I am currently running Sundown SA 12's In the enclosure. Jl is great I have owned 12W7's before but no turning back for me. Only issue is they knocked off my rear view mirror. You can get SA 12s around 199 a piece, to me outstanding value for their insane performance

My initial attempt to use with an Android OS phone was not good, volume buttons did not work, and person on other end could not hear me through the microphone. Have not tried any add-ons yet. As striaght headphones, I love the SOL Republic. Hope this helps.

They're way better than the Skull Candy ones, and I'd say they're about the same as the Sonys, but the sound is a little clearer on the basses. The Sennheisers are also more comfortable than both by a good long way. They're not "isolation" headphones, so you'll hear outside noises, but they're great for swearing for hours at a time. I've had them for 2 years now, and I can't highly reccomned them highly enough.

I have both of them and I can honestly tell you that, sound wise, these are better. They also seem to fit more snugly around the ear without being uncomfortable, and they do not leak as much sound. But build quality wise- the mdr xb500 stands out much more. The swivel design tends to be more easier to break than the solid design of the sony mdr-xb500. The wire of the sony mdr-xb500 series is also thicker. These have a more striated design. If you tend to go through headphones due to breaking, I would not recommend these headphones.

I haven't listened to the sol headphones, but I can say that the aviators are not bass heavy at all. They have a very natural sound to them, but I would not recommend them if you are looking for heavy bass.

I dont know if they have "superior sound quality" but what i do lnow is that they have very different uses. The QC 25 are intended for traveling while the SEN HD8 are for djing. Sennheiser (in their higher range headphones) has way better quality making different instruments and sound in general clearer and easier to identify therefore better to dj with. They are pretry good traveling and listening headphones. They do not have noise canceling but still do a pretty good job at isolating as long as its not VERY noisy. NOW! i would NEVER buy Bose cans...they break, period. bose has great marketing bit their crap breaks. Dont waste your money, go Senn. They are solid and confortable.

I think they are not good at all. The noise level of this camera is high even at base ISO. Previous versions (ZS1 and ZS3) are much better.

I bought mine about a year and a half ago. Most likely if the 2.1's sound better to you, give them a shot.

I have the same question! I'm having the same experience with the Sonys and that's why I'm thinking of purchasing these. Did you find out anything?

More refined, better quality bass. Better mids and hights. I will quote this reviewer who heard a cheaper and not as good pair of Ultrasone's, "I have the ultrasone hfi 580s and am borrowing my friends beats pro over the weekend and i have compared them. The beats suck. They have decent bass but the music lacks mids/ highs, clarity and depth. Ultrasones kick the crap out of beats in th bass catagory. The ultrasones have a deeper and tighter bass. It sounds great. In the beats, the bass is only ok, it sounds flat and artificial. My sennheiser hd 238 has about as much bass unamped an they are half th size!" Hope this helps.

Yes, these will be too loud. The HDs will isolate more, but not be the same sound quality. Check out the NAD Viso HP 50 or the V-Moda M-100 (if you're a basshead) as these sound great and isolate very well. The NADs isolate slightly better. IMO, MRSpeakers makes the best sounding closed (sound isolating) hps, but they are not portable or even travel friendly.

In my opinion they are identical in terms of sound. The flat cords seem less fragile and tangle less. In my mind that is an improvement in terms of usability. I bought them to use with my phone. I still use the S4's with my mp3 player. If S4's are still working and you do not need the phone function there is no reason to upgrade other than the cords but that I do not think that is worth it. Best if luck.

I never had sols but I've had these about a month plus half and the left bud got no sound in it ..just stopped working. I'm very disappointed and regret spending the money on a cheap grade product. I'm not rough with them. I'd try sols products. When the original owner sells company like dre did the quality usually decreases.

Def clears out the outside noise. But everyone would hear what you're listening to at the same time. They're more for studio headphones. Try SOL republic.

We have a Sony and they work just like the Sony for a lot less money and I like the shape better. I believe they are a great deal, only thing better then being free.
