Sennheiser PMX80 vs PMX70 Are there any notable changes between the two (aside from color and price)?

I spoke with Sennheiser I asked them what the difference was and they said they were very Similar. I guess that means no difference besides the color, and of course the price. I would get the green ones I love mine.

Are these bendable ? I have a cheapo pair of another brand and they're OK but kind of wide for my head so they don't sit close enough to my ear.I need a pait that I can bend so it stays put .PS: I don't like the in the ear buds and rather stick with this type of design but need a pait that I can bend inward.Thanks

Hah! I'm also a tried-and-true PMX70 fan, wanted to upgrade, tried the PMX680, found them to be terrible, went with a PMX80, they broke after a handful of uses... now rebuying assuming I just got a bad set.I feel the PMX80 is a little more heavy-duty and better-sounding, but I've not done a side-by-side.

If you haven't bought either yet, the PMX80's are on sale now, about $16 cheaper than the PMX70's!

No, they are not bendable. Just plastic. these *will* stay put, as they squeeze onto your ears. For me, the squeezing is tight enough such that it closes off my ear canal- so they don't work well for me. That, and my new pair came with an intermittent in the plug. (got a refund from the seller)

I've had them both. They are identical. The PMX70 I had the left ear stopped working after 18 months. Not worth the warranty repair. Bought a replacement PMX80 and the left ear stopped working after 3 months. Grrrr!!! After receiving a replacement pair *both* ears suddenly started to *shock* inside my ears after 6 months of use on multiple devices). So once again I'm calling the company. I work out hard daily and do sweat but that's where I thought the strength of these headphones were.

I'm having the same problem - closing off my ear canal. Did you find a solution or different product that stay put but don't have the same issue?

I have a pair of PMX70s and I too wanted an upgrade. I made the mistake of getting the PMX680s which sound like crap--don't waste your money on the 680s! At this point, I'm going to try the PMX90s which are probably not the best for sweaty runners, but for $22 shipped I don't mind giving them a shot. Plus I have an extra set of non-foam pads from my HD25-1 IIs which I will retrofit onto the PMX90 drivers.

If you're asking about the price difference between the two PX 100-II models, the "i" ($72ish) has a three-button control for volume/pause/etc. and a mic for use with a phone. Besides that, I understand that they are the same headphones, drives, construction, etc.

I can't say I know! I see people with both types and have never asked which they prefer. I purchased Sennheiser because of familiarity with the brand. Felt like for the price these are a great value (for my taste!). Good luck!

I am not trying to be flip with my answer, but its like comparing a VW Beetle to a new Corvette. The difference is that noticeable.....higher highs, mid range is dynamic,lows are right there without being overbearing....I have both headsets.....I hardly ever use the the 7506's anymore. the 7520's keep getting better as they break in. You will not be sorry if you purchase them......Roger

This headset is based on DT770. As far as music goes, it has a different sound signature than DT880. This headset will have more pronounced bass and recessed mids, while DT880 is the most neutral Beyer on this tier. If you want to read more, there's a great article on head-fi called "Sonic Differences between DT770-DT990 models": http://www.head-fi.org/t/513393/guide-sonic-differences-between-dt770-dt990-models-more . For gaming, this headset is likely to be more "fun" (immersive).

they are completely different. M50 are closed, transportable, rugged - better for dj, on the move...K701 are for home use only. max comfort, open (=of course much better sound). Adam, in-ear.com

Several Head-Fi'ers have asked AKG representatives about the reported differences in sound response. There is officially currently none whatsoever. According to the representatives, the only difference is in badging and any differences seen in graphed results and heard in listening sessions are merely because of positioning during testing and manufacturing variation. Due to the rather large, angled earpads, the Q/K70X's sound response can experience variations of 10 decibels or more in some areas from extremely slight changes in positioning. In fact, a cited common problem among users is that many of them extend the headphones very far down and forward on their cheeks, which results in a boring, undynamic sound. Now, having said all this, this is not to say there is not a difference between the vintage, first generation crop of K701 when it first came out and the newer Q701 and K701/2 that are currently in production. As a matter of fact, many users have reported that the grit in the older K701 is there no more in the newer models.

The pro700's had more bass to them but it really muffled the other ranges to the point that I really didn't like the sound. The ATH-M50's are my favorite headphone I've tried yet. Good rounded sound but decent bass too. I love them. Also the M50's are much more comfortable.

I saw some Sony headphones at Radio Shack for $10 that looked like they had the exact size of the Sennheiser PX100s. I intend to buy them just for the cushions if I can't find some elsewhere cheaper.

There's actually a difference. The treble around 10k Hz was reworked to not be so piercing, and the low bass got some work as well. Nothing major, but as far as sound goes, there are tiny changes based on previous feedback by customers.

There may be....i am conditioned to think that 20 bucks more means something a bit additional, perhaps. Maybe the other model has a bigger sound.....however, maybe they are essentially the same. If you find any info, please let me know. Thanks!

Personally I rank them a bit higher, others will say these don't have enough bass (I would strongly disagree) however to be honest I haven't used these in ~9months, I gave them to my fiance and bought some ATH-A900X's which are the same driver but with aluminium housing and sound a few notches above both. Both are fantastic headphones, but the M50's have a much flatter soundstage compared to the ATH-A700X's, I would also say that they are not as comfortable. Slightly more portable.

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

For those who have the 701 already but are thinging about 702. I'd say don't bother. Not an upgrade, at best your moving laterally. Save up a bit longer make a jump to something lme the Audeze lcd 2. That's a very nice upgrade. Save longer jump to lcd 3 now that's not big its huge. But now your looking at Sennheiser hd 800 territory. Nw were talking true audio bliss.

I guess you mean M-80 vs M-100. M-80 has more of a overall balanced sound signature, perfect for almost everything, be it classical music or dub step. M-100 is more bass heavy and has been deemed more suitable for similar music, although people who have already dished out $300 for the M-100 would disagree.I own M80 and I've listened to M-100. I would recommend M-80 but for around $90 if you are vigilant and keep an eye out for "As New" on Amazon Warehouse Deals. That's where I found mine two years back, literally brand new for $113.

So, the sound quality is more warmer. Compact and more comfy for your eara defently i couldnot wear the m80s over 30mins and the gap bewtween ears and the head is more closed go with them beleave me! I had alot of headphones to test and theye are one of the best.

I never saw or heard the hm-700, but you can consider the re-400 ear pieces balanced, if colored sound is your concern. They are very lean on the bass, more mid-range focused. When my pair were burned in after about a week of use, they lost all the bass, I couldn't tolerate them, so they were returned. If you want analytic audio gear, you will love these.
