Updated review: http://www.head-fi.org/products/sony-mdr-as800ap-splashproof-sporty-in-earphone-black-international-version/reviews/16104   Sony MDR-AS800AP     It seems 2014 was the year I reignited my respect for Sony and their products. In the past I found that Sony purchases...

I have looked through the list of Sony MDR model numbers on esupport.sony in the W series and only 5 come up. I Am looking for a particular one (possibly discontinued) that is in the MDR series. It is different because it has a mic. Can anyone help? It's vertical in the ear, over the head, HAS A...

Hi all.  The only genre of music I listen to is Electronic and I need something with a lot of bass and sound quality. My budget is around $200. Any help? I've previously had Audio-Technica ATH-WS55 Solid Bass Headphones, but they broke. I need something with a bit more bass and quality for...

Now i know theres lots of threads about this but i just cant get a satisfying answer...i currently have xb700 and i *****'d them up...im thinking of ah-d1100, some akg headphones or maybe beyerdynamics too (only looking for over-the-ears, not on ears) , id say that $170 is the max price. Some...

I've tried out the Beats pro's, crossfade - M100's , sony xb800's and Yamaha pro 500's Beats pro : i was disappointed with the overloaded bass of the Beats-line, so i decided to try this more (balanced) clean out of the house. I don't get that nice vibrating rumble bass that i want.. Sony...

So yesterday i tested out the JBL J55 and REALLY liked them, i felt that the build quality was better than my sony xb500s. Upon going online, i found that the j88(over ear) are 10-20$ more depending on if i want these 2day(prime on amazon) or regular 5 day(ebay). i then began to compare...

I am getting ready to purchase ANOTHER set of headphones. Need help with those of you who know more about these choices than me!! By the way i listen to almost completely dubstep. Looking for ALOT of bass and a headphone that can handle power from an amp. Also has semi good mids and highs. I...

Okay, so I was stupid one day and used Audacity to bassboost all my rap songs, because I loved the feel of strong bass. I had the notion that no matter how loud the bass I played, I will be fine (I thought it was treble that causes hearing loss). Well, I maxed the volume and listened to 1 hr...

I have been a fan of this site for quite a long time, usually getting my queries answered by existing threads. But recently i got across this offer of XB-800/900 for 110 bucks, i have already seen people discriminating this phone but after auditioning the XB-600 i thought this phone would be...

So I've been enjoying the XB900 all day today.  If they are the same as XB800 then there is something wrong with my XB800.  The XB900 sounds like the X10.  It's awesome!  I'm gonna get another pair of XB800 just to see if there is something wrong with my XB800 because the XB900 is 10x better...

A little background. Im currently using iems and am a noob when it comes to headphones. I like listening to rock pop and dance music and i like to listen to it loud so based on reading around I should be getting some closed headphones since I will be using it mostly for my commute.  My wish list...

I know this comparison is a little weird...it's like comparing a Toyota with a Mercedes,but I was just wondering which has more and better bass. The Sony are meant to be bass heavy,but I heard that the Denon are also quite a bit overpowering to many people....though they say it sounds great...

Hey fellow music appreciators,   I own a pair of MDR-XB1000s and have recently had the issue of the hinges that connect the headband to the speakers squeaking.  I figure that using some wd-40 or something may work but im not sure how to apply it.    any suggestions would be helpfull thanks

Hi,   I have xb700, Fiio E9 amp and E7 DAC. So I have DAC combo with almost 1 Watt of power.   Bass? If I increase it to +6 dB, it's finally there, but it's muddled and uncontrolled. The thing is, when I plug the headphones to my tv, there it sounds like it should - controlled bass that...

Boys but no one knows more technical advise me, I have to make my choice with regard to the headphones, which take sony sony xb800 or XB700? both cost 110 euro. Point much bass and portability.

I've not seen too much love for any of these models for some odd reason. After a bit of a painful headphone buying dilemma, while simply trying on the headphones at Target one day, I came across the XB600s sitting on the Sony rack (surprise, next to the beats rack.) along with the overpriced X...

Feel each pulsating thump with the super-powerful MDR-XB800 XB Series over-the-ear headphones. Designed for today's popular music lovers, these Extra Bass headphones combine a unique direct vibe structure for a tight acoustic seal with high sensitivity XB driver units. Additionally, these...

As the title suggests, I am looking for bass.   I recently started a job that will permit me to work with headphones, and I am looking for something with good isolation, and I want BASS and I'm not afraid to admit it.   Currently I have Sennheiser HD-508 headphones - so I know what...

Here's the MDR-XB600.  I will post the XB800 video tomorrow.  I will do a video with new and old MDR-XB headphones together for comparison.  stay subscribed.     MDR-XB800 unboxing.    

What are some good portable cans that have better rattle your ears sub bass and clarity than beats for under $180? I also want them to perform well without a amp.

Hello everybody, this is my first ever post on head-fi and hopefully not my last. I'm looking for some good headphones for bass that work for hip hop and dubstep. I'm a casual listener and don't want to look into amps. My campus allows headphones in class while working so I need them to be...

Christmas is coming soon and a female friend is looking for a pair of headphones. What are your suggestions? She can't stand "suctioney" IEM's or "HUGE" over the ear models. I was looking at something kind of like the HD238 or possibly a true earbud with no suction, just haven't kept up on...
