How does the sound quality compare to the UE 6000's?

Sorry I have not had the chance to listen to the ue 6000s, so I can not offer a comparison. What I can say is they are built like a tank and the quality and durability is exceptional. They are not the best sounding headphones I have but that is all subjective. They are natural sounding with a little added bass and I highly recommend for djing. If your looking for listening headphones I would look elsewhere and you will save some $.

I've never owned the UE 6000s, however, the HDJ 2000s are one of the best investments I have made as a DJ. I'm able to hear all the instruments in a song clearly. This makes my beat matching and mixing a easier. Check out a few of the mixes I have done using the HDJ 2000s on www.mixcrate.com/djosi

Sound quality is superior to the UE 6000's but both serve different functions. This is a dj headphone meant for djing and beat matching. The UE 6000's is built for comfort and does not swivel. If you are looking for something on a budget and do not need swivel. I'd go for the 6000's. If you're looking for a dj headphone with superior sound and build construction, I would go with the HDJ 2000.

Mine have had hundreds of hours of wear and I'm pleased with the bass. Better than the AD700 + 900, although the latter hasn't gone through burn-in.

That significantly had an effect on the sound quality. The X-230 sounds a lot better in comparison. I get a more surround sound feel with the X-230, but I can't say the same about the X-240's. Easily X-230 > X-240.

The 8060 has a powered sub and can produce better bass than the 8040. I would stick with the 8060s.

I have a UE Boom, and love it. But the UE is really big compared to the TDK. For travel, the TDK is the absolute winner. It's the best speaker at its size I've ever heard. I haven't really listened to both the TDK and UE against each other. But I've been listening to the TDK at about 80 dB for the last couple of hours now in an 800 sq foot area and I feel no fatigue. It's very pleasant. I know that's not an audiophile term. It should be. Just transitioned from "All the Young Girls Love Alice" to "All You Need Is Love" and I really like how these speakers present the detail though they can't vibrate the floor. Now we're on to "Alone Again, Naturally" and the tambourine is perfect. Anyhow, buy these speakers. I have a UE Boom, and love it. But the UE is really big compared to the TDK.

I haven't personally listened to the M100's, but I do own the Crossfade LPs, and for what I paid for them, I'm very satisfied. The build quality is exceptional, and the sound is pretty good. If you're not a discerning audiophile, then get the LPs; they should do you just fine.

I disagree with Gabriel. I have these and use them primarily for video games and movies. They sound amazing. The extra bass makes a huge difference.

I have HE-400s driven by a Shiit Lyr Amp. The 400s as well as the 500s are not bass heavy headphones. This is one of many reasons I got the 400s. I don't like heavy bass. I did find that after a break-in period, the bass was very nature and sounded close to live music. What I really like is that the bass is clear and not muddy which nearly all bass heavy headphones sound like. The Lyr is designed to drive orthos such as the 400s and 500s. I had looked at the EF-5 but I didn't think it drove the headphones enough. They do need a bit of power. If you like heavier bass, I'm afraid you may have gotten yourself the wrong headphones. The beauty of these is that they are nearly flat responding which make them sounds closer to live music which is what I am looking for. I will tell you that with the 500s and the Lyr combo, you will hear stuff in your music you haven't heard before but you will also hear mistakes made by the recording engineer as well as the limitations on MP3 files if you play those. These headphones don't like to be forced too hard on the bass end. Their design doesn't do well with that. Be careful if you do try to send more bass through them.

Much better. You won't be disappointed. There are tons of sound presets to suit your tastes, plus 4 presets that you can fully customize. Even without any enabled the sound quality is still better thanks to the Wolfson DAC in the device.

These are one of the best, but not the ultimate best. The problem is "best" is partially subjective. As for the other part, Custom IEMs take the spot for the best you can purchase. As for universals, like these SE846s, they are quite highly regarded in the community.Personally, I like my Westone UM Pro 50s better but at this price point they are extremely at what they do.

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.

The volume isn't as loud overall as they UE Boom but there is a trade off. The Fugoo has superior sound quality and ample volume once you download the software upgrade. As to the 360 sound radius, both do very well.

The GR07s are far superior in every regard. The sound signature is more U-shaped, with more bass and treble. Mids are about the same, treble is more sparkly. Sound stage is larger. Clarity is much better all across the board.

I have both. If you want the best sound then go with the Grado's. If you're concerned about looks and comfort, then go with the Sennheisers. Grado SR 60's definitely sound better and are much louder, but this comes at the expense of looks and comfort. I'd take the Grado's if I were you...

I have the 6000's and have had them for 4-5 years (can't remember exactly which Christmas I got them), and the band just broke. Can't complain since I use them EVERY day for at least 6 hours to listen to podcasts, music and make calls. So assuming the 9000s have a similar construction, pretty decent quality.

The track ultras focus on the overall sound quality, where the original tracks headphones focus on heavy bass. The tracks ultra also look amazing.

I use the AKG's to monitor my music when recording virtual pipe organs. ("leo037chris" on YouTube) The sound is clear and the really low bass is there (even pretty impressive below 32 KHz). The lows are not muddy or boomy at all. I can boost the low end without distortion. The sound is very accurate. The HD600's also have plenty of low response. I think they are not quite as good to monitor my recordings since there is a more distant feel to the music, I think due to the somewhat less mid-range volume(?) and a sort of fuller mid-bass feeling. Really, both phones sound excellent, but I prefer the AKG's for recording, and the HD600's for just general listening to music. I use the AKG's to monitor my music when recording virtual pipe organs.
