What are the differences between this model, HD 428 and the newer model, HD 429? I am a transcriber and need good quality headphones

Don't know about the HD429, but you might think about getting headphones with more treble response than the HD428 for use in transcribing. Depends on the tonal balance of your audio source. I know our VOIP phones at work chop off the top end of the audio.

I've had both models. Newer version is a better product. Treble & midrange is improved overall & adjustable bass is smoother. A great listening experience. The new Crushers are a big step up from the older Skull crushers

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 dont know if they have "superior sound quality" but what i do lnow is that they have very different uses. The QC 25 are intended for traveling while the SEN HD8 are for djing. Sennheiser (in their higher range headphones) has way better quality making different instruments and sound in general clearer and easier to identify therefore better to dj with. They are pretry good traveling and listening headphones. They do not have noise canceling but still do a pretty good job at isolating as long as its not VERY noisy. NOW! i would NEVER buy Bose cans...they break, period. bose has great marketing bit their crap breaks. Dont waste your money, go Senn. They are solid and confortable.

They're the exact same unit. To be perfectly honest I was very disappointed in the fit and finish of them, and the sound quality was not much better than my Beats Tour headphones. I wish someone would've told me before I bought them! :)

You would really have to have your tunes cranked up big time to get leakage. I think the HD 239 headphones sound better and are more confortable. I use them at work because they cause zero ear fatigue (however, they do not fold like the PX100 headphones).

No quality difference! But keep in mind, these headphones have literally no bass to them. I love JLab, and these are my least favorite. Go with the J4's. They have the most powerful bass and overall gorgeous sound. I have had multiple friends switch to the J4's.Enjoy!!

The amperiors are newer. Amperior are slightly better, according to Sennheiser.I don't know the HD25, but the amperiors are excellent to me

Is it close to normal headphones lol these are at the top end in sound I had a pair of grado's before they broke the 225i and the sound a lot warmer with better bass and even though they're not as detailed as the 325i from grado you'd be hard pressed to hear the difference unless you put them in a very high quality hifi..I've tried sony/and bose/mommouth and they beat them all on sound...we're these fall down is there not as comphe as the bose top line and if you like the bass of the sonys but these are well balanced and very well refined you'd be hard pressed to find better for less money only 325i from grado beat them but they are open backed and lack the bass and have no noise cancellation Is it close to normal headphones lol these are at the top end in sound I had a pair of grado's before they broke the 225i and the sound a lot warmer with better bass and even though they're not as detailed as the 325i from grado you'd be hard pressed to hear the difference unless you put them in a very high quality hifi..I've tried sony/and bose/mommouth and they beat them all on sound...we're these fall down is there not as comphe as the bose top line and if you like the bass of the sonys but these are well balanced and very well refined you'd be hard pressed to find better for less money... » Read More Is it close to normal headphones lol these are at the top end in sound I had a pair of grado's before they broke the 225i and the sound a lot warmer with better bass and even though they're not as detailed as the 325i from grado you'd be hard pressed to hear the difference unless you put them in a very high quality hifi..I've tried sony/and bose/mommouth and they beat them all on sound...we're these fall down is there not as comphe as the bose top line and if you like the bass of the sonys but these are well balanced and very well refined you'd be hard pressed to find better for less money only 325i from grado beat them but they are open backed and lack the bass and have no noise cancellation « Show Less

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.

Thanks Brent...The only big differences I could tell were some of the extras in the packaging and differences in the ear cuff construction.But they seemed to be the same setup otherwise.I went ahead and bought the 428s since, like you mentioned, they were at a price I couldn't pass up.Thanks for the assist!

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.

They are both great, but the 315's are better sounding. I have a pair of 535's that sound good, but I use these more often than most all my earbuds. If I am listening through my home system, I use Beyerdynamic's either mt T-70's or my T-90's. Also as with all speakers and headphones there is going to be a break in period. They will sound different in a few weeks than right out of the box.

Both of the HD 558 and the SoundTrue are excellent headphones for the budget audiophile. There are two main differences - one related to sound and one related to comfort. The HD558 have an "open" design while the SoundTrue are "closed". Closed with keep the sound in and give you passive noise isolation while the open do not. However, some say that the open style gives more of a full or expansive sound, but I find this to be a matter of personal preference. I find the SoundTrue to be more comfortable than the HD 558. I have a large head, and the HD 558 have a slight but noticeable clamping effect while the I forget that I'm wearing the SoundTrue. I have reviewed both if you want more details.

Hi, sorry can't help as I don't have experience with this devices. Anyway you ordered outstanding headphones, top class for sure, I used with a good DAC and a Magny amplifier and really are one of my prefered headphones (well, I keep the 250ohm version as I almost never use portable devices for music). Hope you likes the Beyers. Leo.

Theses headphones are very good but now i have found that the monster n-tune and N-pulses are THE best headphones i own.The n-tunes maybe the best because of sound and size.my advice is if you have the money buy one of the monsters,if the akg's are cheaper then the akg 67's are really nice.but my advice would be to buy one of the monsters because they sound great with ALL kinds of music. Theyy should not be that much more than the akg's,let me know how everything turns out please, I'm very interested to hear from you and your opinion on your pick.

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.
