I purchased these and liked the sound but had to return them as they weren't comfortable on me. The pads while most go over your ear these slightly pinched my ear. Are there any mods out there to change the ear pads?

I haven't been here in awhile hoping you guys can help me. I'm still on the hunt for that Sony xb500 successor that is at least as good or better, unamped, comfort and bass wise. I've been searching for years but can't find anything. Hopefully there are some recommendations you guys can offer...

I realize this thread is very old but like the OP I'm still looking for that Sony xb500 replacement that is at least as good or better, unamped, comfort and bass wise. I've been searching for years but can't find anything. Hopefully there are some recommendations you guys can offer based on any...

I finally got them and love the sound on these things, great bass comparable to the xb500 but a lot better highs and mids. I love the controls and Bluetooth everything works flawless, definite upgrade. Where they are falling short for me though is on comfort, while the pads feel good they clamp...

I haven't been on here in years but for good reason. You all recommended me my last pair of headphones (xb500) and I've been happy ever since. I'm in the market for a similar upgrade, with wireless capability, hopefully similar bass and just a tad better highs and mids. I listen to a lot of hip...

I realize this is an old thread but am looking for exactly what the OP was looking for. Something boomier than the XB500 which I own that wouldn't require an amp. I have been reading numerous threads perhaps there's been some new released headphones since this topic, as of now 2014 what's out...

Did you end up getting the Crossfade LP's? How do you compare them in terms of bass to the XB500's?  I have the 500's and am looking to get a new bass headphone kind of bored with them, want something with the same bass but a bit better mids/trouble do these Crossfades fit the bill if not...

I realize this thread is very old but I'm in the market for some new bass headphones. I have the XB-500 and recently bought some Beats Studios but quickly returned them. They sounded so weak to me not very loud and there was no punch to them the bass sounded very weak.  I want to know are the...

Good breakdown between the two. Yeah, I really liked the Solo2s sound wise everything popped on them great clarity but the fit I just know I couldnt get used to. I want something over the ear for the most part. I assumed the new Studios being wireless could maybe hinder quality over Bluetooth...

Thank you for the response. I am not an audiophile and certainly don't discriminate my hip hop/rap can be anything from Gucci Mane, Chief Keef to underground artists like Atmosphere and Sage Francis. I have old tape converted to MP3 hissy Memphis rap from the 90's. I've got a lot of my stuff in...

I realize this thread is a bit old but what's the stance on these, at $79.99 on sale for Black Friday they worth it then? Do they still provide decent bass? How do they compare the either Sony XB500 or MDRX05?

These are not the same as the Solo Drenched in color version though right?

  So out of all these models listed as well Beats Solo Drenched for rap/hip-hop you guys would recommend the UE6000 (especially if looking for bass with no amp)? I posted here years back for recommendations and was told to get the XB500's got them and they've held up really well over the...

Good thread OP these Solo drenched in color are really tempting at the price. If we're looking for bass though are these not a good buy at all? How are they compared to the Sony XB500 bass wise? How about in comparison to the Sony MDRX05 or 10? How are the Solo's for rap music?   I have the...

I appreciate the post, sorry a little late as im barely digesting them in they sound pretty good for the most part. Nice bass that I even have to crank down it at times could blow your ears off I dont mind it though.   I tried the EQ settings and they sound ok but it seems im not getting...

Quote: I hope so....   BTW does anybody have any good recommendations/screen shots they can post of some of there iTunes EQ adjustments on the XB500?   I know iTunes is frowned upon here but I've got all my music collection on there and own iPad/iPhones/iPods etc so its all I...

I know right, definitely avoid sites like ebay I did purchase via amazon. I went ahead and went with the XB500's as I'm reading from most accounts they have got more punch and kick to them out the box which is what I want. I also decided on the 500 since the XB700 look somewhat similar in size...

I appreciate the input, oh yea forgot to mention I won't be wearing them in public really mainly at home or in the car on long road trips.

Hi guys, new here and about to purchase a set of cans. I admit im looking for some headphones that will blow my head off with bass. I am not looking for an accurate sound. Also ill be listening to about 75% Rap music so these and the XB500 models seem to fit the bill. I've read over the XB500 vs...
