Help me choose.... What's the main difference between these and the HD428 model?

I own a pair of 448 and my brother owns a 428. I don't think the difference is 'too' noticable. 448's sound is more well rounded where as 428's sound is more bass heavy. You will also notice that 428's wire is thinner. Though I dislike the cushioning for both as it is too hot.

For those who have the 701 already but are thinging about 702. I'd say don't bother. Not an upgrade, at best your moving laterally. Save up a bit longer make a jump to something lme the Audeze lcd 2. That's a very nice upgrade. Save longer jump to lcd 3 now that's not big its huge. But now your looking at Sennheiser hd 800 territory. Nw were talking true audio bliss.

Mousa, I'm looking at the same thing, and here's what I've found from checking out Onkyo's website. They have all the current models listed with specs, features, pics, and links to authorized vendors (Amazon included). I also recommend cnet's website for third party and customer reviews. http://www.us.onkyo.com/prod_class.cfm?class=Systems Here's a summary of what I found there: The 5300 gets stepped up to the 6300 with up-conversion on the analog inputs plus powered zone 2 (which allows for same or separate audio to be output on two channels to another location), then the 7300 adds some minor speaker upgrades with tallboy front speakers & bass reflex. For $200 more (MSRP), the 9300 gives you THX certification, upgraded optional on-screen interface, a larger subwoofer (12" ^ from 10"), and an extra Composite input, but no longer includes the optional IR iPod dock. I'm leaning toward the 7300 since the cost vs. the 6300 is minimal and the 5300 doesn't up-scale, but haven't made the purchase yet. My local fry's has them in stock and will price match so I plan on trying them out there first.

Matt, in my opinion you can't go wrong with either one but from what I have read, the 7008 is a step above the Denon. Here is a link to a review I read: http://www.audioholics.com/av-receiver-reviews/marantz-sr5008-sr6008-sr7008 I have not installed a new 7008 so I cannot give you an opinion based on personal experience... Hope this helps. Brad

You'll have to try the HP DM4-1100. I guess the HP Envy is even better.I have the NuForce uDAC-2 now, and it is also just barely better than the HP DM4. For loud volume, the DAC is cleaner, for sure, but overall it is incredibly comparable.

Hi there! I'm not a tech expert, but I don't think there's a difference. I re-listed it under the same listing that it was purchased for me. It was purchased for me as a gift, and I already had headphones. Sorry I can't help more

As an audio engineer, I can personally tell the difference between the two models. However, to the untrained ear of a casual listener it will be very difficult to notice any difference. This will also differ from person to person as every set of ears and every human brain are just a little bit different. Therefore not every human being is capable of hearing all of the frequencies being omitted from the speakers. That being said, the difference between models is their frequency range. Ask yourself these questions before making a decision : 1) Do you commonly notice a difference in the overall sound quality when listening to music on different speakers? 2) Does your listening pleasure diminish when you notice these differences? 3) Are you the kind of person that doesn't mind spending a little more money if you know that you will be getting a better quality product? If you answered yes to these questions, then I would recommend doing as I did and purchasing the 800 model. BTW, if you're "all about that bass" the 800 will also be more appealing as the main difference is the low end frequencies as they always improve with size. I hope this was helpful! Matt. W.

I'd buy the HT-S5300. It is still within your price, and is worth the premium over the 3300

Hi CSC. I have the same question, I am about to upgrade to a DH70 from an H31. Did you ever get a reply on the comparison? Or did you buy the HD70 and found out yourself?

I owned both. Bought the MB42X first, then returned them and got the Clubs. The MB42X sounded like something was missing in the mids. It sounded hollow. The Clubs have a fuller sound and I much prefer them to the MB42X !! Sound is a preference so to each their own. I tried adjusting bass and treble with both and the Clubs with no adjustment really sound the best. I'm not a big fan of the Lepai amp, it's only good for half volume so get the Topping amp even though it's more expensive.

It depends on whay you want. If you can try both of them somewhere do that. They are both quality headphones. I own a pair of HD8 and they are great when it comes to separating different sounds and instruments clearly. If you are looking into something with plenty of bass response or some other type o sound tendency these are not for u.

I'd buy directly from Amazon. There are a lot of HD 598 fakes out there, and your chance of getting a fake increases greatly if buying from an unknown third party seller. (Note there are a few trusted third party sellers like Adorama.) I wonder if a lot of the poor reviews here of the 598s are from buyers who unknowingly got fakes.

All of these are Great answers but it should be noted that the hd 380's sound much more closed in rather than spacious. Also closed headphones not only help to keep sound from going from outside to inside the ears but it also helps to prevent other people from hearing your headphones

3602 is good but definitely 3908. I own both first having the 3602 then upgrading to the 3908 and they both were the money! Great sound range on the 3908 and it can get really loud

I have never done a side by side comparison of the two but based on the specifications of each model it's safe to say that the differences would be noticeable. The 225i's are, in my opinion, the single best headphone you can purchase without having to purchase a headphone amplifier. They have a bit more bass than the 225i's yet retain the mid/high soundstage that is so typical of Grado. The upgrade will be in vocals and bass.Basically, I absolutely think it's worth the extra coinage to purchase the 225i's.

I have a Amperior but I don't have a Momentum&#65292;but a lot of headphones lovers say that the Amperior has a better quality than the other one&#65292;some say the Momentum has little bass and by the way actually the Amperior is a new vision of the very classic HD25&#65292;it has been producing for more than 20years already&#12290;I think you should go for Amperior though...if you wanna know more you can Email me at~58238323@QQ.com

The only significant differences are lumens(brightness) and power consumption.HD25 = 2000 ANSI lumens ; HD25e = 2800 ANSI lumens.HD25 = Max 339W (Normal), Min 241W (Eco+), <0.5W (standby-ECO) ; HD25e = Max 262W (Normal), Min 191W (Eco), <0.5W (standby-ECO).You're better off with the HD25e as it is brighter and uses less power. Also, the HD25e does not come with a lens cap like the HD25 does, but this seems pretty trivial to me.
