I've been looking at these for a while, it is by far the cheapest it has been on amazon according to camelcamelcamel.

According to a couple reviews i've read, these are generally considered a "fun sounding headphone" (with particular emphasis on lows), so if you are looking for something more balanced/neutral, then this isn't for you.

I probably would've bought these had i not bought the v-moda wireless 2 days ago…

  Fantastic bass heavy headphones at a fantastic price.

  Just word of warning, the default earpads may be uncomfortable (or painful) to wear for long periods of time. XL earpads are sold on V-Moda website (and delivered to Aus) which make this a very comfortable headphone, and slightly improve the sound quality too. I'm not a fan of this slightly sleezy upsell tactic but can't say I don't love this how this headphone sound and feels as a package.

  Oooh, tempting. I've had these on my watchlist for awhile, hoping for Black Friday sales. But after weeks of reading, listening and asking questions, I think I'm gonna with the Beyer DT770 instead (or if I can scrape together come extra coin, the JVC SZ2000)

  But I'll be buggered if $225 isn't tempting…

    i have both DT770 and M-100, and i would strongly recommend the M-100, particularly at this price!

    if you're after a fun bassy headphone for portable use, then definitely the M-100.

    if it's for home use, for extended periods of time, then yeah, DT-770 for the comfort (they are very comfortable with the velour pads!).

      Man, it's the comfort that is really winning me over. That said, I do love me some bass. Do the M-100s keep up with metal music OK? These cans would be used exclusively for office/home use, either through a FiiO amp or Yamaha receiver, so power isn't a problem.

      At this rate I'm gonna buy both and sell the one I like the least…

        ah sorry, can't really help much with metal…in that case, maybe the DT770 might be the best option for you.

        see comments here (which you've probably already seen):

        another option that is really quick for rock/metal is HD25 (and variants). they are great for isolation too, but are on-ears, so some people find them uncomfortable for extended use.

        for comfort, DT-770 with the velour pads are pretty great!

        you should probably go with your gut, and go for the DT770 (sorry for confusing!) :)

  Great headphones - one of my favourite headphones of all time, I miss mine, sold it and swapped for XS model.
  tempting, but I'm after the wireless model now. $225 is a great price for an awesome set of headhpones
