SPL is SPL they shouldn't sound louder, perhaps you meant to say something else, perhaps more detailed, stronger/more distinct bass? If they were truly louder then the SPL was not the same. I would say there was obviously a much different sound from what you are used to with the M80s and you enjoyed this new sound which is what it is all about.


Lol!, yea... I meant the Def's were so much louder with the volume "dial" at the same level. Had to turn it down to get to 85db...
