How do these compare to the Portapro? Is sound quality as good or close? I've used the koss clip on. I liked the sound but the clips always came off

I have both. I can't tell the difference in terms of sound quality. In my opinion, the SportaPro looks better and does not hurt my ears, as the PortaPro does after prolonged wearing.

The drivers I believe are exactly the same. However, the sportapro drivers attach to a solid plastic back, whereas the portapro drivers attach to a plastic back with cutouts to allow air to move freely, reducing undesirable resonance (distortion). The portapro headband also offers more range of adjustment for length.

I think the sound is pretty good for the price and size. I really like how the set folds and is easy to carry. The bass and highs are very respectable. I even use them with my cell phone. Hope this information helps.

I cannot say from personal use that the Portapro sound "better" than the ProDj. However, I can assure you that they will sound totally different. This is because your question is comparing two completely different types of things. Your question is like asking whether a bicycle is better than a motorcycle. The portapro might be better if you need something ultra portable with a widely respected sound signature. The ProDj are not as ultra portable, but might be better for more detailed listening in a comfortable setting, such as home or office or maybe even a commute. In any case, you can count on the fact that they will sound very different because they are in completely different categories.

Just look at the list at the bottom for these headphones, the "Users who bought this also bought..." list. Any of those tips will work great. I bought the super cheap memory foam ones that come in the three pack with three different sizes and they're awesome, link to those ones below. The comply tips are more expensive but considered higher quality, my friend bought those ones, and likes them as well. http://www.amazon.com/Bluecell-Medium-Eartips-earbuds-earphones/dp/B007BWCDYQ/ref=pd_sim_e_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0D3SHEJ5FY31YCEH1NN5

To my ear, the sound between the ones with the clips and without the clips is indistinguishable. They both sound excellent. This is a great product.imho

I looked this up for you and couldn't find many comparisons. I just found this guy's youtube video on headfi. http://www.head-fi.org/t/629433/new-sony-extra-bass-mdr-xb600-mdr-xb800-unboxing-videosEven so, you should try seeing if you can find more comparisons or wait until more come out to have more opinions as the guy in the video may not be 100% reliable (also, they guy said that he didn't burn them in yet). Unfortunately that my take some time.

The sound quality I think depends more on the headphones. I liked the headphones that came with this player better than the one that comes with the sansa. The deal breaker for me more than anything else is the lifespan of my player. I got tired of replacing my. Sansa clip when it stopped working. I've had my Raga longer than any Sans a I've owned and wrote a review titled something like, "Goodbye Sansa , hello Raga!" Lol. I'm a runner and with all the movement and sweating I do, I needed something durable; Raga, for me, fits the bill (ans saves me $$). Now that Songbird has FINALLY upgraded their software, I've ceased to have anything to complain about for this device. The sound quality I think depends more on the headphones.

They don't stay on very well. All I have to do is look down and they slide off my head. You probably want the Koss PortaPro (very comfortable, sounds better than the HD218, and they never fall off). IEMs are good also, since they'll stay in and won't interfere with a hat/helmet, but they do shut out outside noise so you might want to think twice before using them on the slopes. Hearing that scream of "Watch out, you idiot!" might actually save your life.

It's a totally different headphone experience with the open-backed AKG's. I don't have the M50s, but I do have the ATH M40fs, and the K 701's are noticeably superior in sound reproduction quality. I've loved my M40fs's for years, but they sound compressed when A/B'd with the K 701's. When I mix with the AKG's and then re-listen through my monitors, the translation is very close across the entire frequency range. YMMV of course. I hope this was some help.

I've owned both and they are both good headphones. The Inspiration are on the heavier side compared to the extremely light weight Momentum. I was happy with the sound with both headphones but the Momentum are definitely better at everything.

I love the sound of Fidelios but find them heavy for running/gym. For that I use Klipsh S4i which are lighter and sound almost as good.

I love the sound quality and portable convenience. In addition, very high battery or USB life. I've had these for at least a year and only need to recharge once and I very much use them on a every other day to daily basis. I hoped I helped in any way on making your decision more at ease. Let me know if it works out�

I suggest going for these ones rather than the M50 stock pads. Velour &gt;&gt;&gt; Pleather. I have an M50 and was very pleased when I changed the stock pads with these as it made the sound experience a bit better. I have seen pictures of pro700 mk2s having these velour pads and the owners loved it. Go for it! :)

There pretty good.... I love these headphones.... But for the price you can't go wrong.... I workout at the gym and the occasional snag does mess up the plug so you end up only hearing one side.... I usually might go through 3 sets a year realistically .... BUT I recently bought the beats and they sound just the same as the koss... The koss hit notes as deep as 20hz just like beats.... Buy them,, they rock

I have found these headphone to sound excellent!! Good for DJ'ing? I give it a big Yes...Compared to Beats (which I owned a pair) Beats have a tendency to snap (the headband that is) after a couple of times of warranty replacement I got rid of them...But I have been a DJ since 1973...yeah a long time...my Favorite are the KOSS PRO-4 AA's which I used then and own a pair now...

Glad to help...People often see to be able to tell when I am using the headphones....when in low to med noise environments the output is great. Seemingly the headphones do not defeat exterior noise so the result is often a mixture of everything that is going on my side of the call. Functionality is awesome...as long as you're in an enviro that is not noisy you will love 'em.

I purchased mine a while ago and I mostly use it for my iPod and my laptop, for movies and online streaming of shows. I think the sound resolution is great. The bass is not overpowering, and the sound is rich. The ear-pads sit well on your ears and are not painful, so you don't end up with something compressing your head. In addition, what I mostly like about these headphones is that once you put them on, it diminishes outside noise. Even better. So to answer your question, then yes: this product is great for listening to music at home. Plus it comes with its own bag. Bonus:)I hope this review was helpful.
