What is the difference between this headphone and the one linked below: http://www.amazon.com/Sennheiser-RS12...

They look the same to me but there is a 2 version with 1 being the discontinued/re-manufactured - I don't know which is which. I have the re-man and like them fine except for the fit prob but it is workable.

You are correct! It is the ATH-A500 that is closed-back. Audio Technica's model numbers for these headphones are so similar, I got them mixed up. As far as what major differences there are between the AD500 and the AD500X, there I can't help you much. They are both relatively inexpensive, so I would just buy the one that you can get the best deal on and eventually get the other one and compare them, then sell the one that is less good. I've done this many times myself.

Hi,I just checked the Skullcand site and I didn't see any diference. I think they are the same. You just can't customize it.Hope it helps.

I have used both. Both in Sennheiser Units. I haven't had a problem with either one in the limited time that I've used them. Other than a little bit of gaon adjustment, I can't see the price difference. Especially for the price, the SE 10 works perfectly In most applications.

Two reasons; One, the RS-180 has ALC instead of "Surround". ALC is Auto Level Control. It makes quiet things louder and loud things quieter to even out the volume. Very nice when you have a hearing problem or you want to keep the volume at a minimum for whatever reason. Such as sensitive ears or wearing these headphone in bed next to a sleeping person. Two the 170's don't really have surround. They imitate surround sound by delaying certain sound frequencies and other subtle adjustments. It's called Psychoacoustics, look it up on wikipedia for a good explanation. It's the same thing the Bose Wave Radio does, listen to one next time you're strolling through target. It's a very different sound. Some people, like me, intensely dislike the manipulated sound that comes from psychoacoustics. So the 170s aren't a good fit for people like me. On the other hand lots of people (most?) really love that sound. There is nothing wrong with psychoacoustics, it's a great thing and for most people it's very enjoyable.

you can go to sennheiser website to see which one is the authorize third party seller. I bought mine fro J&R in New York. It was cheaper and more trusted.

My advice is: Don't bother with this product. It is shoddy. There are many more worthwhile options. Check out the Sennheiser RS110 Over-Ear 926MHz Wireless RF Headphones; it is a MUCH better product.

I have the same issue. The noise cancellation on this headphone is substantially inferior to the Sennheiser PXC 250 and the QuietComfort 15--both of which I've owned and used for years. There is virtually no difference in noise reduction between "Normal" and "Bypass" modes, and Talk Through introduces more noise than is present without the phones. I just cannot accept that Sennheiser would create such a poor product; certainly my set must be defective.

I think it may use both, Im still thinking if ill order one but I remember reading about this on the Sennheiser website. Id say give it a look. These are Xone compatible so thats why Im taking interest.

I personally don't think burn in time is a huge factor, but the source will be. If you can try them in a store, then I suppose you can try various models back to back using same source. I did not have that option. For me, this was a huge step up from a pair of Sennheiser HD280 pros. I also like that they are different design than most out there. Had them on a couple long airplane rides now and am happy. Good luck.

Although I am alittle confused how your question is stated here, I will go ahead and elaborate on the sound quality, and the fit size. The sound quality was wonderful and like no other headphones Ive ever had. I wish that the size was alittle tighter. I use the headphone to workout in and run, gets a little frustrating to readjust the headphone. The headphone are cheap, and broke in pieces when it fell out of my hands and onto the concrete floor

I dont know if they have "superior sound quality" but what i do lnow is that they have very different uses. The QC 25 are intended for traveling while the SEN HD8 are for djing. Sennheiser (in their higher range headphones) has way better quality making different instruments and sound in general clearer and easier to identify therefore better to dj with. They are pretry good traveling and listening headphones. They do not have noise canceling but still do a pretty good job at isolating as long as its not VERY noisy. NOW! i would NEVER buy Bose cans...they break, period. bose has great marketing bit their crap breaks. Dont waste your money, go Senn. They are solid and confortable.

The Reference have a different driver. They have a deeper bass and low frequencies. These headphones are more refined for clearer highs, better for movies, books on tape etc.
