any comparison with fidelio x1. I have problem with x1's treble, clarity also too much bass which is not accurate (with FIIO E17).

From trying both out, MA900 has less bass, but still punchy when needed. I'm not a fan of heavy bass and found MA900 bass more to my likings. MA900 doesn't stand out in terms of treble, but it's there and gets the job done. I can listen to MA900 for hours if I wanted to. I'd say X1 is great too, in terms of performance, I'd say both are about neck and neck with different sound signature. If you want less bass with mellow treble, I'd go with the MA900 for sure. More comfy too, in my opinion.

I've listened to music all day for an entire week without problems. The bass isn't nearly as heavy as some people make it out to be. In fact, I even prefer upping the bass with the bass boost option on the FiiO E10K Olympus 2. The treble isn't harsh either -- I found that upping the 8 KHz frequency by an amplitude of 2 is a good idea, while the rest is just fine.

The base on their other system (5.1) seems stronger but sometimes drowns out the speaking parts. The lifestyle system is calibrated better so all sound is much better between the bass and treble parts. There is still plenty of base and you can change it on the menu if you want more.

These headphones sound more like a fine tuned night club. The bass is present, lush, tight, and gorgeous. An amp will only help, but isn't necessary. If there's no bass in the song, you won't hear any. If you want that "bass in your face" feeling, I'd recommend the XB500, which is far cheaper. It will make any song sound bassy, and sounds more like 2 15" juggernaut subwoofers rattling in your car. Not nearly as clean. Personally, I enjoy the XB1000's, but pick whatever one sounds like you'd be into.

Dear Rick, this will be far worse than V-moda. Fidelio is an open-back headphone. It gives all the sound in your ear and out while letting almost all outer noise in. Which means you'll hear the noise more than normal headphones and the ones in the room will easily hear what you're playing, even in the middle volume. If you didn't like v-moda, you should look for first, closed-back (v-moda is closed back but not well enough) then you should look for noise cancelling. There's a technology called active noice cancelling, some headphones like Bose qc15 has, it produces an audiowave countering the background noise and blocking all, even when you're not playing any music inside the headphone, just open the noice cancelling and it almost cuts off everything, perfect for planes, trains etc. Bose is considered as the best in active noice cancelling but there are others too.

I only tried these not the x1x but if the x1x have any bass levels at all, they have won in that category. The 101b had none. Just very loud highs, noticeably higher than the original iphone set I've been using. Go to sears try 101b then return them if u want.

Hi mate I had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

I cannot make a comparison, but The HK sound is superb with plenty of bass. With volume cranked up there is no noticeable distortion, again, plenty of bass but sound is well balanced (so bass is not exaggerated, which you may want...).

Pro's have different drivers than the X2. Basically, Pro's should sound better...should being the key word.

Hi Ana, I have them both and the XL7s have the richer sound in my opinion. The XLBP have great sound, I use 2 pairs for my side surround and rear surrounds. They sound great together with an equal tonal balance. Hope that helps. Charlie

After you own it for a few months you will wish you paid one hundred bucks for it, loads of bass & bling but where is the treble. Trance & Dance sounds great but if you play Classical or Country it sounds flat so do most games & movies but its got bass, I can get the cops called with the thump this thang has got but I like to watch movies too, Explosions will rattle the walls but you can't hear what the actors say without turning it up during speaking & down for explosions so you don't shatter your windows. I regret buying mine almost a year ago.

I was the one that posted the comparison of sound between the 400 and the 210. The 210 is easily superior in sound. I am quite surprised no one else has brought this up. Doesn't anyone care about good stereo sound quality through their ear plugs?

Have not tried the other 2, but I will say Shure makes really quality stuff. I used to think Sennheiser was on top of everything but they moved so much of there production outside of Europe, it has not been as good. Wish I could help you out further.

I actually experienced something totally different. The bass on my pair of v modas is not so good but the high and mids are pretty good. But maybe that's just my comparison to other headphones I've had before.

If you're on Windows 8/8.1 good luck! They don't have signed drivers and their promise of releasing them months ago has gone no where. I returned this great unit in favor of the fiio x5. If on Windows 8, you can try the workaround by starting windows 'ignoring driver signatures', but it's flaky doesn't stick, may crash your PC...and if it 'does' work...you only get 16 bit / 44k sample rate (same as CD quality). Too bad for such a great device :(

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.
