My local Best Buy had the 950's on display but I could only listen to the demo tracks, unfortunately they didn't have the 650's so I could compare the two. I like the bass on the 950's and they're really comfortable; but I'm not sure how accurate of a listening session it was

Thanks for responding; I already have the Solo2 Wireless haha. They don't have enough bass for me, in fact, they have a similar amount of bass to my HD598's. I am going to look into those Sony's though!

To give a frame of reference, I have a pair of Beats Solo 2's and Sennheiser HD598's. I like the way the Sennheisers sound, but I'm looking for something closed back and bass heavy. Preferably supra-aural because I'm going to be using them to work out with.   Edit: I'm trying to stay under...

I've got a pair of Solo 2's that I use every day since I got them.The build quality is really good, despite the fragile appearance. I believe the frame is made of metal on the inside. These things can take a small amount of abuse. I've thrown them into my backpack and no scuffs here! Granted, I...

Thank you for the response. I am looking for supra aural headphones though. Which is why I was looking at the Solo 2's. I have a pair of circum aural headphones that I use in my dorm room. I have demo'd the Momentums, though, but I don't prefer those or the momentum on ear's.

I'm currently thinking about the Beats Solo 2's since they got really good reviews, but I'm not entirely sure. I listen to pretty much all genres of music. I'm basically just looking for portable headphones with more comfort and bass (and equivalent or better sound quality) than the XS.

I'm trying to find something that sounds as close to those as possible. Looking for crisp clear sound, great bass, but good all rounders. I listen to all types of music; comfort is one of my priorities. I'd like to keep the price as low as possible, but at this point, I'm just searching around...

I'm hunting around for a good headset for use with an Xbox One. Trying to keep the price below $200 (this includes used pricing). I was thinking about buying some Astro A40's, the 2013 edition with the new mixamp. I want it to have a built in microphone, and of course it should be comfortable...

I am just wondering how these would fare out with movies and video games; if they'd be alright or if their sound signature would be annoying for them.

I just went through multiple articles about real vs fake ones and I'm positive I have real ones

I bought them brand new from a Naval Base exchange store

That's true, but I'm trying to get a price that's closer to Amazon's new price, not Ebay's pricing.

I opened them and listen to them for about 2 minutes and decided there's no way in hell I'm keeping those. Only thing is, they're going to be a little harder to sell now that I opened the box.

They are the old model, but I got them on a naval base discount. They were already 50% off of the original $300, but they had an additional 50% off on top of that. So I paid $75 for them. At that price, I'm just wondering, for their sound and functionality, are they worth it?

I demo'd these at Best Buy and they sound pretty good to my ears. But I'm not an audiophile, just an enthusiast.

Overall the XS is cheaper, and apparently sounds better overall too. Sounds like a winner to me

Really? I'd like some custom shields! I was gonna buy some gold ones anyways.

Interesting, I do think that I would be trying the XS first, if I can. It seems like the better option for me overall, from what you both are saying.

I'm starting to think the XS is more of the way to go. As for fitment, I did put on a pair of on ear headphones at Best Buy to see what they are like, (Monster DNA) they weren't bad, but they weren't quite as comfortable as over ears. But portability is still an issue for me, and wearing the...

I don't plan on using a DAC or Amp with my setup. I'd just be using my phone. Which do you prefer without a dac/amp?

Hmmm, maybe I won't get the XL pads if I get the M-100. I'm not really worried about isolation too much. Since I listen to all genres, it's harder for me to pick. Which pair of headphones produces a more clear and crisp sound? 

Thanks! It's just these three for reference. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P8a4iiOnzsc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bag1gUxuU0g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ifkBc6Vcep8

I kind of wish I could get both! But I don't have the money for that, and it doesn't seem worth it. I am leaning toward the M-100's though, with the XL pads, the comfort and isolation should be even better. Would you be willing to listen to a couple of songs for me through both headphones and...

I'm looking for whichever pair of headphones sounds better overall. I can get them both for similar prices through amazon (XS would be new, M-100 would be used). I listen to all genres, but I am looking for some great bass and forward mids. Also, how does the comfort of these headphones...
