I'm in the same boat... return day is in 2 days. Are you keeping yours? I like mine... just don't know if I like it enough to justify spending $200+ for it.

I have both. For my money I would go with the XB950bt. Better bang for your buck... BUT if you value controls on your cable, then get the Beats cause in passive mode you have no mic nor remote. I prefer the Sonys because Bluetooth is great. The bass is better when using the bass boost on...

Did you let them burn in? From what I remember... and I might have written it in my review, these headphones needed a good burn in to open up. As far as frequency buzz I did not have that issue.   You can also control the volume separately with your device as the volume control on these...

How long have you had them? Mine don't bother me anymore and the pads have softened.

After a few days of use I'm pretty sure it is normal. The volume is about 1 decibal lower than with the stock cable but still usable with an iPhone. I just have to have the volume all the way up or just 1 click down from highest volume. I think it has to do with the actual control. The break...

So I don't like how long the included cables for the ATH-m40x. I don't understand why they made to make the plug proprietary but anyway...   I picked up a set of iOS control cables from eBay. Quality wise they aren't bad, same thickness as the ones that come with Beats headphones, the remote...

What's your final decision? How do they compare to the m40x and m50x in your opinion if you've auditioned them.

I don't use my XB700s very much anymore and noticed that Amazon has a pretty amazing trade in deal for them. They're offering $103 right now, (it was $106 like 2 hours earlier too. :( ) and I'm thinking I might trade them in. I think I bought them for 86 bucks back in 2010 when I worked at Sony...

Did you burn them in first? I just got mine a few hours ago. They sound pretty good so far good punchy clean bass. I've gone all over the spectrum from Taylor Swift to Reel Big Fish and now Rammstein. Good for the price but not the amazing. Some decent sparkle in the highs. I'll let them burn in...

Anyone else give these a try? I just ordered a pair. Hope they're as good as some of the reviews have said...

I'm interested in checking them out too! How difficult would it be for a newbie? I've never modded headphones but I have modded other devices but nothing crazy. I'd love to see how you take these things apart.

Ah, yeah I didn't go back to read the direct quote when I wrote mine. "Bass emphasized", my apologies on the misquote. Maybe it's because I came from the 1RBT to the 10RBT that I found it little lacking in bass, but great with clarity. I once described them as like the GRADO SR-80s with a tinge...

Wow.... a ton of posts since I posted about the sale! Cool! Glad these things are catching on!    Still my favorite headphones to date!   For the person asking about how they sound while using the phone. My mom could not tell I was on a headphone, when I was wearing the XB950BTs While with...

It will be $99 on 11/23 which is the coming Sunday...

Here it is Sorry it took a few days to take this pic. Sale starts on Sunday. I kind of want to buy a 2nd pair as a back up for this price.
