Should I consider these over the Combat+ with price vs quality? I find it hard to believe the Combat+ are twice as "good."

These are lighter than the combats. Sound quality is about the same I bought these over the combat and have been very happy

If I had money, I would get the Combat+ for looks. I haven't tried the Combat+ But I do not believe they are twice as good. I would get the Transform. These are great!!!

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both. Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

I did a lot of research and this is the one I decided to get. Try checking it out at www.dpreview.com. They have excellent reviews and you can do side-by-side comparisons.

If all you want is the highest quality regardless of price, Bose is usually the way to go. That said, these are very good in their own right and when you factor in the price difference you'll probably soon not really notice the difference unless you are constantly switching between the two. I bought these as a gift for my father who had these second to the Bose on his wish list due to the spec sheet (better high freq. suppression in Bose) - until I pointed out to him that according to his doctor's hearing tests for the past decade neither he nor his hearing aid are able to hear/replicate those frequencies - so the quality difference for him really is NOT noticeable. I have never used Beats nor know any who has, but reviews still rate the Bose higher - and for the money that the Beats cost - I'd probably stick with the Bose.

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.

The question above is the critical one - you can alwys spend more and get better. BUT let me add this: for an immediate, and mind-blowing upgrade at less than 15 bucks, go out and get yourself a pair of Koss KSC75s. They are light on the ears, small, and easy to transport. However, they sound incredible not only "at this price range" but in their own right. Get that purchase over with and then you can think about whether you want to spend more or not. But trust me on this, for most folks the Koss's are fantastic. You won't be disappointed.

I have 23 pair of headphones and these are made better than 20 of my others. While I can't guarantee anything, I think when you order them and get them home, you will see they are built like a tank. I don't know what your budget is, but I got a pair of Velodyne vTrue headphones that have superior build quality, much better sound signature and were only $135 new online. You have to search hard to find that price, but it is out there. Also, to tell you how good California Headphone customer service is, they sent me a free leather carrying case right after I got these because my dog ate the first one.

Razer doesn't compare to this as for product quality. Sound is most likely the same as there is no better noticeable differences. I'd say just pick what you can afford as well as what you want to go with. Buying Sennheiser will mean that you know you are getting a quality product that will last you years on end as well with support.

I recommend that you scan some of the user reviews for both headphone sets on Amazon.com. That way you can get many versions of people's thinking on the pros and cons of each headphone. You may even find some reviews that compare the 990's to the 598's. For me, I love both of these headphones. They are as good as one can find especially considering their reasonable price. I bought the Beyerdynamic 990-Pro-250 in December 2013, and paid about $70 less than what I paid for the Sennheiser 598s which I purchased one year earlier. Since both sets of headphones are very comparable in quality and sound, I consider the Beyerdynamics the better buy. Also, the Beyerdynamics is a little more comfortable if you plan to use them for prolonged periods of time. On the other hand, the Sennheisers are one good looking headphones and sound great, just like the Beyerdynamics. If you can get the Beyerdynamics for $50-$70 less than the Sennheisers, I would recommend you go with them instead of the Sennheisers. However, I consider both sets of headphones a real bargain. I might also mention that the Sennheisers have a very long cord (about 10ft or so), while the Beyerdynamics has a much shorter coiled cord).

The extra 2 pres give you flexibility. They are just about as clean as you could ever expect. The question for you is whether that extra flexibility will ever be needed, and whether the slightly higher price is worth it to you? I rarely use the extra, and don't anticipate much use for them. But having the additional capability was easily worth it for my purposes.

There are enough differences between the two monitors that it would be difficult to say which is "better". When it comes to features, personal preference is a big factor. Each of these monitors has strong points when compared to the other.Jim

I found the review comparing the two at FiringSquad's site quite helpful. http://www.firingsquad.com/hardware/ch_products_saitek_x52_review In the end the reviewer discovered that it largely depends on the games you play and your personal style.

These are a pretty good choice for an intro into budget fidelity. Try checking out the Koss SportaPro. Exact same headphone with behind the head design.

I have the Dragonfly, and also better DAC/amps. I recommend something better than the Dragonfly with these headphones. They are good enough that you will be able to appreciate the difference a better dac/amp can make. I have the Resonessence Concero HP. It's quite awesome, and starkly better than my Dragonfly, but a lot more expensive. For a bit more than the price of the DF, you'd probably get a lot more quality if you get the Meridian Explorer, or the Audioengine D3, or the iFi. I haven't tried these three, but based on my Resonessence vs DF experience, I do know the HP50s are good enough to reveal the difference, so don't miss out by getting a low-tier DAC.

Tim,I will grant you,headphones are a personal thing.I will say these P7s are some of the best headphones Ive ever had for under $500.Being a guitarist,and I tend to listen to midrange and highs.I will say these can be cranked up very,very loud and no distortion.Do you want a lot of bass? These are very good for bass,but I have not had a chance to hear beats pro,so I really can't compare the two,I have had a lot of different phones over the yearsBose,sony,etc. Are you a drummer or a bass player?I say,if you can, try out both phones before buying.For my ears,I think these P7s are 5 stars.

No they aren't for MMORPGs but if you appreciate music (presumably not) they're the best $80 you could ever spend. Had mine for 3+ years now & they just keep getting better & better.

Well if you aren't a big audiophile and don't now much the brand v-moda, the LP are a great place to start. You wont be disappointed even though you chose not to invest 150 more dollars on the m100. Believe me when i say that the LP produce better sound then most of Dr. dre beats headphones and for a fraction of the price. I broken many headphones in three months or less and these headphones are durable and dont feel flimsy and cheap like the beats. :D You wont regret the price you paid for LP which give you fantastic sound and durability. Best part, you get to sound out from the crowd (v^-^)/ Hope this helps Well if you aren't a big audiophile and don't now much the brand v-moda, the LP are a great place to start.
