Hi, I was wondering what is the difference between the ATH-PRO500MK2 vs the ATH-PRO700MK2 as reviews on the 500 and comparisons to the 700 are sparse...

Tried the ATH-WS77 at Stereo and felt that it was alright though wasn't able to take the plunge and buy it Was wondering how it stacked up against the two above. Sound-wise, I am looking for good bass and clear highs. Thanks!

You can give both the Audio Technica ATH-CKS99I & ATH-CKS1000 a try. Both are from Audio Technica's solid bass range. The CKS99I features an Iphone remote control with mic and the CKS1000 features a smartphone volume control with mic.

The PRO500MK2 is a supra-aural headphones whereas the PRO700MK2 is a circumaural headphones. You can consider the PRO700MK2 more. Personally find circumaural more comfortable to wear.

Can give the Sennheiser CX685 a try. Alternatively you can take a look at the Sennheiser PMX685i and Aftershokz M2 because in-ear earphones will generate a lot of microphonics when jogging.

Basshead IEM

- Your rig - Mobile, PSVita
- What type of usage - Gaming, Music
- File format used in your source - MP3
- Genre of music you listen to - Rock, Trance, K-POP
- Headphone / earphone type - IEM
- Other requirements - Subwoofer-type bass
- Budget - $100 below

Looking for a good pair of IEM with lots of deep bass without sacrifing some clarity. Something that will sound like Beats Mixr would be good.

I tried on JVC XX FX3X and it has a good amount of bass and still got some clarity. What else can you recommend at this price and quality?

TIA!

Does it come as a freebie per purchase? or something like a lucky draw?
Until when is the promotion?

How does the ATH-CKS77X compare to the JVC FX3X?

Thank you!

Yes it's a freebie per receipt. It's until the end of July. Personally prefer the fitting and the sound of the CKS77X over the FX3X. Find that the sound of the CKS77X more refined also.

POWERFUL ENOUGH TO BLOCK OUT A JET ENGINE.

Powered by a pair of AAA batteries, the noise cancellation feature in a pair of stylish Beats Studio headphones amplifies the music as it blocks out noise, giving you consistently powerful and intense sound.

Went to Beats website and saw this.. this headphone so powerful? i wanted to buy...
those who owns this headphone, does it really cancel the noise with AAA battery that good?
