I'm leaning towards the PRO700s mainly because of the detachable cable, since I'm fearing that I'll somehow ruin the M50s due to something with the cable, and I also don't have any soldering experience or tools to change out the cable. I really want to give them a shot, but the main thing I don't want is the earpads pressing on my ear, but instead of to go around. I tried looking around but can't find how large the earpads are, so wondering if anyone here had the dimensions.

I can attest that the M50s are definitely circumaural, though if you have really big ears they might touch the edges. I assume the PRO700s are similar.

Okay I am having a huge problem. When I compared my Ultrasone HFi 2400 to the 20 dollar Koss UR20, the Koss UR20 have a much stronger bass response......

 Do I have a defective pair of 2400s??

Closed headphones have a different bass response than open ones.

 

[Rezound Sound]

Anyone have the Amperior's? Tyll says they are really good. Does anyone else agree? Are they better than the DT1350? But most of all, do they leak sound, and do they need an amp?

Different in what way?

Open headphones leak by nature, therefore bass response is reduced. If you want to compare headphones like that, do so between two pairs of closed or open headphones, not an open pair and a closed pair.

right. But is it true open headphones have better mids and treble than closed headphones? And do you mean the quantity of the bass is reduced, or the quality of the bass is reduced on open headphones?

The Denon HP700s have some really good reviews, so you should go look those up around here. Also, the K81 and 518LE are the same, just in different colors. They're also fairly popular, and are known for strongish bass and pretty good isolation, though they clamp, and overall sound quality is a step under the HP700s.

Thanks for the recommendation even though i never tried other iems before except the triple.fi

I've owned the Westone 4 and really enjoyed it. I've also owned the DT880 and AKG K702 (though not the the t70). That being said a HD600 and even a Fiio E9 handily beats the Westone 4. If you like the Westone 4, I think you'll enjoy the HD600 more than the DT880 or the AKG K702. If you've tried other iem, I'd compare the DT880 to the triple.fi and the AKG K702 to a ER4. You should be able to get that set up used for around $250-275.

Hi, I just gave up from buying from a store and I get my money back, so I seek an other place to buy also suggest for headphones. I am living in Turkey so it should have international shipping option.

I seek Clarity, GOOD mids, Seperetion and overall bass. I thought that I am an basshead but i dont. I want to be an audiophile and get the every detail in music. I just don't want too bright sound, gives me headache. I actually like dark sounding. The music that I listen most is Rap, but it is different from US rap, not bass oriented. Price range is max 200$.

I looked to Sony ZX700, SH HD 518 or any higher models that i can buy for 200$. What do suggest, I actually want brands SONY or Sennheiser. Or would you recommend something else?

Thanks.

P.s : Sorry for my bad English.
