How do these Headphone compare to Sennheiser HD 439? I wanna buy either one of them. I like bass, but would also love to enjoy all types of music.

well I'm afraid I don't know much about the sennheisers, but what I can tell you is how fantastic the Sony's are. I've always been a skeptic when it comes to bass boosts because of how often All the bass boost really does is delete the treble and mids. somehow Sony pulls it off. these headphones truly do boost the bass while still holding on to the excellently crisp mids and highs. Sony simply has achieved that sweet spot of excellent bass and crisp sound that allow you to enjoy anything with a 3.5 millimeter jack. or a 40 I suppose. and all for an excellent price.

Not sure how they compare, but I can tell you they feel like clouds over your ears. VERY comfortable and great sound. You can listen to music at a normal level but it sounds very loud. We like them a lot!

I actually ordered both and ended up sending back the Sennheisers. Yes, the Sennheisers sound more airy/open, obviousy. And they are ridiculously comfortable. But apart from that, the Brainwavz win. The 598s have a very "warm" sound, which some people might like, but the HM5s had a much more clear and accurate sound. The 598s didn't have nearly as much bass. You couldn't really "feel" it the way you can with the HM5s, and the bass would occasionally peak out with really low stuff. All in all I would recommend the Brainwavz, hands down.

been wondering the same thing myself. The reviews for the HD428 have been marginally better. Honestly it looks like you will be immensely happy with either =P. But if money is an issue, keep in mind that the HD 428s are 45% off and the HD448s are only 24%here is sennheiser's website with the HD 428, 438 and the 448 for more info:http://www.sennheiserusa.com/private_headphones_mid-size-portables

I think the bass is really good. Is not like an over-ear headphone, but I think it is really good. Actually the best I've had considering only in-ears. I listen a LOT of blues and always amp up my bass. I haven't tried the EPH-100 though...

I would go with audio technica ath m50s. I had these AKGs and they were great but pricy for the quality- and if you're looking for bass these have flat response(you would need a headphone amp with eq settings to up the bass)

Hey man, so I think these headphones are more suited for edm style music. But, they still sound pretty great for other genres of music. The bass sounds a little too strong for my taste in rock and metal but if that's something you like by all means get them. I would recommend trying them out before you purchase them to see if they fit your preference, check online quite a few electronic stores carry them.

Is it possible that you mixed up this headphone with the Sennheiser HD 429S? The "S" version is the one with a built-in mic...

IMO they have one of the best bass that you can find in the any type of open and closed headphones. This proves that how senn can nail any kind of headphone category.

Unlike the Beats these headphones are Monitor headphones, meaning the sound is very balanced unlike the very bassy beats. The highs and mids are arent as drowned by the bass and plus the athm50's are much cheeper than the beats. Hope this helps :)

Have not compared these. Still feel the way the posts insert into the earpiece is weak and prone to break(both sides broke on my daughter's set). We replaced this headphone with the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear ($230)and the Bang and Olufsen BeoPlay H6 ($399) and have been happy with both. Hope this helps.

I haven't tried the Sennheisers but I do know that the Bose SoundTrues work very well with my classical music, both orchestral and opera. There is a bias toward rich lows and mids in the Bose, and that works well with this type of music. However, after returning my first pair because I thought there was too much bass, I was told about the 23 EQ settings in my iTunes Library. For the last 5 years, mine has been set to "Flat". Well, I bought another pair, put the EQ setting on "treble booster" and found it absolutely perfect. Not only did it maintain the deep lows but the tenor voices and soprano voices were beautiful. I suggest you try a pair, experiment with your EQ if you want (though a lot of people just like the sound of the SoundTrues right out of the box) and if you don't like them, most retailers (including Bose.com) will allow you to return them within 30 days or so. I think even if you enhanced the bass on these ("bass booster" setting) you find they are not as thumpity-bumpity boomy bass like Beats. Over half the people I know own Beats because they prefer bass over everything, but that is not what music is all about. Bose is balanced across the full sound spectrum. There is also a "classical" EQ setting in iTunes which makes these Bose bring out a nice richness for that type of music.

Both are great headphones. Everyone's description is pretty head-on from what I've read. I remember buying the HD280's at target on clearance- I opened them in the car out of excitement. They had REALLY TIGHT bass. The PX100 is more sloppy, but it's a really fun headphone unlike the PX100. I enjoyed it alot for most of my music (Electronica, Rap, Metal, Trance). The bass really hits on the 280's.

As a guy who runs myself I prefer an in ear headphone to an over the ear model such as this. My suggestion is to check out the Sennheiser Precision model cx 300-ii. These have plenty of umph in the bass department without emptying your pocket book.

the bass is amazing. it's fast, tight, and has tremendous range. here are the other open headphones I've listened to, in comparison: beyerdynamic dt880 32ohm - much lighter bass impact. the 880 is nowhere near the range and impact of the he400. it doesn't go as low, isn't as detailed, and isn't as impactful. sennheiser hd598 - the sennheiser has even less bass than the dt880 so the same comparison applies, but the gap between it and the he400 is even bigger. sennheiser hd600/650 - i'll lump these two together, though i'll focus more on the 650 which in my opinion has superior bass to the 600. the 650 can somewhat compete with the he400 in terms of impact. it's less controlled and detailed, but still has some decent weight. the he400 still has more detail and clarity in the bass, and probably more impact as well but it's closer than the other headphones. the bass of the 650 is very slow, so it can get muddy/boomy at times. that really doesn't happen with the he400. the planar driver is so fast even double bass drums on speed metal tracks are tight and well defined. you can hear each individual hit on the drum. the 650 is too slow so you lose that fine detail. all in all the he400 is a real star in the bass department. if you're coming off closed headphones they still might seem light at first, but once you acclimate to them you'll start to realize just how good that bass is. and if you're coming off other open headphones, you're likely going to be blown away, assuming you haven't heard audeze or other high end headphones. don't expect ear melting bass impact, it's not there. it's linear, tight, powerful, and natural sounding. by far the best bass of any headphone I've owned. hope that helps.

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!!

Hey Nick.I purchased these a few weeks ago, and I can tell you these headphones are extremely comfortable.I am a music producer, and It's frequent for me to spend 6+ locked down making music. I can tell you I've worn the HD 558 and after a while, you don't even notice you're wearing them.I highly recommend them.Hope it helps you.Cheers.

I would say they are great in both. Where I work out there are a lot of T.V. sets and people talking and I can bearly hear them, even if the headphones aren't on too loud. As far as bass goes I would also say great. I loved them so much I ordered a pair for my husband who also uses them at the gym. Hope this answers your question.
