How is this like compared to Audio-Technica's M50x?

I've worn both of these actually. And I've found the M50X's to be amazingly good for the price. They're extremely comfortable, and they're a good choice overall. Nonetheless, the P5's get the edge. The sound is neutral on both of them, but the P5's sound is a bit more nuanced, and true to the source material. (And if you're looking for something with thumping bass, neither of these are your friend - I'd look at beats for that). The P5's are also much more "luxurious". The padding, the presentation, and the details - everything is a step up, albeit at a heftier price tag. I would definitely recommend trying both out at a store if you can - it's a close one.

My son just bought the Audio-Technica ATHM50RD, and I give the Audio-Technica the edge sonically. It is more spacious sounding, and I find it to be more detailed. Of course the B&W; is much more beautifully built and looks far superior. But for the sounds and comfort I definitely prefer the Audio-Technica.

From what I've read the 700x is more comfortable and for me they are, but as many people have said they fit a large head. Also 700x are a updated version, with a slightly adjusted bass response. Complaints of the original 700s was that they were lacking bass. I power them with asus essence stx sound card and would rate them very highly for their price, comfort, sound quality. Maybe like a 9/10

I own both and the Bose absolutely blow the beats out of the water in every way. Much better noise cancellation. the build quality is so much better and so is the sound. the beats sound so muddled out and the bass in them is way to overpowering and it is lagging. in upbeat tracks the beats bass falls way behind while the Bose sound much more tight. and if you ask me i think that the Bose actually look better, there is no douche B on the side of them screaming out hey look at me i paid to much for headphones that sound like crap. really if you want good headphones go for the Bose. or for cheaper and almost better sound quality go for the Audio Technica ATH-M50 I own both and the Bose absolutely blow the beats out of the water in every way.

I just got a T51i (a variation of T51P with volume buttons and microphone). My first impression is it produces remarkably more bass than most of other headphones I've listened to such as M50, PX 200 II, Yuin PK2, etc.

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.

I have m50s as well. In comparison the m-100's have a significantly better sound on the low end. The bass respond you get with these are really good. The highs are also better than the m50s. To me, they do not "pierce" the ears as much when I turn it up a bit. Finally, the mids are about the same in quality, however since the vmodas have those two other strengths, you will probably notice the mids to be better with m50.

Well I have the XS and I love them , from what I can tell is that the M-80's have a few more flavors but when it comes to sound and construction the XS are the way to go. The XS are tested up to Military specs and the dynamic range on the XS seems to be better. I have mine hooked up to either my HTC ONE phone or even better at home I have a Bravo Audio tube headphone amp and the XS are just unbelievable , But they are virtually the same . Same 40 mm driver another huge factor for me is that I can fold these us and the case is awesomely perfect!!! Basically what IO have found is that unless you want spend a lot more money The V-MODA xs ARE BETTER THAN THE M80'S IN MANY CATEGORIES THEY ARE THE BEST FOR YOUR MONEY , UNLESS YOU CAN AFFORD THE 100'S ., AND THAT IS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT TOPIC . Sorry bout the stupid caps , I can safely say ( This is the only time I have ever plugged for any company but these things are great plus you can switch either side for your cable and you can also run another pair of head phones from the empty port on whatever side doesn't connect to the music obviously . They are all nice obviously but the two best are the XS and then of course the 100s . hope this helped you bud , if you have any other questions feel free .EZ be brother I was just looking at a few more differences the XS are totally the way to go !!!

They fit but loosely. They are also significantly worse at deadening external noise vs the stock earpads. I found this to be detrimental to the sound quality of the headphones, and for that I would not recommend them for the M50X/S. Stick with the stock ones, you'll be happy you did.

Subtle differences. The M50xbl has 3 detachable cables and of course has a different color scheme. Personally, I'd go with the M50xBL if the detachable cables are worth it to you. Otherwise, I'd save some money and go for the ATHM50RD because they both sound exactly the same.

I own both headphones and i can say without a doubt the PRO 700s are a step up from the M50s in sound quality, especially bass. Their drivers are 53mm compared to the m50s 45mm drivers and this can be heard immediately in a comparison test. Comfort wise the m50s win. The PRO 700s are my favorite and can be fitted with the more comfortable M50's pads.

I had the M50s for about two years, loved them dearly, unfortunately the plug got yanked and I had to replace them. I'm currently returning my 2nd pair of M50x, the first had a high pitch sound than could barely be heard but have extreme headaches and the ones I'm returning now sometimes have static regardless of what device or cable I use; hopefully the third will be the charm since I'm spoiled with the detachable cables now.

Hi, Hunter, I'm assuming we're talking about the ANC off situation.The overall SQ, UE 6000 is better than ATH-M50S in my opinion. The bass is actually slightly emphasized, but it's tighter and deeper compares with M50S. It's spacious and has clearer soundstage to me.By the way, it is surprisingly comfortable for long session listening. For the price on Amazon right now, I'll say it's a great timing to buy UE 6000.

I have both beats mixr and the audio technica athm50rd. The Beats have a higher bass response but the Audio technica seem to provide a more balance sound.

Do not know. However, I just bought Audio-Technica ATH-m50's which I think are better. Better sound, beefier, and better for monitoring because they block out sound much better.

I have had both and prefer the Audio technica for comfort and noise reduction. The Bose are more streamlined and attractive.

Hey Dave, there is a slight discomfort that adds up, I wouldn't be able to wear these for 15+ hours. With that said I find on-ear headphones to be discomforting in general, the sides of my ears get pinched and if you have sensitive skin it will leave bruises and your ears will look like a banana peel. I wouldn't recommend on-ear headphones for extended usage, over the ear headphones would be ideal. I think you can order custom earpads for the device, not sure how much they cost but I'm sure you probably don't want to spend additional money for that. Maybe consider the Audio-Technica's M50X I reviewed both these headphones on my channel. Cheers! Hey Dave, there is a slight discomfort that adds up, I wouldn't be able to wear these for 15+ hours.

Both are great headphones. Everyone's description is pretty head-on from what I've read. I remember buying the HD280's at target on clearance- I opened them in the car out of excitement. They had REALLY TIGHT bass. The PX100 is more sloppy, but it's a really fun headphone unlike the PX100. I enjoyed it alot for most of my music (Electronica, Rap, Metal, Trance). The bass really hits on the 280's.
