What id like is a good subbass rumble, without strangling the mids, i dont need alot of sparkle in the highs and would prefer them be mildly recessed. Soundstage imaging isnt too big of an issue for me, but i enjoy having good depth and width to it. Iwill drive them on the go with a smartphone. Isolation is preferred, but ill be using in my house or maybe library, so not a big issue (i do Not like open back though). Sennheisers slogan for the urbanite line is what im looking for in the most part "massive bass with uncompromising clarity". I listen to alot of genres, but the majority is hip hop and metal

I'd suggest the Urbanite XLs. More thump than rumble, but meet all your other criteria on the nose.

Don't forget the JBL Synchros S400bt, amazing power, nice v shaped signature.
The JBL Everest 300 and the Beats Solo 2 are also good for that music.
The Polk Hinge too.
A few more too. Must test more.

I am comparing them side by side with the 1ABT. I suppose those should sound similar to the 1A.
And they indeed have a loose bass.
The 100 have a tighter deeper bass. More precise and controlled. It may be more intense in some moments, because of its concentration.
The 1 have a loose bass which is wider and invades more frequencies.
So at the end they may be quantitatively similar in bass but the quality is different and so depending on the music one or the other would sound more bassy.
But none of them is really bassy.
The 100 are more detailed overall, the most detailed Sony ever.
The 1 are smoother.
Both are very nice. The choice depends only on tastes.
They also feels different. Even in the feel the 1 is smoother. The 100 is a bit harder in the pads. But both are comfortable. Sony generally makes comfortable pads.

Im very likely ordering these tommarrow. how Are the imaging and soundstage? I have sony zx100 so i can take advantage of ldac function also.

you mean the 100abn?
Nice soundstage, very clean and detailed sound with good separation. The stage is deeper than in the 1abt, which may be a bit wider.
Both are good, i would decide based on signature and kind of music (1 are smoother and with looser bass, 100 are more engaging and tighter denser bass).

Im torn between ws99 or sony 100aap bt. I imaging sony is slightly better but is it worth 2x the ws99 price

it's 100abn.
And, there is no better. Not at this level. All is relative to the needs and tastes of people.
Both are very good, but different.
Both are worth the price if you look for that sound.
It depends on what you want.
You can't compare them in terms of better worse, because they're too different.

I went to test the everest 300 anc, they were very very nice in fact I might go for them, 7001 elite were almost good but they were too small for my big head

Have you tested the 1ABT and 100ABN with LDAC yet?

 

[Giogio]

Have you tested the 1ABT and 100ABN with LDAC yet?

the 1abt yes. With normal music no difference at all, even with flac.
I suppose you need to have music recorded in hi-res or the ldac is pretty useless.

I haven't myself tested LDAC at all, but I must say my belief was if it made any difference at all, it would be very minimal and this seems to confirm that. I can't hear any difference with high resolution myself anyway so that really wouldn't sway me.

there is a discussion thread for them where could be interesting to post.
I don't have this problem.
I have tried two units.
Can you describe it more?
Did you try other BT headphones? It may be kind of normal.

I have never experienced this with my Divine so that is most certainly not normal.

Anyone here tried the Marshall Major Bluetooth headphone? All I know is that it has 30hrs of battery, but compared to similar BT headphones, how does it fair?
