Has anyone heard a comparison between these and the Sony SSB1000? Any thoughts?

For "middle of the road" units (very subjective anyway), these are generally considered to sound better than the Sonys. But really, everyone's ears are different - try to listen to both if you can arrange it. Also, don't expect amazing bass out of either, but that can be overrated depending on what you're listening to. I'd much rather have the Pioneers than a system w/subwoofer that was not natural sounding, had unrealistically boosted bass, etc...

Sorry, but as Gary P says, "middle of the road units". Still, if youre in the middle of the road, why not travel cheaply and well. Im delighted with mine. Paul H.

I cannot answer this, but I can comment that these are very middle of the road unitsI have 4 of them for my 7.1 system, I picked them because of the write-ups.They are well worth the money & are more full range than you would expect for there size. they play very loud for blue-ray & can take the volume & beating.Gary P

I have both models - the MDRZX300 has better sound - much richer and more bass. The mdrzx100s aren't terrible, and are fine for casual listening or movies. But if you really like music, you are better off getting this pair or the cheaper model.

From what I've read the 700x is more comfortable and for me they are, but as many people have said they fit a large head. Also 700x are a updated version, with a slightly adjusted bass response. Complaints of the original 700s was that they were lacking bass. I power them with asus essence stx sound card and would rate them very highly for their price, comfort, sound quality. Maybe like a 9/10

I only tried these not the x1x but if the x1x have any bass levels at all, they have won in that category. The 101b had none. Just very loud highs, noticeably higher than the original iphone set I've been using. Go to sears try 101b then return them if u want.

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.

I've been debating this also, the ss2300 has great reviews and a much higher MSRP, so it appears to be a better deal. But if this is basically the same but only a newer model maybe this is my best bet.

I'm trying to decide whether to go with either the 800IS, 850IS, or the Sony DSC-T100. I guess pic quality is the most important, and I usually trust Canon images above all others in this class....but I really love the size and design of the Sony, especially the sliding lens cover which powers it up. Anyone have an opinion?

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.

They are no so bass heavy as to creat distortion with pop or rock. It's just relative to the M-100s I think they have a bias toward the bass end of the sound spectrum. There is no distortion, just the beautiful sound no matter what type of music you're listening to.

Does the HF S200 have better low light performance than the S100?? One of the biggest complaints about the S100 is the indoor/low light performance. Sony seems to do much better in that area.

I have both of them and I can honestly tell you that, sound wise, these are better. They also seem to fit more snugly around the ear without being uncomfortable, and they do not leak as much sound. But build quality wise- the mdr xb500 stands out much more. The swivel design tends to be more easier to break than the solid design of the sony mdr-xb500. The wire of the sony mdr-xb500 series is also thicker. These have a more striated design. If you tend to go through headphones due to breaking, I would not recommend these headphones.

Did you ever find an alternative to the BB2001? Funny, I just bought the im600 today, and it still had the slip in it for the BB2001. I would like to buy a subwoofer for it though, so let me know :) That goes for anybody reading this, too!

I can't give you a comparison of them. I can tell you the S1000 is an awesom bridge camera. You can have full manual control or just use auto. The zoom is great both optical and digital. I highly recommend the S1000. Other revues I've read say shooting video you can hear the lens motor when zooming and ths is true. However you can remove the sound when editing the project.

Input lag is better with sony with 19.7ms . Samasung f8000 is slower with 46.8. I imagine this is not noticeable to the average user, but for gamers, sport watcher sony is better.

Thank you very much, ALT, I really appreciate your feedback. Yesterday I ordered the Fuji S1000fd instead. For $231 the 10MP and 12X optical zoom was just unbeatable. Now I've got to find out if I can use filters on it, too. Thank you!

Hi mateI had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

Brad - I don't think you can go wrong with either camera. Add to for your consideration the Sony HX5 - it's on a par with these two.I looked long and hard at all 3 of these, researching specs and comments, as well as trying them out in camera stores, etc. I finally chose the S8100, although only coming out in September the amount of reviews is sparse - but even compared to the S8000 earlier model the improved S8100 proves to be a great camera. One thing I really like is the heft and feel of the camera, as well as the professional and high quality look and detail of the camera. It's a joy to take photos with this camera. The photos from it are stunning. Brad - I don't think you can go wrong with either camera.
