it makes a big difference from just more volume it pushes the bass and everything else its good if ask you ask me.I use it with my skullcandy crushers and it works way better than just the headphones alone.I recommend if u like loud music

The CM storm is true surround with multiple speakers per ear cup, the Skullcandy is digital surround, with only speaker per cup so the CM sirus provides better more correct 3d positional sound. I only breifly used the Skullcandy 7.1's at a store as a demo they were comfortable, I dont know how they would be after long gaming sessions or after watching a movie but my initial impression was the sound was good they were comfortable, but damn expensive. Ive owned tons of gaming headsets, Turtle Beach (junk) skullcandy (good) Alienware (ok) Logitech (ok) and the SM sirus blows them all out of the water, the build quality is phenominal the soldering and wiring is top notch, the screws and picot points on the headset are way overengineered to make sure they last, there is metal reinforcing every stress point and after almost a year of use they are as good as new. Most of my headsets especially turtle beach require some sort of fix after 3-6 months then a major fix at about 9 months then at the 1 year mark I have to replace them. I cant speak to the longevity of that particular skullcandy headset but the Skullcandy headset i did own (cant remeber the model number) lasted me about a year, then a speaker gave out and I tried to fix them but the speaker was just toast. I will never buy another set of headphones other that the CM Storm Sirus or equivelant set from CM. They are the most comfortable and best made gaming headphones ive ever used. The only headphones Ive got that sound better ar Bose Proffessional Studio headphones that cost like $600. but they dont have a mic. The CM Sirus Headset at less than $100 is a steal, I would be happy with these headphones if they were just as much as teh Skullcandy 7.1's. I say forget the skullcandy set and get the CM Sirus, or something similar from CM in wireless if thats a big deal for you

I would say that they're better than the Skull Candy Aviators, and just about the same as the Sony MDRs, although the Sennheisers might have slightly better bass and clearer highs. The only downside to the Sennheisers is that they don't isolate at all; you can hear what's going on around you. Super comfortable, though. Highly recommended.

I think so but I like the Skullcandy Hesh (?) headphones now but alas, I've lost sound in one side again. But it took longer. I changed cords and both sides worked again. So far, Skullcandy has been my favorite brand, by far, for my budget.

BOSE has better bass. I would like more bass to my DNA headphones... But def good for its price, really clear sound

Probably the higher one, but difference is negligible. If you want the loudest, most noticeable sound, get both of them.

yea the HD598's are better compared to the skull candy quality-wise. Check this link out http://versus.com/en/sennheiser-hd-598-vs-skullcandy-aviator

I've had both models. Newer version is a better product. Treble & midrange is improved overall & adjustable bass is smoother. A great listening experience. The new Crushers are a big step up from the older Skull crushers

My son just bought the Audio-Technica ATHM50RD, and I give the Audio-Technica the edge sonically. It is more spacious sounding, and I find it to be more detailed. Of course the B&W; is much more beautifully built and looks far superior. But for the sounds and comfort I definitely prefer the Audio-Technica.

Like the other answer stated, complete overhaul in design. Definitely a better sound, though both headphones will have great sound quality.

Much better. You won't be disappointed. There are tons of sound presets to suit your tastes, plus 4 presets that you can fully customize. Even without any enabled the sound quality is still better thanks to the Wolfson DAC in the device.

Have not compared these. Still feel the way the posts insert into the earpiece is weak and prone to break(both sides broke on my daughter's set). We replaced this headphone with the Sennheiser Momentum On-Ear ($230)and the Bang and Olufsen BeoPlay H6 ($399) and have been happy with both. Hope this helps.

On the skull candy I have tried everything but mic. I did not get for mic I got for volume control so I am not having to get iPod out of pocket to change volume. I use it when I am out mowing. I tried a cheaper brand that was not of sound quality I previously had my other ear bud for several years and really liked them due to volume control and sound quality. So when I went cheaper because I am cheap I had to go back to the skull candy.

I have had both and prefer the Audio technica for comfort and noise reduction. The Bose are more streamlined and attractive.

I can't say I know! I see people with both types and have never asked which they prefer. I purchased Sennheiser because of familiarity with the brand. Felt like for the price these are a great value (for my taste!). Good luck!
