I am wearing the hd428 right now. It has a very good soundstage and nice warm sound signature. You might hear new things you've never heard before in music, but this is all going to be in the mids and highs (the mids are more pronounced). The bass is tight and nice, but not anywhere near...

try out the bass reducer setting, it really tames the exaggerated bass, and if you look at its frequency chart, would make it somewhat flat.

I just came over to my friend's house yesterday and brought over my Sennheisers with my PA2V2 amp. He says he likes them, but they have "no bass". And then he goes and says he likes Beats, and I try to convince him to buy something better. At the moment, he has 200$ to spend, uses a Blackberryy...

cx300 = big overpowering bass m50 = punchy bass, some say light, some say strong. its all due to preference.  hfi-580 - better quality and more quantity than m50 if u want more bass, get the phiaton ms400  

lol

i know this may be like comparing apples to oranges but What are the differences in sound quality comparing the MTPG and the ATH-M50?

Quote: the different colored boxes don't really have a different sound, it's just a placebo effect that people got after misreading an article about burn-in, where the "newer" one didn't sound like the "older" (the burnt-in one) one. burn-in > different boxes    

well what state do you live in, and what headphones do you want to test out?

Quote: well the HFI-580s are going to be more of a "in your face" kind of headphone while the srh-840 is more laid-back the first time you try the srh-840, you would really like it as it really shows you the details in a song, but you would get bored real quick of its analytical sound...

  drop the beats off your list, it is waaay too overpriced.  if your really serious about your music, the monster turbine coppers are one of the best IEMs at the moment (comparable to many high end IEMs) the one with the most bass is between the ms400 and the hfi 580 ive heard the hfi...

Quote: how would u compare the ultrasones and phiatons in terms of soundstage, instrument seperation, isolation, and comfort?    

Quote: i was also thinking about getting the phiaton ms400s. they seem to have pretty good reviews around here and plus, they look pretty. haha. how do the phiaton's fare to the s4s and the 750djs?    

oooh, can you review the Ultrasone Hfi-580 and the Klipsch Image One next? im thinking about getting one of those or the ms 400

still haven't made up my mind, thanks for the replies though. oh, one more thing i want to add. will either of these be a significant upgrade from my Klipsch S4?

bump

I'm thinking about upgrading from my Klipsch Image S4 (which sound great IMO) ive narrowed my choices down between these 2 headphones  i listen to a wide variety of music, but mostly Trance, Hardstyle, and Metal. what are the differences in comfort, isolation, soundstage, instrument...

are you willing to buy over ear or on ear headphones too?

great bass and clarity Shure SRH750DJ

Sony XB500 no headphone has stronger bass than that (maybe Shure srh750DJ)

o: my klipsch image s4i gave about the same quality sound of the demo that was at best buy.  how do these fare to the ATH-M50?

Have you chosen a headphone yet? If you haven't, I highly reccomend the s4i or the ProMedia, I used to have them with a bad seal and not entirely burned in. Now their burned in and I have a good seal and they sound amazing! Great bang for your buck. 

http://www.head-fi.org/forum/thread/526258/first-impressions-nuforce-ne-700x-earphones-iem-non-mic-version-post-your-thoughts-here Check that out I have the s4i and have to say they are really good for the price, although, the highs can be harsh and sibilance IS present. Soundstage is great tho...

Quote: well what i have seen is that the silicone tips that sony gives has a small hole, and the comply foam tips have a relatively bigger hole. does that make a difference in the sound?

  im not sure if im posting on the right forum, but wutever. ive gotten some t400 comply foam tips quite a while ago. i use the Sony MDR XB40EX in ear headphones and i was pretty used to the silicone tips. a few days ago, i switched the silicone for the foam and heard a drastic change in...
