I haven't used either of those sennheiser models, but these headphones are pretty light! I'm always surprised of how light they are every time I pick them up. They kind of feel like they're hollow, if that makes sense. Hope that helps.

These are an updated model. The outside material has been changed but the hardware remains the same. It still uses the same earphone driver but it is now angled. The angle produces more of a treble heavy experience. The fit is different. The 700 is a bit heavier and fits more comfortably whereas thr 700x slips and digs into your head constantly. You have to mod them to be comfortable. The old ones sound richer due to the different front facing material but the newer ones produce higher range (artificially). Either way, these are great positional audio cans with a decent amp. I use Sound Blaster Z (has a standalone amp). Personally I use mdr-v6 cans with custom fittings. These are an updated model.

Yes. The 380s sound somewhat better in the midrange, which is Sennheiser's strength. The major difference is in fit. I own both and the 380s are far more comfortable, particularly when worn with glasses. I bought the 280s used and even with broken-in ear pads, they were too tight. A year later, I'd saved enough to buy the 380s and the difference was significant enough to make me regret buying the 280s. My son now happily uses the older 280s. Hope this helps.

There's actually a difference. The treble around 10k Hz was reworked to not be so piercing, and the low bass got some work as well. Nothing major, but as far as sound goes, there are tiny changes based on previous feedback by customers.

I never had that problem with the sl99 set. And I'd always have my music louder than I should. Personally I like the minis better. They fit better in the ear and use the same drivers as the sl99s. And they're still going strong after 8 months or so.

Beyerdynamic headphones are great I upgrade from the DT880 that have been useful. The open versions enhance the high end of the mix giving a nice contrast on the percussion or bass.

BETTER what?? better (quality) sound, better pounding base, better quality materials, better warranty, ????? The 13.5 is larger and pushes more air. The other thing you will want to find out is, what is the RMS rating difference between te two. I never look at the "peak "watts. Means nothing to me. The RMS is the thing to look at. I only buy the best, JL AUDIO. I have NEVER had any problems! Some body may have a louder sounding system, BUT its the quality of sound that counts. I have never had American Base before. Never had any reason to try them. I ALWAYS tell everybody "you can't go wrong with JL AUDIO.

Not as bass heavy as some of the other headphones in the market, but pretty reasonable. If you prefer really heavy bass, you should look elsewhere. The Sol republics shine when listening to classical music or spoken word.

Beyerdynamic has raised their prices across the board on all their products earlier this year. So I would not bet on it since that is way below dealer cost. Your best bet is something used. Even refurbished/used is more then that a lot of times, but would get you closer on budget.

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

More same than different. The new UE model (this one) is 1.5 inches taller and half an inch deeper. The handle makes up the bulk of the extra height which the old one didn't have. The driver configuration is almost identical, 2 tweeters, 2 3inch woofers, and slightly bigger 2.5" passive radiators (old one had 2" radiators). The sound is near identical except the new one has more bass because of the larger radiators. The price went up quite a bit from $150 to $250 MSRP. I own the old one and still very satisfied with its low/mid/high balance. If you don't mind the lack of a handle and buying used, the old fine is a great deal. More same than different.

The actual headphones are light in my opinion although I use them mostly for traveling. My hobby scale (measures in grams/ounces) is not functional at this time so I can't give you their weight.

Have not tried the other 2, but I will say Shure makes really quality stuff. I used to think Sennheiser was on top of everything but they moved so much of there production outside of Europe, it has not been as good. Wish I could help you out further.

Kae, I haven't heard the DT-770, but what I can tell you is the Beoplay H6 is a polar opposite of all consumer headphones on the market (beats and bose etc) they are VERY bass lite and are amazingly well balanced. They are not "clinical" or overly bright, they just sound right. It is the recordings pureness that defines the sound with these. There is no coloring or tilt to the sound. I can compare them to my custom UE-4pros and they share a very close sound signature!! I would suggest that you try them out and return them to amazon if you don't like the sound. I give these a 5/5 for sound!!!

I have a Amperior but I don't have a Momentum&#65292;but a lot of headphones lovers say that the Amperior has a better quality than the other one&#65292;some say the Momentum has little bass and by the way actually the Amperior is a new vision of the very classic HD25&#65292;it has been producing for more than 20years already&#12290;I think you should go for Amperior though...if you wanna know more you can Email me at~58238323@QQ.com

Try to keep the master volume up and your mic gain as low as you can. Also start off with the EQ Flat and work Down from there. Place Mic as close to mouth as possible. Sennheiser is a great brand, just try to stick with their European line and not the stuff from China.

I personally don't think burn in time is a huge factor, but the source will be. If you can try them in a store, then I suppose you can try various models back to back using same source. I did not have that option. For me, this was a huge step up from a pair of Sennheiser HD280 pros. I also like that they are different design than most out there. Had them on a couple long airplane rides now and am happy. Good luck.
