Is good the quality of sound? I'm between these and the Plantronics BackBeat Go2

The sound quality is good depending on your blue tooth connectivity mine is on a Samsung galaxy 3 phone and it is good. What isn't great is sound volume. I consider the sound volume somewhat weak. Overall they are good. .. not great.

I only have experience with the around the ear phones. I personally like them because they are more comfortable on my ears. They don't keep out the noise level as much as my cheaper ear buds, which surprised me. I do love the sound quality of the Bose headset. It is basically a preference for me because of the comfort level on my ears.

they are quite good but I recommend the panasonic ones, Panasonic RPHJE120K In-Ear Headphone, Black those go really low and deep

Hello Leo, Pardon for my late response. I don't have Powerbeats2, but I must say that this BackBeat Fit is pretty good. But the only thing that kind of bother me about this, is the eartips (ear buds). This is only one size, after a 10 minutes of wearing, my left ear felt sore. I wish Plantronics would ship smaller eartips. I've tried adjusting it, it felt ok afterwards. When running, it felt light, and sounds great. During my short, 10k or 15k runs, I didn't feel the soreness from wearing it. So all in all, this is a good product, but Plantronics can improve the ear tips fit. Hope this helps. = ) Hello Leo, Pardon for my late response. I don't have Powerbeats2, but I must say that this BackBeat Fit is pretty good.

If all you want is the highest quality regardless of price, Bose is usually the way to go. That said, these are very good in their own right and when you factor in the price difference you'll probably soon not really notice the difference unless you are constantly switching between the two. I bought these as a gift for my father who had these second to the Bose on his wish list due to the spec sheet (better high freq. suppression in Bose) - until I pointed out to him that according to his doctor's hearing tests for the past decade neither he nor his hearing aid are able to hear/replicate those frequencies - so the quality difference for him really is NOT noticeable. I have never used Beats nor know any who has, but reviews still rate the Bose higher - and for the money that the Beats cost - I'd probably stick with the Bose.

They are really good. The bass isn't naturally amplified, if you mess with the EQ, it responds to that really well. Not too rattly or anything. (from my son who got the headphones for a gift and knows way more about this stuff than I do.)

I highly suggest these. Logitech G230 Stereo Gaming HeadsetThe TekNmotion ones don't leave enough space for the ears horizontally. The pads are comfortable but small. In the ones I mentioned above the pads are much larger, breath easier and are just as light if not more so. The sound quality is nearly the same. The TekNmotion ones have slightly more bass but not enough to matter in the long run.

they will do fine but honestly i would buy almost any other head phone in the world then these. the sound quality is not worth the price the apple ones which actually fit in your ear (both their high end one and their $40 option is a better buy)

Hey Joel, I would give these a 9. The sound is really good and accurate, specially when playing battlefield or The Last of Us. You can hear all the sounds and the direction they are coming from and you also get really good battery life. The setup is really easy also. Check out my review you can see how the setup is. Hope I helped.

It really depends on how big of an audiophile you are. I'm not too big but I enjoy these. There could be more bass but I think they're with it still. If you're playing multiplayer and want that competitive edge, don't look here. Single player however, I think these work fine. If you ant that edge, I'd go for an gaming headset, probably gonna cost you over $150 at least for surround sound and not one of those "Amplified Stereo Sound" ones. These are pretty functional, simple, and easy to use.

Never used the Jaybirds, but the one advantage they have over the Backbeat GO 2's is nearly twice the battery life (up to 8 hours vs 4.5). Since I love the fit, functionality, and sound of the BBG2's, battery life is the only downside...but not enough to make me regret my purchase. If I could do it all over, I wouldn't change a thing.

I disagree completely with all the comments above.I think people have a wrong perception of headphones quality. I am a basshead myself. The Q701 are perfect to restitute ANY frequency! I love listening to Kendrick Lamar for instance with them and the infra bass are making my head vibrate... But you will need an amp, that's all.

I don't have Beats so I did not have chance to compare, but I absolutely love this headset - it has battery life which lasts me through week plus of intermittent listening (1-2 hours a day on average), bass is pretty great, overall clarity of music is much better than I had before, fit comfort is great. They are relatively compact (they are not the small one folding), but they do fit in into my work backpack so now it makes my air trips more comfortable than ever as they provide pretty good noise isolation. Paired it with my macbook, working macbook, Android nexus 5, iPad so it now is very quickly to start listening to music very quickly no matter there I am I don't have Beats so I did not have chance to compare, but I absolutely love this headset - it has battery life which lasts me through week plus of intermittent listening (1-2 hours a day on average), bass is pretty great, overall clarity of music is much better than I had before, fit comfort is great.

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.

I don't own a pair of beats, but I have listened to them at the store. Of course, they only allowed me to listen to their preselected music, so I can't be too objective. As far as the rythm, they sound pretty good, not better. But do not buy the miikey NFC ones because you will be disappointed.

Sms audio is much better. The build quality and the sound quality are worth the price. Beats are not.

I have to disagree entirely with this post. I just got these headphones for Xmas, and while sound quality is great with cancellation on and does stop outside noises well, the sound leakage is quite apparent. I wanted them as something to use at the office but I'm not sure I can now. While I don't know how much of an issue it would be on the plane, I'm pretty sure I would be able to hear whatever is playing for someone using them quite easily. I'm torn about returning them now. They sound great and the price is awesome, but the leakage is definitely an issue to think about. If you cannot deal with leakage I would not get these. I have to disagree entirely with this post.
