can anyone here who wears glasses confirm or deny this?

It's tough being bespectacled with a large head in this hobby. 

Fuck it, I'm putting it up. Mainly because the TH900 brings certain unique niche qualities not found on other dynamics. Conditional. If anyone objects, say so now.

Despite the fact I hated this headphone when I tried it, I must recognize it's a very good heaphone. It brings something really special on the table.. unique mix between clean analytical sound and fun signature.  i didn't forget the opportunity to try it out my sonnet to see if I can bear it form this amp but I'm afraid of the HO impedance of 12 ohms.

Some possible nominees:

In the cheap as *$#* category: Philips she3590 and xiaomi pistons that ultrabike measured sound better to me than a lot higher costing in ear crap. JVC HAS400/500 is cheap as hell too

In the budget(under 100): takstar pro80 just so much value and the ue6000 sounds very inoffensive, I liked it better than mad dogs fwiw.

I vote nay on the m-80 just because those latter two sound better, plus I think those JVC carbon nanotubes are just as good as m-80.

In the mid tier: better construction of the Focal Classic and more musical(whatever that means) presentation kinda won me over

For a more monitor sound, I think the Sony 7520 betters the Focal Pro in bass impact and comfort, but the real upper treble might be too rolled off for some pirates.

In omg it costs how much tier: yay on the fostex, the bass is too addicting to not be included

TH900 again... as a conditional. I don't like that treble sharpness, but its clarity, lack of distortion, bass quality (and quantity) are unsurpassed for dynamics.

+1 Lol I'm sure you knew I would be onboard for them.

We cannot be friends (kidding)!

The nature of the TH900 peak is untameable with mods, i.e. felt, whatever, etc. it's just a bad spot. if it were pushed up to near 9-10k, then maybe. Similar reason why the Alpha-dogs really are not that tameable - at least not without throwing 5 layers of felt on it - which causes other very deleterious effects.

TH900 is nice on the Stratus though.

It's a christmas miracle!

I despised the re400b that came with the hifiman player
