Hey folks. Haven't been keeping up with headphones much these days. XB500s used to be my favorite headphones for fun, escessively bassy listening. Unfortunately, I lost mine a while ago. I'd get a set again if they weren't so expensive due to their rarity. Has anything similar in terms of...

Somic has some quite nice products from what I've seen on here. I imagine that these would likely be worth the money considering their other offerings. The headband also looks well padded as apposed to the the melted fruit roll-up that sony tried to cushion the 500s with. 

You could just use a 3.5mm to USB adapter. That's what I use to play games on my ps3, and I imagine the ps4 will have similar capabilities. 

Quote: The MKIIs come with some extra pads and cables I believe. Also a different color. No sound difference between them. 

I'm guessing you enjoy the bass that they offer? I always found them a bit muddy. The HD439 are very comfortable and will offer a bit more clarity compared to the 202, and they have a good bit of bass as well. 

DBI pro 700. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slightly-Used-dbi-PRO-700-Headphones-Commercial-Grade-w-miniplug-/261017130216?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc5d554e8#ht_500wt_1413   Best for under $50

Get a pair of DBI pro 700. They're my go-to headphone.  http://www.ebay.com/itm/Slightly-Used-dbi-PRO-700-Headphones-Commercial-Grade-w-miniplug-/261017130216?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3cc5d554e8#ht_500wt_1413   They suit bass heavy music well and have excellent clarity and pretty...

Those are both quite bad headphones for their price. You would be far happier with a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 pro/80. If you want them for portable use, get the V-moda crossfade LP2. They have the bass you desire and they are easily carried around.

Quote: I'd say they have quite nice bass extension. They hit mid bass a bit better than sub, though sub is still very nice and satisfying. The detailis nothing too amazing, though with electronic it does fare well.  In this track which has subsequent gunshots, they sound detailed and...

Ah, so you too enjoy witch house/dark ambient. I feel you would be happy with a pair of Ultrasone HFI-580. They are excellent for almost any form of electronic, and perform well on many other genres. (plus they are shiny)

Quote: I thought that Angerfist was Hardstyle?  This is more what I think of as gabber. 

It's narrow, not very tall either. It's like that for really any closed 'phone. 

Wow, those Circumaurals look a lot like these  http://www.amazon.com/Superlux-Black-Dynamic-Closed-Back-Headphones/dp/B00628B1AW . Anyway, I can't wear Supra aurals for a long time because I have oddly shaped ears, so I get lots of pressure on my ears. Although, the MJ591 look very nice and...

I'd say get them, then sell them for 250. Then buy yourself an upgrade.

In my opinion, Pioneer should stop with all the on ears. I'd buy a pair of these, or even a pair of the bass head ones if they were over ear. On ear is something I can't stand.
