alright guys is there any headphone out there that has more midbass, i.e impact punchy bass than the pro700mk2's as this thing is a beast.

 
For punchy midbass I doubt there's much more than Sony XB800/900 and V-Moda LP2. Even the LP2 had slightly greater midbass punch than XB500 which are no slouch there either, far from it. At least I've never experienced especially drums hitting with such "hammer-like" experience like on LP2. The Sony XB800's pads hurt the bass impact a little bit, would be better if it was circumaural, then it would provide a more "skin-tickling" impact but the quantity is definitely maybe more than LP2 but LP2 you maybe feel it better in comparison.

How would you say these are as compared to beats solo hd? I bought beats solo and have not opened the package yet...

No comparison. These actually produce the whole sound spectrum - yes it's coloured and dark sounding, but with some EQ you can make them sound hi-fi, better than the M50. Beats are all upper bass and lower mids, and not much else.

Against the Sony XB500, would the Audio Technica PRO700MK2 be a upgrade if i am looking for more bass?

 

[blueangel2323]

Not sure if it will be more bass per se as I haven't heard the XB500 in a long time, but better quality bass for sure.

Against the Sony XB500, does the pro700mk2 have more bass?

 

[Dutchi MerenGue]

Out of the box unamped no.

But with eq the pro700mk2's can be brought up to xb500 bass levels without damaging the other frequencies to much. The quality of the bass is also far beyond the xb500's

Yeah the bass on the XB500 is very muddy.

COPs VS Pro700mk2 ?
 
 
I want to buy the COP because of the high quality and the its fun sound, but I'm still considering the V-Moda LP2 and the Pro700mk2? (especially the pro700)
 
  any advice

Guys
 
I just acquired the pro700mk2 and required a 10ft straight cable. Does anyone know where I could get a decent after market one?
 
Thanks!

 

[blueangel2323]

Any standard 3.5mm cable would work, as long as the plug is thin enough to fit inside the recessed jack.

You could also buy a cable extension.

After reading this review I ordered me a pair.
Just received them, and I'm not impressed at all.
The only other "decent" pair of headphones I have are the Koss Porta Pro's, and they sound 3 times better then these.
Also compared to my Porta Pro's there's almost no bass in these, are the Porta Pro's like super bassy and am I just used to very heavy bass ?
I've tried hooking them up to my receiver, makes no difference, a little bass boost and everything sounds distorted.
Could I have received a bad pair, or do I have wrong expectations ?

Since you called the Portapro "super bassy" than that means you're not a basshead. No basshead would call the portapro bass heavy, only non-basshead call the portapro bass heavy. 
My guess is the signature is too dark for you, maybe something like the HD25-1 II is closer to your preference.
 
I've been telling everyone who was interested in buying this headphone, you need to amp it and boost the bass to get that big bass talked about in this thread.

I think something is wrong with one of the headphones. Porta Pro's should not have more bass sthan the Pro700.
