What's the difference between this verison and the HD version other than the price and battery life? Is the sound better on the HD?

The HD version is made of aluminum while this one is plastic. This one is also slightly larger. The sound quality on the HD is better also. It can go louder, has more bass, and is also more clear. They are both excellent products for their prices though.

I have no experience with the HD 203. I have also only used the HD 202 with an I pod that has downloaded music from multiple sources. The drums and bass sounds good but not all encompassing. These were the best headphones I could find at this price point. I play bass and I am not unhappy with the sound.

This one is featured with 40 Watts RMS ... New model says 20 Watts RMS.They really both sound absolutely great. The ONLY meaningful difference to me is that, the newer model has integrated Bluetooth, the older model does not.You have to decide how badly you want that Bluetooth function and ask yourself if it's worth the $150 extra (give and take) you're going to spend. I've got the old model in July of this year and it really achieve what I need. I listen to music from my tablet, my Ipod and connect it to my laptop to watch movie. I simply connect my audio cable every time. Long story short, they both sound formidable. One has Bluetooth. One doesn't. This one is featured with 40 Watts RMS ...

I can't confirm it from personal use, but one of the reviews states that it will in fact work with the HD... something I too was looking for. It's going to be an Xmas gift. (Or not... sounds like it breaks often.)

I cannot tell you the difference between the various models, but I will tell you my s3's are very comfortable, noise blocking, but not to the point that someone cannot get your attention (ie stewardesses, etc.) and the sound quality is very good to excellent. I only use them for books, so I am not sure about music. But I would not hesitate to recommend them to anyone.

Ok I can only speak to my personal use. I only listen to HD with my Bose OE. I enjoy the sound quality of the over ear headphones. Hope it helps

I can speak directly to a Soundlink 3 comparison. In my opinion, the TDK sounds comparable. Like you, I hate tinny sound, and can attest to the fact that the TDK is not tinny at all. It is rich and full at all volumes. Actually, it is shockingly rich and full given the size and the price. If you're torn beween the Bose and the TDK, I say buy the TDK with confidence.

In my opinion, it's GOOD, but the HD quality cannot compare to noise cancelling headphones which would be in the Excellent or Superb categories. Huge improvement to the $20 or less headphones though.

HD Radio is a separate input so only works if you specifically choose HD. the radio default to what ever you were listening to last

I am not really sure, I got mine for $49.99 on a lightening deal so I wasn't too worried about features of a new version. The box came with headphones, the audio cable, storage bag, and a microfiber cleaning cloth. If I had to pay full price for these, I would probably opt for a blue tooth capable version.

Jim,Thank you & I agree. Lets all just please try and keep the information here as unbiased and honest as possible. While I seem to make a lot of posts against the Mino HD in favor of the Vado HD, its only because I honestly believe the Vado HD is a better deal. Oscar V.

Hi Aimee - I bought this a little over a year ago and the sound quality and the picture quality is pretty good. I want to listen to some of my Cloud music a little louder :) but maybe I need a better speaker system than I have now. Other than that - I have no complaints.

I would save the $100 and buy the 30GB model. Spend the saved $$ on some decent headphones! I have about 2300 songs on my 30GB and have only used about 10GB so far. I also have several hundred photos loaded on it. The camera connector is awesome for traveling.

The component HD is better, however, you can use them.. they just won't be heard only by you. those around you will hear it too.

i think akg is better. but if you usually listening music is bass. i recommend you usimg hd598. akg's feature is clear sound not bass sound. it is good at classic, pop song. if you like a movie you should choice the hd598.

hi, in case your answer was not clear enough for you, i got those 2 headphones and compared them toe to toe, i have a very good ear, and what i see is that s700 sound louder and more bass, i did plug both to the same devise, same song using a 3.5 splitter, so that was the main 2 differences,, also, s700 is much heavier than s400 and tend to fall if you bend over a little, people complaint about this issue too, I was unhappy with bluethoot range, even in with my cell in my pocket music was terrible, braking too much so i thought they suck, but, i found than the problem was the battery of my phone was too low and the bluethoot range is automatically affected, so you devise has to have good charge in order to get good signal, lets say, you can walk around your room with no problems and perhaps a little more, i hope it helps. thanks

This thing is pretty awesome! The battery lasts for a while and it bumps pretty loud. The blue tooth is pretty sweet as well. I would recommend it. I don't really know how it compares to the other speakers you said because I have not listen to them. Good luck!
