i have the 500s i like the bass , but is worth to upgrade and buy the 700s ? i use the H whith my Laptop,Sony vaio f11 m1h whith realtek sound card and i think is work very well.i have also ipod touch but has a ****ty audio quality comparing whith my laptop.

 

I have also a little pair of sennheiser mx470...and the sound quality is outstanding,amazing ,you can hear anything,nothing is mufled,just sound perfect .dont have the bass of xb500 of course,but sounds much clearer....IMO. 

Now the question..... Is worth to buy a pair of sennheiser hd 595 ? the hd595 work without  amp ? i dont have any amp,and i dont want to use any amp ,the 700s will be an upgrade to me or not ?? thx guys,sorry for my english,is not my natural lang.:((

The XB line and the HD 5xx line are very different beasts. The Sonys are closed, bass emphisized cans while the Sennheisers are open and very neutral. The overall sound quality and soundstage will be better on the Sennheisers but if you are a basshead you won't like them. 

 

Check out Tyll's review of the XB line. Sounds like the 500s are the best choice of them so the 700s wouldn't be much of an upgrade.
