HD 70 versus HD 72 Does anyone have an opinion about the HD72 versus the HD 70 other than price?

HD72 cost much more than HD70, it must has it's reason, but unless you use testing tools, as most of people, you can not even tell the different in a dark room. if money is not problem, go get HD72, it will make you fell better. otherwise HD70 is the best for the value. I pick HD70 for my home theater, by the way.

I just bought a Mcintosh MHA100 DAC/AMP and it is brilliant with the HD600. It completely changed the performance and took it to a level that in my opinion was better than $1800 cans I tried. If you like tubes Woo Audio WA7 has some excellent feedback

Sound differences aside, the LCD-3 is very heavy compared to the HD800. I couldn't stand to wear the LCD-3 for more than a few minutes before wanting to take them off. This was a major factor in deciding to go with the HD-800 instead.

Hey. I have never owned the HD 650 but I can tell you that they are very commonly used in the studio and therefore have very flat sound. That's why you get that veil in the vocals (especially female vocals). The HD598 was made with audiophiles in mind but they are very enjoyable to listen to. The vocal and acoustic part of the midrange is the best I've heard in that price range. It's clear, spacious, and full without being heavy. I personally use my Hd598s to edit female vocals and piano and I am very happy with them. Many audiophiles say that the 598s are more enjoyable to listen to than the 650s or 600 despite the cheaper price. Hey.

I did some research on this a couple of years ago and as I recall there is a different model for HD. I do not have the HD camera so did not need the HD version. The HD version was a bit higher in price.

I've not heard the "Quincy Jones" variation (no place around here to audition any of them), but from looking at the frequency response graphs on various websites, I'm guessing that those have a little bit of bass boost, while the 702's are more neutral in terms of bass response.

I have the Dragonfly, and also better DAC/amps. I recommend something better than the Dragonfly with these headphones. They are good enough that you will be able to appreciate the difference a better dac/amp can make. I have the Resonessence Concero HP. It's quite awesome, and starkly better than my Dragonfly, but a lot more expensive. For a bit more than the price of the DF, you'd probably get a lot more quality if you get the Meridian Explorer, or the Audioengine D3, or the iFi. I haven't tried these three, but based on my Resonessence vs DF experience, I do know the HP50s are good enough to reveal the difference, so don't miss out by getting a low-tier DAC.

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 almost went with the 500 but decided the 700 was better for the slight upper cost, you can expand off the 700 much better in the future and it has more power which makes for a cleaner sound in music,etc.. I really enjoy my stereo.

I have a Sennheiser HD598, which with a similar price to this Bose QC15. It seems that HD598 has a wider sound and more high-frequency sound. I prefer the cable of Bose because HD598's cable is too long and a bit heavy to carry. Anyway, both headphone are in perfect quality and I will use them in different condition (e.g. Bose outside the door or on the traffic, HD598 in room. ^_^

I had both.. returned the 701 q because the bumps are not comfortable after a while. I read that the 701q have a better bass reproduction.. But I could tell 0 difference in sound after many hours of testing.. went with k702 for comfort

the bass is amazing. it's fast, tight, and has tremendous range. here are the other open headphones I've listened to, in comparison: beyerdynamic dt880 32ohm - much lighter bass impact. the 880 is nowhere near the range and impact of the he400. it doesn't go as low, isn't as detailed, and isn't as impactful. sennheiser hd598 - the sennheiser has even less bass than the dt880 so the same comparison applies, but the gap between it and the he400 is even bigger. sennheiser hd600/650 - i'll lump these two together, though i'll focus more on the 650 which in my opinion has superior bass to the 600. the 650 can somewhat compete with the he400 in terms of impact. it's less controlled and detailed, but still has some decent weight. the he400 still has more detail and clarity in the bass, and probably more impact as well but it's closer than the other headphones. the bass of the 650 is very slow, so it can get muddy/boomy at times. that really doesn't happen with the he400. the planar driver is so fast even double bass drums on speed metal tracks are tight and well defined. you can hear each individual hit on the drum. the 650 is too slow so you lose that fine detail. all in all the he400 is a real star in the bass department. if you're coming off closed headphones they still might seem light at first, but once you acclimate to them you'll start to realize just how good that bass is. and if you're coming off other open headphones, you're likely going to be blown away, assuming you haven't heard audeze or other high end headphones. don't expect ear melting bass impact, it's not there. it's linear, tight, powerful, and natural sounding. by far the best bass of any headphone I've owned. hope that helps.

The SR-60i differs from the Superlux HD 681 in quite a few ways. I'll talk about the design first. The SR-60i is an open, on-ear design, meaning that sound will leak out like a speaker and the ear pads do not envelope your ear but rather rest on top of them. They are smaller and lighter than the HD 681 but feel like a sturdy headphone. The ear cups are made of plastic and the headband is a slim leatherette band with a flexible metal inside. The ear pads are made of foam material, Grado calls them "Comfies". I've read that many users find them uncomfortable, but I don't find that the case with mine. Their sound signature is quite a bit different than the HD 681. The HD 681's focus more on the low and high frequencies while the mids are a bit recessed. I would describe the sound signature as V-shaped. They have a large sound stage and the bass on these headphones is really impressive. If desired, you can EQ the bass up and have an earthquake in your ears! The highs on these are the most problemic to me. To my ears, they are shrilling and sibilant. It makes me cringe whenever I hear high notes from female vocals. Thankfully you can EQ the high frequencies down to make it much better. The SR-60i on the other hand focuses more on the middle and high frequencies. They are a bit warm with a slight emphasis on the upper mid range and highs. The bass won't impress you if you're a bass head, it is very polite and quick. It's there but doesn't really stand out. The sound stage on these are rather small. To me, it feels like I'm right in the middle of the performing band. Many people describe Grado's as overly bright headphones, personally, I don't find that the case with the SR-60i. Both headphones are great value for the price but choosing between the two really depends on your preferred genres/needs. If possible, I would highly recommend auditioning them before you buy. I hope this helps!

Hey Jason, I cannot compare the two since I only have the HD7084. All the stations I receive are within 40 miles and the land is flat here in Florida. Good luck.
