Wid, That was the exact reason I didn't buy the $175 model. Based on the graph comparison from headroom I didn't see a justifiable reason to fork over another $60. I've been listening with the supplied apple ear phones forever now so I am sure I will be pleased with the HF5's.

It's a damn slipperly slope I tell yah.. I was eyeballing $419 Ultimate Ears but decided that was WAY over my budget.
