You can get third party cables that have a mic. Don't discount these based on that if you're serious about good headphones.

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

Most of these responses are right on target. Rather than "Beat" Igor up for his question, most of you gave diplomatic answers that helped educate Igor about audio sound. That is the way these questions SHOULD be answered. No sarcasm and no ridiculing. For my answer, the Beats will give you fashion/style, you will be "cool" and both the lows and highs will be over accentuated. The Beats are closed back so your sound won't leak out. The Sennheisers are open so everyone around you will hear what you are listening to. The Beats will be easy to drive with a portable device. The 650s will need an amp. For pure accuracy of sound, the 650s are legendary. For portability, fashion and easy to drive, the Beats are also legendary. If you plan on listening at home, the 650s blow the Beats away. If you are a portable guy, the Beats will work but investigate portables more. You can do better than the Beats.

I don't have the XB500's. These are definitely heavy on bass and sometimes it can need some EQ to hear other music as good. Still a great, durable pair of headphones.

Two different priced headphones, overall ATH-M50X is better especially now that they added the removable cable. The biggest gripe about the SRH 440 is the cups are not deep enough that they press against the ears and hurt them after long use ( couple hours) if price not issue M50... M50 has more thump in bass to lol

I can't say I know! I see people with both types and have never asked which they prefer. I purchased Sennheiser because of familiarity with the brand. Felt like for the price these are a great value (for my taste!). Good luck!

Have not tried the other 2, but I will say Shure makes really quality stuff. I used to think Sennheiser was on top of everything but they moved so much of there production outside of Europe, it has not been as good. Wish I could help you out further.

From my singular experience, yes you are purchasing a VidPro XM-55. It's a solid mic for the price but if you can spend up do so, the Sennheiser ME-67 is a far superior mic.

The Sony MDR-XB600s are not nearly as good as the MDR-XB500s. But if you don't have enough money for the MDR-XB500s the MDR-XB600s are not a bad alternative.

If you don't mind regular headphones then I recommend the Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS Port.Here's a link: Panasonic RP-HT21 Lightweight Headphones with XBS PortNot only do they last much much longer but they're also cheaper and they have good bass. My first pair lasted about 8 months. I got my second pair in July last year and they're still working. These are the best headphones I ever had.

Wish I could help but I don't own the sennheiser 598's. I considered buying them but settled on the beyer 990's instead. When I have the $ I was thinking of getting either the 598's or the audio technica ath-m50x's. I love my beyer 990's but wanted to get another pair a quality headphones to mess with. Hope u find the pair that fits your needs.

Hi Dave. The exxtra headset no. is MDR-RF7500. I bought them from "Japan Quality 886". Good service, quick delivery (3-4 days) and best of all they put a very low price on the shipping note which minimizes import taxes. If you enter MDR-RF7500 in the search box at Amazon.com you will see them with ordering details. This system is easily the best I have ever heard, especially with the high definition formats, Dolby HD Master etc. The sound is crystal clear for dialogue and the surround effects are subtle but real. They sound quieter than other devices, but this is because they have very low distortion and excellent D/A converters. Hope this helps you and good luck. Hi Dave.

I have 2 Sennheiser products, HD439 (2 month) CX275 (1 year), In general, German projects are more reliable. Shure (USA) is pretty reliable, too.

I agree. I found the G4ME One to be uncomfortable and therefore returned them. I am using a pair of Beyerdynamic DT 990 Pro's and find them to be extremely comfortable and superior sound quality. They are also open as that is what you really need for an expansive sound stage. I would try the HD 598 and see how they fit and perform. Other than the mic, looking for a quality headset is imperative, not only for gaming, but especially for music, movies, etc. Good Luck

Subtle differences. The M50xbl has 3 detachable cables and of course has a different color scheme. Personally, I'd go with the M50xBL if the detachable cables are worth it to you. Otherwise, I'd save some money and go for the ATHM50RD because they both sound exactly the same.

Hello Rachel, although I cannot make a comparison to another model, I can tell you that I would never consider buying anything but the Shure SR440 headphones. I have been using them since I purchased a digital piano and it takes me to another world. The Shure SR440 headphones block out all other sounds and the quality is off the chart. Don't look any further.
