these or the Q701's?

Of course that K702! The strip of leather is smooth and does not bulge, which makes the headphones more comfortable.

Not surr about q701s but if they are identical performance wise like others have said, go for the 702s. The 702s are extremely comfortable and the sound prod. is first class.

The Ks have a much better soundstage and crystal clear midrange, the Qs not as clean, equalized for more mass-market appeal. Have owned both (sold the Q) and for my money it's no contest.

No, Cambridge Audio states that the 651P has higher quality internal components, enhancements to the circuit design & there is a 'rumble' (LF) filter. However, both of these units are for the casual enthusiast, and I doubt the 651 is worth the extra $$$ if you will be staying with a moving magnet cartridge. For a sophisticated playback system and discerning ears, I'd pass on both, for casual listening, the less expensive model should be fine.

I had the 700Xs before these, if you like the sound of the 700xs you will love the sound of these. I find that the noise supression on these much better than the 700s. Since I work in cubeville... it is great to be able to listen to music at whatever level I like without my neighbor knowing I am listening at all.

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've not heard the "Quincy Jones" variation (no place around here to audition any of them), but from looking at the frequency response graphs on various websites, I'm guessing that those have a little bit of bass boost, while the 702's are more neutral in terms of bass response.

By no means definitive here, since I went through the same questions before I bought these. These are open, vs. closed on the 170's. So the 170's will keep out more of the ambient noise in your environment than these will. These also will be audible easier to other people in the area, depending on the volume that can be VERY much so. Even at low volume you can hear it fine four or five feet away. I preferred the open though since I am a single parent with a 9 year old son, so I like hearing if he hollers out during the night when I'm doing something else. But for me the clincher was the far more comfortable velour ear pieces. They breathe, so your skull around your ears won't get as sweaty and wet like the fake leather stuff on the 170's will do. Now, you CAN buy the velour ear covers for the 170's, but they ran like $45 and I only found them overseas so the price difference would've been lost by the time I went that route anyway. Spec-wise, they're pretty identical with a similar feature set. I could find nothing that would push me for one over the other on a purely sound level aspect.

Go with the Micca MB42x series and you will be much happier. I got these Dayton's a month or so ago and quality was terrible. Much happier With my Miccas.

l do not own the M50s... so l cant answer your question... However, common sense tells me the PRO700MK2 should isolate better from the outside as they appear to exert a tighter pressure on your head than the M50 does. Also, take into account that the PRO700s are DJs HPs so l guess they must have been designed to provide more isolation than the M50s... Your choice!

I have a pair of PMX70s and I too wanted an upgrade. I made the mistake of getting the PMX680s which sound like crap--don't waste your money on the 680s! At this point, I'm going to try the PMX90s which are probably not the best for sweaty runners, but for $22 shipped I don't mind giving them a shot. Plus I have an extra set of non-foam pads from my HD25-1 IIs which I will retrofit onto the PMX90 drivers.

they are completely different. M50 are closed, transportable, rugged - better for dj, on the move... K701 are for home use only. max comfort, open (=of course much better sound). Adam, in-ear.com

I never saw or heard the hm-700, but you can consider the re-400 ear pieces balanced, if colored sound is your concern. They are very lean on the bass, more mid-range focused. When my pair were burned in after about a week of use, they lost all the bass, I couldn't tolerate them, so they were returned. If you want analytic audio gear, you will love these.

The pro700's had more bass to them but it really muffled the other ranges to the point that I really didn't like the sound. The ATH-M50's are my favorite headphone I've tried yet. Good rounded sound but decent bass too. I love them. Also the M50's are much more comfortable.

Hi mate I had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

Hah! I'm also a tried-and-true PMX70 fan, wanted to upgrade, tried the PMX680, found them to be terrible, went with a PMX80, they broke after a handful of uses... now rebuying assuming I just got a bad set.I feel the PMX80 is a little more heavy-duty and better-sounding, but I've not done a side-by-side.

No quality difference! But keep in mind, these headphones have literally no bass to them. I love JLab, and these are my least favorite. Go with the J4's. They have the most powerful bass and overall gorgeous sound. I have had multiple friends switch to the J4's.Enjoy!!

I recommend the Sennheiser HD448s. They sound great and are very clear like the 595s, which I also own. However, they need a good 50+ hours of burn in to really reach their full potential.
