How do these without the built in clips compare to the newer (I assume) ones with the built in clips--- from a technical/sound stand point? Thx.

To my ear, the sound between the ones with the clips and without the clips is indistinguishable. They both sound excellent. This is a great product.imho

I use mine without audio source all the time, use them for when I go to shooting range, and they are great for that.

This one has the various sound clips as far as I know. It was a Christmas gift for someone else. I hope this helps

No, these do not include a clip. That being said, I have owned these for about three months and I'm incredibly happy with them.

No, no clipping as far as I can tell. The mic housing itself (under the fuzzy windscreen) is shaped like a tuna can - squeeze it tightly and compress the foam to understand what I am saying. Mine came slightly turned and this caused the noise-cancelling side to hear too much of me, resulting in clipping. I manually rotated the boom tip so that the side mostly toward my lips was now entirely toward my lips. Cleared up caller sound quality complaints - am now told it sounds amazing. Also, reviews comparing this (B250-XT) to the newer model (B250-XT+), this model has shorter tone prompts/notices, compared to the +'s full sentence prompts/notices. Love this headset.

Hmm. That's odd... the old version kind of "floated" behind the neck. I was worried that they would bump into my neck, or that they'd fall down, but they floated very well, and worked like a dream unless I was running on real ground. Maybe you could try a different position? But, if I'm hearing you right, there is no loss of reception (sound cutting in and out) when you're running outdoors and constantly moving? --if so, where did you position your music player?)

Unfortunately, no. I miss those terribly. However, these are comfortable. Not quite as comfortable, but they do not dig into your head like so many other clips. HTH

Extra ear clips are cheap and can be purchased from Amazon or eBay.http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Dmobile&field-keywords;=ear%20clips&sprefix;=ear+clips%2Cmobile&rh;=i%3Amobile%2Ck%3Aear%20clips

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 completely agree w Joe's comments. They are more comfortable than ear buds and the mic works well when clipped on the neck of my shirt. I love not having something stuck in my ear.

Honestly, I have had them short out a couple times. But not bad, I have used them a lot. The sound is fine, clear and not distorted. I've seen other comments that they just quit working after they got them, but other than a couple shorts, mine have been worth the price for sure! :) Hope this helps....

The mic does come with a clip. When we video, we will usually chip it onto something nearby so you don't see the mic in the video. The mic is pretty sensitive, so it will pick up movement noises.

Mic clips are not included. .. any generic wireless mic clips will work with these mics. Search for "wireless microphone clips".

Elisa, they do work without any music playing but you do hear a not more of the surrounding noise. The more expensive models I have tried do a little better job without music. But not considerably better.

These are amazing for running. I use them everyday and have no issues. I am sure some people may need the over the ear clips, which were included in both mine and the wife's but we did not. I have recommended to several people now.

They were built as a luxury set of headphones. The materials in the newer model are not as nice for the sake of making them cheaper. If cost is no issue, these are better, if you car about the $100, then the other set is nearly identical.
