Yeah I think I am going to go with the PXC 550 just going to wait for prime day sale to see if it drops anymore. Same for bose EC35 if either drops below $300 I will pick it up in a heartbeat.

For $300 if your opened to refurbished there are more options. The mdr-1000x is good balanced option at $259 refurb from amazon. Additionally the PXC 550 is also great choice at $295 refurbished. Beside that it might be possible to get a qc35 for $300 on sale instead of $350. Overall all those...

Have you compared to other top of the line headphones like the mdr-1000x and pxc 550 or backbeat pro 2. I am inbetween the pxc 550, beoplay H4, and backbeat pro 2. I've heard good things about the beoplay h4 and they support AAC which is is a plus compared to the PXC 550. I tested and owned...

Interesting that an amp changes the bass significantly. I wouldn't have issue if I could adjust settings or plug by micro USB to computer but the Sonys do neither. That's one of the reasons I'm leaning toward the pxc 550 and qc35 as both have DAC and work with multiple devices in addition to...

I would honestly save the money and get some 598s from sennheiser for $169 usd instead. They have great sound quality and can additionally be used with mic if need be.

So I just got home been playing around with the mdr-1000x. Just wanted to give my initial impression which are the anc is good but not great as people are talking about the qc 35 still do a much better job at least the demo pairs I've tried compared to at home. I can still hear my girlfriend...

has anyone heard good things about the backbeat pro 2 or onkyo H500BT? I have read good things from other posters on headfi and rtings.com It seems like most of you guys are privy to the Sonys so we shall see later tomorrow how they hold up. It's honestly just frustrating how many good bt...

Does anyone know a location where I could test the beoplay h7's and HD1s as they are the unknown for me as I haven't tested sound quality on them. I am assuming the HD1 will be quite similar with the momentum 2.0 wireless but I may be wrong. I looked at bang & olfesen website and the closest...

So I have been to two different bestbuys trying pairs. The m1000x has be huge dissapointment both times with loud hissing and bad overall music quality. Surpringly the Sony 950B1 sounded much better with and without the extra bass mode. I also tested the PXC 550 which sounded amazing but I only...

So I have been looking over the forums for these headphones for last few days, I ended up ordering a refurbished Sony MDR-1000X which comes on Monday but I can cancel until Monday or return if I end up not liking it. I have been comparing it to other headphones and am having trouble making a...
