How are these in comparison with the 950's? I'm looking for noise isolation, I saw the 950's in store and it looks like the ear pad is different.

I have no suggestion, but I know that I have no intent on ever purchasing Sony equipment again.

No they don't. I am still currently looking for mod pads but to no avail yet. I can speak out of experience that these are undeniably the best sounding headphones under $100 in my opinion.

I've had mine for maybe 6 months or so and I like them. They are much more comfortable for me for extended listening periods. The stock pads start to get hard and brittle for me. These have stayed comfortable. They do change the sound of your headphones. They are not reflective to higher pitches like the stock ones are, and they don't seal around your ear as well, so pretty much the entire tonal range is affected. The lack of reflection changed the mids and highs for me to a degree - the sound feels slightly "thinner" to me. The fact that they don't seal around your ear as well affects the low bass response. There is noticeably less low bass. It is still good, but definitely different. With the changes in sound, I find that I turn the volume up one notch and turn up the bass one notch over what I did with the old ear pads. So, don't get me wrong, I like these ear pads, and I still like the sound of my headphones, but they do change the sound slightly. It's just something to be aware of. Otherwise, they are definitely more comfortable and have been holding up well for me.

I think they feel like you would expect them to. it's not hollow plastic, so it feels denser, but it is very plasticky. People around you cannot hear what you are listening to. They are "open" in the sense that they aren't noise cancelling as much as one with leather or faux leather are, but they don't allow the speakers to be heard much even if the headset is around your neck.

Thanks Brent...The only big differences I could tell were some of the extras in the packaging and differences in the ear cuff construction.But they seemed to be the same setup otherwise.I went ahead and bought the 428s since, like you mentioned, they were at a price I couldn't pass up.Thanks for the assist!

i just got mine and the sound is on par with my bluebirdx , as a matter of fact im returning those and get me 140 bucks back , these are lighter and i got 7 hours continuous play and a few phone calls with them non stop , i will review them as soon as i get a few charges under my belt and really get them broke in , the bass is a bit strong so i used my eq on my phone to get more treble and they are louder than the bluebird x headset

I think the sound is much better, the controls work good too. I train on my bike and in the gym and sweat a lot, but idk how water resistant they are. If you get some noise canceling tips that fit tight the bass is better though.

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 had the Custom One Pros for a while and I *think* I put these pads on them just to try them and they fit just fine. Doing some Googling for "custom one pro velour earcups" it seems like other people have put the DT770 earcups on the Custom One Pro and they fit. They are all the same dimensions, so you should be good to go.Edit: Heh, looks like I did indeed leave a review saying I put them on the Custom One Pros. I still recommend getting the DT770 pads, since these are meant for the DT990s which are open. These don't seal the bass in enough -- even though the Custom One Pros have more than enough bass at the highest setting. I just think the sound is better with closed pads.

I have two pair and I am using them for everything. Having multiple issues means lots of quiet like gaming! You will have a much longer playing time for they are super flexible and daft while giving great support.

I find the DT 880 the most comfortable cans I own. You should have no problem with uncomfortable earpads.

is the fit of the bud of the Sonxtronic the same as the W08? I can't wear conventional earbuds and the old sonys fit great. Talk about capitalism run amok on these prices. What a dsigrace!

In my humble opinion the noise isolation feature of my V_Moda crossfade's are far superior than the Bose QC series headphones. One of my co-workers has the Bose QC-25's I tried them and he tried mine he agreed with me as well!

They seem to have very good sound isolation. I like to jack the volume up pretty high for action movies when I'm traveling and I've had no problems with the sound bleeding out. FYI great headphone, had them for over a year and they are amazing.

my shure headphones seem to be not very bassy at all... anyone else feel that way? I'm not a bass freak or anything I love highs and mids but the se535's seem to have less bass than my old se215's... Seems a bit strange

As to how they compare against the 589's, the 650's are a bit better - but I honestly don't think the difference is too great.As an aside, the 650's are the best pair of headphones I have ever owned. I have used them for everything from long periods of gaming, to movies and music, and I have never been dissatisfied. Anyways, just my two cents.

I stopped using my Turtle Beach X41 for these. They cover my ears just fine. Even though Turtle Beach has simulated surround sound...I could not notice a significant difference, and actually thought the Xbox Headphones sounded more rich. The Turtle Beach headsets cut in and out frequently and require separate connections and batteries. The Xbox One headset has no batteries of it's own and is powered by the Xbox controllers battery. The wireless connection almost never experiences disconnections. The Xbox One also has no constant backround hissing noise that the Turtle beach headset does. These are a hell of a deal for the price. I stopped using my Turtle Beach X41 for these. They cover my ears just fine.
