    The 700s sound awesome for their price. Very clear and smooth. To top it off they are incredibly comfortable. I can wear them for hours. The A900s would sound different since they're closed (the AD700s are open). I guess they would have more bass and a closed-in sound but I haven't tried them myself.
    i heard they sound like the sony mdr-cd3000 with an amp.

        ^^^ Holy shit, -e-. I hadn't even opened the stock iPod headphones since I got them because I had heard they were terrible, but I tried them out the other day, and you're right. These things have surprisingly good low frequency reproduction, especially for their size.

        for iPod stock phones!


        EDIT: I've noticed that the bass response is much better when you rotate the phones so that the cord faces forward instead of down. Those little holes on the back of the buds apparently give them the oomph they need, and arranging them this way makes sure you get them in your ear.

        You can't have manslaughter without laughter.

        "Son," he said without preamble, "never trust a man who doesn't drink because he's probably a self-righteous sort, a man who thinks he knows right from wrong all the time. Some of them are good men, but in the name of goodness, they cause most of the suffering in the world. They're the judges, the meddlers. And, son, never trust a man who drinks but refuses to get drunk. They're usually afraid of something deep down inside, either that they're a coward or a fool or mean and violent. You can't trust a man who's afraid of himself. But sometimes, son, you can trust a man who occasionally kneels before a toilet. The chances are that he is learning something about humility and his natural human foolishness, about how to survive himself. It's damned hard for a man to take himself too seriously when he's heaving his guts into a dirty toilet bowl."

          Mp3's sound great as well, no complaints here with these Sony's best purchase I've made this year in regards to dj/mixing/music. Comfortable too, grabs your entire ear and is almost air tight! lol.
          yup, i listen to my ipod with these bad boys & have used them daily for about 4 years. awesome sound. the only pair of "serious" headphones i've ever owned. can't imagine any better sound...

            Sennhesier HD280 Pro's.

            Very nice cans. They're not top of the line, but definitely not bottom.

            Circumaural is the only way to go. They sound great with a nice frequency response.
            may the groove be with you

                Different types of headphones have different purposes. Closed headphones like the Sony MDR-V700s will give you a better kick for the bassline because of the air tight seal. Open headphones, headphones that have a permeable mesh, will offer better sound clarity, so for me it all depends on the music I'm listening to, which is mostly EDM. I have a pair of the Sony MDR-V700s and was wondering if anyone prefers the Sennheiser 280s over the Sony headphones.

                    i think sennheiser are just producing the finnest speakers and pricing themselves way below ppl that are on par quality wise . to get equivilant of the hd650's u gotta pay 3 times more than the ?240 i paid for them .quality is paramount but money counts

                              iv'e tried loads of headphones for both mp3 player and home so without spending megabucks u gotta go for

                              they are a bit good .. not tried a pair of sony that can get any clarity yet . i am a lil deaf and i pick up on any deviation on sound ( for some reason crackle or humming goes through my body like someone hit a nerve) and though i havn't tried shure and grado .. even the bottom end seinnheiser have largest frequency range and lowest distortion levels of any headphones in price range . i went for the hd650's cos they got largest range of any and i mean any headset they are a lil heavy but even if u got a 20k sound system at home with the full works put on at full blast will u be able to come close to the the sensation of listening to these things . i could go on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about these things cos they realy do wipe the floor with headsets u can get for under a ?1000 and the px100's from what iv'e checked against the sure E3's senn kick their ass too . if ure gonna buy headphones the two things u look for are frequency range and noise distortion not, don't they look cool . or i saw sasha with a set of these . or these feel so conmfy .. thems are girly criteria .blokes do numbers .. so read em .. price frequency and distortion


                              damn that turned into a bit of a rant .. srry guys
