How do these compare with the Monster Turbine PRO? Which has better sound quality (bass, particularly)?

hands down i would recommend the monster turbine pro gold for you. I personally own the coppers and i like them better. not to assume you are Indian, but if you are: indian music will def sound better on the pro coppers. The coppers have a wide sound stage (they still have plenty of bass that you can feel) vs. the golds. I personally don't like all my music blocked out by to much bass. I love the coppers and i would highly recommend them for overall music. But all you want is just bass then go gold. Also remember before you return either of them, i recommend a 50 hour burn in period (that really helps to bring out the music).

As an audio engineer, I can personally tell the difference between the two models. However, to the untrained ear of a casual listener it will be very difficult to notice any difference. This will also differ from person to person as every set of ears and every human brain are just a little bit different. Therefore not every human being is capable of hearing all of the frequencies being omitted from the speakers. That being said, the difference between models is their frequency range. Ask yourself these questions before making a decision : 1) Do you commonly notice a difference in the overall sound quality when listening to music on different speakers? 2) Does your listening pleasure diminish when you notice these differences? 3) Are you the kind of person that doesn't mind spending a little more money if you know that you will be getting a better quality product? If you answered yes to these questions, then I would recommend doing as I did and purchasing the 800 model. BTW, if you're "all about that bass" the 800 will also be more appealing as the main difference is the low end frequencies as they always improve with size. I hope this was helpful! Matt. W.

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.

The 250 ohm pros have a little more bass and clamp a little tighter around your head. The difference doesn't amount to much, and it certainly doesn't amount to paying $200 extra. Just go with the pros and you'll be good. You also shouldn't have a problem with your Sound Blaster Z and these.

For me the bass is fine but I am not a big bass head. I can only compare them to the other headphones I own the Bose QC 15 wired noise cancellation headphones and to me they had better bass than those. However I did have an opportunity to listen to the Bludio's before I returned them for the Sony MK2's and they had more bass than the MK2's but I didn't think they sounded as good and they were a bit bulky and didn't fit on my head as well. The Bluedio's are substantially less expensive though and they did sound pretty good. Probably the best bang for the buck.

They are both great. The pro caster is a little better sounding but it does not have headphone monitoring or usb. If you have a mixer and phantom power and xlr cables and need a mix for more than I one person for an interview, the pro is better

They have incredible bass! You can feel the deep pounding of the bass drums and it sounds excellent. I use an Android phone with DSP Manager and turn the bass boost to extreme to get the effect maximized and these headphones don't distort at all even at higher volumes.

depends on what you mean by "deep" but as others said, as long as they are in your ears right with the right amount of seal and volume, you will get the right amount of bass that is neither ear drum popping nor mosquito. I am by no means expert on sound whatsoever but if it means anything...i've compared with Soul SL99 as well as Skull Candy and IMHO the differences were very subtle to non-existent. I am sure others would have various things to say about this comment but it is simply my personal opinion for what it's worth.

I looked this up for you and couldn't find many comparisons. I just found this guy's youtube video on headfi. http://www.head-fi.org/t/629433/new-sony-extra-bass-mdr-xb600-mdr-xb800-unboxing-videosEven so, you should try seeing if you can find more comparisons or wait until more come out to have more opinions as the guy in the video may not be 100% reliable (also, they guy said that he didn't burn them in yet). Unfortunately that my take some time.

I wouldn't be able to give you a comparison because I haven't had the opportunity to hear these new towers. They are beautiful and seem to be well received from people who own them. I can say that the DV84 towers are outstanding with excellent mid range. The Bass is shockingly full for a tower speaker. I think either speaker would serve you well. The PL-89 is newer,and appears to have a nicer finish. The BIC company has been making solid speakers for many years so it's your choice.

I'm not too sure how they compare to the Polk audio but I do know how they compare to the Energy Take Classic, and these out performe the Energies by leaps and bounds!!! The sound that come out of these are AMAZING!!! The only issue I could see having with these would be the size but with big speakers come BIG clean sound!!! I do not think you will be upset with these.

BOSE has better bass. I would like more bass to my DNA headphones... But def good for its price, really clear sound

These are all-rounded headphones with a good balance in everything. I don't think Audio Technica can be compared to Monster since the latter focuses on only the poundy bass and aesthetics while the former pursues better sound quality and ergonomics. ATH m50x in my opinion, would be better than the Monster.

I've tried both. A sign of warning it is a weird style of ear bud, well both are. These feel more comfortable and for the price they can't be beat. There bass is better but the highs may be a little undefined but nothing to noticeable. Hope I helped.

Theses headphones are very good but now i have found that the monster n-tune and N-pulses are THE best headphones i own.The n-tunes maybe the best because of sound and size.my advice is if you have the money buy one of the monsters,if the akg's are cheaper then the akg 67's are really nice.but my advice would be to buy one of the monsters because they sound great with ALL kinds of music. Theyy should not be that much more than the akg's,let me know how everything turns out please, I'm very interested to hear from you and your opinion on your pick.

Yes.....the overall sound quality is better. Good bass, excellent mids and highs. Love this thing and would recommend it to everyone.

The pros are noticeably tighter and have better bass and some argue the mids aren't as good as the M50s. M50s are better for long periods such as studio time but pros are better for shorter, due to the rather tight headband on the pros. I'd recommend the pros
