How is the sound quality with the CX685s? I'm deciding bt these &amp; Yurbuds Ironman Inspire. If these have better sound then they're worth the extra $.

I've found that the sound quality is superior to any other earbuds I've ever used. While the bass is obviously not as great as you would get from over-the-ear headphones, there is still a good "heaviness" to the sound. They're not tinny, like some other buds can be. And because the shape of the earpiece is designed for sound isolation, the CXs can get quite loud.

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

I, too, purchased the 93 and thought about upgrading to the 95. I liked the 93 but was intrigued by the 95's audio. So I ordered a 95 and was blown away by the improved sound. The 93 is on its way back to Amazon.

They sound great. Think the manufacturer recommends setting to 100hz, I run mine at 80hz crossover and they sound perfect. Guess if you set to 50hz to find out, but would not recommend it, 80hz is the thx setting anyway. It would probably do 50-60hz no problem, but draw extra power from the receiver, when it should be for your mains.

I had the Monster Turbine Coppers a long time ago. Probably, they will give you more bass. But the mids and highs won't be quite as clear. For a lot of bass with highs that are also clear you could consider the Xiaomi Piston 2.

For "middle of the road" units (very subjective anyway), these are generally considered to sound better than the Sonys. But really, everyone's ears are different - try to listen to both if you can arrange it. Also, don't expect amazing bass out of either, but that can be overrated depending on what you're listening to. I'd much rather have the Pioneers than a system w/subwoofer that was not natural sounding, had unrealistically boosted bass, etc...

Hi Raymond, I wish I could help you but I haven't used mine yet. I intend to get back to bass fishing sometime, but I'm basically a fly fishermen and I'm having a hard time putting my mind back into spinning gear mode. Yes, they sound good, and I hope someone can offer you a definitive answer soon. Tight lines! Regards, Ron

Disclaimer: I've spent quite a bit of time forcing these puppies into various depths and angles to try to find ANY angle where they produce any sort of bass, and I've failed miserably. I'm sure it's too late for these folks, but for anyone else in the same boat... To answer your questions directly, no - the design is COMPLETELY different from the Sonys, and I can't imagine anything like that problem would happen to these (it's pretty much all hard plastic (except for the interchangeable plugs.) However... as I'm also moving on from my previous two sets of the Sony headphones you guys are talking about, I should warn you that I'm thoroughly disappointed with the Etymotics. You should be forewarned that the Sonys you've been listening to, though not nearly as high quality a can as the 6i's, are rather bass-heavy. You probably already knew that, but as almost every review will echo, the 6i's are VERY light on bass. This equation will probably have you in the same boat as me, ready to return them because they HAVE TO BE BROKEN to sound that 'top-heavy'! I know, I know, bass isn't everything - but when you're going from a Sony to one of these it's just too big of a loss, no matter how much more 'accurate' they might be. And I'm sorry, but 20Hz? No way. Using test sources I dont' notice anything until 64Hz, and for an in-ear phone that's simply unacceptable. Only when I set my EQ to +12dB on 64Hz, with an even slope such that it's flat at 250Hz, do things ALMOST sound natural. Final recommendation: Don't buy them unless you've had a chance to listen to them, or know you can return them. And go ahead and SCHEDULE the return trip in your planner.

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.

One of the major differences is the ear piece. the MX685 stays outside of the ear canal while the CX685 goes into the ear canal. If you check out Sennheiser's web page they have a pdf spec sheets that shows the differences and the only slight difference other than how it sits in the ear is the "sound pressure" being a bit better on the CX685.

They're pretty good! I bought mine a couple of months ago and they sound great. the 7.1 surround sound is a little overkill but they make for a fantastic 5.1 surround sound headset, just make sure your computer has enough audio jacks at the back for all the wires!

yeah but that's not all the 265WT lacks - i am concerned about the built in speaker audio quality for blue tooth when i use my phone - with the 765T, because it has a headphone out, i can route the audio to the car stereo or add better external speakers if the built in sucks..,.265WT doesn't have a headphone jack, so you';re stuck with built in audio... (the mp3 thing on 765T i may or may not use...but I probably will...)... and I also read somewhere that the 765 has better TTS quality... idk - i am gonna wait and see when amazon updates... but i hear ya 265WT is a great deal right now..

I do not think the CX90BLK is a very good receiver, and it does not have a internal speaker. The C. Crane, CC pocket radio is much better, but it cost quite a bit more, but I think it is worth it.

Quite well, they have excellent soundstage that opens up even more if you do the foam mod. Makes for a nicely immersive experience with voices and most sound effects. If you watch more action-y movies with lots of explosions and whatnot, you might find the bass somewhat light, but it's not that huge of a deal.

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.

From what I've read the 700x is more comfortable and for me they are, but as many people have said they fit a large head. Also 700x are a updated version, with a slightly adjusted bass response. Complaints of the original 700s was that they were lacking bass. I power them with asus essence stx sound card and would rate them very highly for their price, comfort, sound quality. Maybe like a 9/10

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.
