The difference is considerable. For one the Canon WM-V1 is designed for use with Vixia cameras specifically. It also transmits via Bluetooth. I couldn't find any specs about the microphone either. So without seeing the product first hand I would question if it even comes with one much less what the quality is like. It's obviously plastic and has a much smaller range.Sennheiser G3 lav microphones are ubiquitous in the audio/video industry, known for good quality and robust features. For alternatives try wireless microphon systems from Shure, Sony, Rode, Audio-Technica, Polsen, or Azden. The difference is considerable.

I would go with whichever one looks the best to you. They are both great headphones. The sennheiser are more portable, and weigh alot less. I have both and use them in different situations. I like the sound of either one.

you can go to sennheiser website to see which one is the authorize third party seller. I bought mine fro J&R in New York. It was cheaper and more trusted.

Since I have both and tried them out, they are the same thing (regarding the sound quality). the only difference as you said is the mic.

I just got a pair from seller "clearav" for $39. The sound is tinny and completely bass-free, so I think I got ripped-off as well. I see they charge a 30% restocking fee, which also leads me to believe these aren't the best folks to be dealing with. I'm going to return them, take my medicine, and chalk it up as another lesson learned.

I think that you will find that this is a discontinued model. If I correctly recall, I paid $79. I also have a late model Bose, and I can't hear the difference.

I'm not too sure what point cybertext is making but I'll reply anyway.... I have purchased the "Plantronics MX150 Flexible Boom Headset with 2.5 mm Plug" from the seller "NEWandOEM" before. And I placed another order for the same item from the same seller just now. True, cybertext, the item is NEW. Also true is that this item is not OEM -- or at least I think it's not. The item(s) I previously ordered from this seller are marked "MX150BCAE. I just got off the phone with Plantronic -- and they have no such model number. Nevertheless, these possible knock-off and/or non-OEM versions DO work. And, unlike the other OEM versions which cost $30, these are less than $5 each. If anyone can show me where to find this model in a fancy-packaged OEM model for that price let me know!

David, I posted this question on another site and a person said the only reason they would lean towards the Canon because it has headphone/mic jacks. I, personally, have found that the Canon seems to get better video quality reviews but the downside is that isn't using the default settings. Almost all the reviews says the settings need to tweaked in some fashion. So I am starting to lean towards the Canon.

My understanding is that this microphone is not brand specific. So if your Canon has an outlet, then the ME-1 will work. I own this piece and it's very good. The person who commented before me thinks it's not so good. Well, you have to know what you want. For the price it's pretty good. Yes, there are better mics out there, but if you don't want to spend a fortune and depending how and where you use it, this will do the job. People will always tell you this or that is no good, but everybody has different needs.

Just place the order with Panasonic. Though the status says backorderd, you will get them in two weeks. I placed my order for two SH-FX70s on the 20th of Dec and got them delivered on the 5th of Jan. Audio quality is not that great. HTB cost - 376.94 + free shipping (thanks to Amazon for this price). Spent 272.90 just for the two rear units. Still not sure if I made the right decision...

I think it depends on what camera you're using. If it's something similar to the Canon t3i, I would recommend that, if you really can't spend any more money on a microphone, you just use the mic built into your camera. The audio quality is not outstanding, obviously, but it's acceptable if the film is low budget. If you are really interested in improving your audio quality, I would look into microphones made by the company Rode. Just search "Rode microphone" in the Amazon search bar and there should be plenty of results. Usually these microphones range from about $150 - $250. I hope this helps! - Chairlift Productions

Yea, right? I've been watching them for an awfully long time just hoping to get them on a sale and now they are going for stupid money. It's not just Amazon either, I can't find a decent price anywhere.I should've just purchased them before :(I would have to assume they stopped making them. I don't see why though, they are popular.edit. Just looked at their site http://eu.audio-technica.com/en/products/product.asp?catID=6&subID;=43&prodID;=156 It is listed as discontinued.I guess the question now is what else do they have that is close to the quality and price that these were?

I'm wonder the same, esp. since the Q2 hypes Zoom 96/24 full fidelity PLUS Mid-Side recording (for more realistic, wider and deeper sound). Yet the Q4 is 3 times the price! Sounds to me like at best it's a close call between the 2 machines.

I'm with you Allan. I just purchased the 650 at Costco.com for $325 including shipping and handling. I couldn't justify paying an extra ~ $200 for the bluetooth functionality of the 660. FYI, current Amazon price for the $600 is $517 (includes free shipping). Good luck in your search & Happy Thanksgiving Angelita!!

I just ordered these myself yesterday from Amazon (not a 3rd party) and hopefully I will not receive a fake pair. Did you order yours directly from Amazon and were there any visable signs on the packaging that would help me identify mine as fakes, before i open and remove the headphones from the package? The Sennheiser website has a description of the authentic packaging for comparrison. I also contacted Amazon to see if this problem can be addressed, hopefully before they ship my order. I look forward to reading any future posts to see how Amazon handles this.

I honestly have no idea. :). I've seen the white one was $599 on the Beats website, and the one I have was $299. I know some are wireless which may be why they are more expensive, but unfortunately these are not.
