I have an MX500i, is the MX505 an improvement in clarity and noise reduction?

It's been years since I wrote the review and no longer own the mx505. I now own the Blue Parrot bluetooth series which is cordless and is a far superior unit, in my opinion.

Anyone know of a more quiet mouse they can recommend? My Logitech Anywhere Mouse MX is a little too loud too....

I have both and Audio technica ATH m50 wins sound quality wise. V-Moda wins looks wise.

These reduce the noise that the Cherry MX switches create in the mechanical keyboards.

As far as I can tell, the MX680 has that volume control thing on the cord. The other big one I think is that the 685's have a "slide to lock" system to hold 'em in, and the 680 appears to just have fixed 'fins'

It doesn't necessarily silence the noise, but it does reduce the sound. I have a Rosewill MX Blue and I definitely noticed a noise reduction. Once you install the O-ring, you will notice that the keys become a little stiff when you try to bottom out the key. It doesn't make it quiet overall like the MX Browns in terms of tactile keyboards, but I guess you can say it's in between the MX Browns and MX Blues in terms of noise. I hope this makes sense for you.

Indeed I did not see any MX500 on Crucial's website. There is the M500, the M550, and the latest MX100. The are subtle differences between them, and even in the same model, for example, writing speeds vary according to capacity... With so many subtle "differences", it's hard to say which is best. There is also the matter of the price to take into account. I suggest you read this review by TechReport, which also has reviews for the other two SSDs. Loads of tech info to weave through. http://techreport.com/review/26532/crucial-mx100-solid-state-drive-reviewed

I don't know. I bought this along with the Logitech S715i and the Logitech was so much clearer, with better base and no distortion that it was a no brainer to return the Yamaha.

oh yes most def first of all the drivers are 10mm bigger and very noticeable when hearing it's a no brainer, i tried the xb400's when i sampled the 500's as well and the 500's were much more comfy as well... it is well worth the extra few $'s for sure i would not hesitate... the 400's are on ear, i hated em they squish your ear after a few minutes wearing them , the 500's are over the ear, much much better for longer durations of using them... if you can get a pair get em now because they may become obsolete and you will be disappointed...

Suggest you get the blue ones from Amazon as they will dampen the sound more:Cherry MX Rubber O-Ring Switch Dampeners Blue 40A-R - 0.4mm Reduction (125pcs)

Check flowmaster web page please, you can listen all product sounds. I think 50 series is more aggresive

The sound is slightly different. The M5 is more balanced and clear but less bassy. You should read some Product-Tests and make a Decision based on the music you hear....

CX 685 has adapters that fit in the opening to your ear canal which creates kind of a seal. The MX is more of a ear bud that fits outside your ear canal. The CX has better noise isolation and the sound quality is better but if you run then the bounce in the cord can transmit back to earphones and can become annoying. The sound quality of the MX is very good. I run and use these because I do not like the bouncing noise of the cord. It does take a little getting use to the finger that fits in the nook of your ear fold and it holds much better compared to an ear bud. After sampling several different brands, these are my favorite for running. If I didn't run or bounce around while exercising I'd use the CX.

Yes but not good quality. Noise reduction is not good. People said I had feedback or echo.

It reduces the ambient noise, the Sony pair I had it increased the volume and it was evident. There is no volume difference with these when I switch back and forth.

Great question and one that I would also like to know. If not, then what about the MX850, if you can still find one?

In my opinion, yes, it would be better---probably brighter, with better treble and more detail---if that's what you're looking for. Audio Technica cartridges are an excellent value---even the inexpensive models sound great. You might also want to check out reviews of the Audio Technica AT-3482 p-mount cartridge, which features a rare carbon fiber cantilever (said to dampen lingering resonance from pits & scratches.) A lot of people, including me, like that one, too. It's slightly cheaper and might be perfect for your purposes. Actually, I don't think you could go wrong with any of the Audio Technica models. Good Luck---I hope that helps! In my opinion, yes, it would be better---probably brighter, with better treble and more detail---if that's what you're looking for.
