Looking for the next step up in sound quality from MDR-XD200 I've used and loved the MDR-XD200 headphones for years now, and am looking to possibly upgrade to better sounding headphones, but not at a cost to comfort. Can anyone recommend some headphones that fit this criteria? I'm not into noise canceling at all, so that is not part of my decision making process here. I am willing to spend up to $100.

Actually I agree with the above poster. The MDR-ZX600 are a great step up in terms of richer sound, more clarity, and nicer bass, mids, and highs. They also have much better isolation. I previously posted that the sony mdr 7506's would be a good step up, but I must retract this comment as after months of use they are just too trebly and bright. They become extremely fatiguing within 20 minutes or so, whereas the mdr-zx600's are perfectly balanced and overall a fantastic choice.Thanks...

I would choose the MDR xb90ex because I have tested the HBA- h1 but returned them like I think it was 2 or 3 days after because with the hbA h1 I found a lack of bass there not bad headphones. It all just depends on what style of music you listen too.

I bought a pair of Sony headphones after I purchased the stereo and they work great! My husband is watching TV and I'm listening to Christmas music. The model # to headphones that sound really good is...MDR-ZX300 from Amazon.

I think you get what you pay for. I own a pair of Bose Quietcomfort 15 ($300) and use them for work travel. They sound great and are really comfortable for prolonged periods of time. Much better than the Beats Executive model (also $300). Bought my wife the Sony Noise Canceling Headphones ($150) from Costco and she really likes them but doesn't wear them for long. My kids actually have the Sony MDRZX300 and they sound pretty good. Once you adjust them properly, I think they feel fine. Sorry for the long winded response.

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.

Well if you aren't a big audiophile and don't now much the brand v-moda, the LP are a great place to start. You wont be disappointed even though you chose not to invest 150 more dollars on the m100. Believe me when i say that the LP produce better sound then most of Dr. dre beats headphones and for a fraction of the price. I broken many headphones in three months or less and these headphones are durable and dont feel flimsy and cheap like the beats. :D You wont regret the price you paid for LP which give you fantastic sound and durability. Best part, you get to sound out from the crowd (v^-^)/ Hope this helps Well if you aren't a big audiophile and don't now much the brand v-moda, the LP are a great place to start.

depends on the genre. I mostly listen to hiphop and R&B; and not at home (on the subway or when walking outdoors) so these factors definitely affect the sound, but remember I tried them once at home and they did not show much details. I got them on sale for $60 and seriously they're not worth more.

Hi Dave. The exxtra headset no. is MDR-RF7500. I bought them from "Japan Quality 886". Good service, quick delivery (3-4 days) and best of all they put a very low price on the shipping note which minimizes import taxes. If you enter MDR-RF7500 in the search box at Amazon.com you will see them with ordering details. This system is easily the best I have ever heard, especially with the high definition formats, Dolby HD Master etc. The sound is crystal clear for dialogue and the surround effects are subtle but real. They sound quieter than other devices, but this is because they have very low distortion and excellent D/A converters. Hope this helps you and good luck. Hi Dave.

The bass quality for these, and I am not sure if it is just a Sennheiser thing, but are better than most other headphone brands that I've used. I probably spent hundreds of dollars on headphones for working out/running and these sound better, to name a few, than the Apple earbuds and the few different Sony headphones that I've bought. The bass is very good for active style headphones in this price range.

I am looking for that same information. I live in a country town and the only place that had them was the K-Mart for $10 and I would buy them when they had them, but they don't carry them anymore. My mother and I both love these headphones and have used them for over 8 years. I like it because they fit just right in the ears and no one can really hear your music when it is up at a good volume.

I have been using a pair of these headphones for several years. They continue to work great, but the cushions are beginning to peal off of the earpieces. I did not think of looking for replacements for the cushions to replace them. Instead I bought a new set of headphones. But I would like to try to repair the old ones to save some cash for next time. Will you share where you purchased the replacement cushions? I have used my headphones with several different mp3 players but none of them were ipods.

I recently flew to Europe last week, own a pair of those & a Sony MDR7506. I was comparing them; that JVC amazed me. It blocked 90%+ of cabin noises', jet sound included. It's not something that you will feel immediately, it's kind of progressive, then nothing. Feels comfortable& the sound quality is awesome.

Thats it. It's a problem with this headphone because otherwise they sound great. Check out the Sony MDR-1RBT, it's way better overall.

Absolutely not. An excellent set of headphones, still has the $300 price tag on the back of the box. They made these for a couple of years then, like everything else, they moved on to the next model, discontinuing these. Now, everyone is selling them at a discounted price to move old stock. At this price, I honestly don't believe you can find a better set. I'd be happy with them if I had paid full price.Edit: After reading these other answers, I felt compelled to say that these DID sell for $300 originally, do some research. The guys on Head Fi were talking about these when they first came out, and were saying they had paid the $300. Absolutely not.
