Audio-Technica ATH-M50

$129.00 Est. at Amazon

from oyster07, www.shopping.com
the bottom line: highly recommended if you want a well built headset with maximum isolation and outstanding detail and clarity at a reasonable price.
from www.amazon.com
the musical range is simply fantastic, as you can really focus in on the music and discern all the qualities and instruments.
from www.amazon.com
mids 5/5 - like 2 miniaturized, mid-range drivers for your dome piece.
from www.amazon.com
when i first tried them they were not very exciting-sounding, giving the impression of a rather weak, colorless midrange and grainy upper range.
from www.amazon.com
one aspect that i like is their wide range of motion.

Audio-Technica ATH-A700 Consumer

$170.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.beachaudio.com
another pair has higher wattage, but at a cost of frequency range.
from The Rogue, www.newegg.com
what used to be high volume and clarity on the bose was no comparison to these and i had to crank it down with these puppies.
from Imsaffor, www.newegg.com
i played all the range i could from high highs to lowest lows, it never pushed these headphones.
from www.amazon.com
range...but enough to scramble your brains at high volume!
from www.amazon.com

Cables Unlimited Wireless Stereo

$42.00 Est. at Amazon

from bvrev.compusa.com
the only signal situation i became aware of was that of the next door neighbor who thought that i should be listening to the 'ball' game instead of 'oddball' science and animal channels.
from bvrev.compusa.com
no problems with anything but range, says up to 165' but seemed to cut out much sooner than that.
from bvrev.compusa.com
not audiophile sound by any stretch and decent enough reception.
from www.amazon.com
great range as i can walk into the kitchen several rooms away from my bedroom with the headphones on and still listen to my show.
from www.amazon.com
i recommend them for tv, movies (if you are not too compulsive about dynamic range) and definitely voice, which is the best.

Sennheiser CX 500-B Consumer

Check Site at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
they sound great, comfortable, but i didn't get a lot more range.
from www.amazon.com
it does not get in the way and you can not adjust the volume on accident or by bumping it you really have to move it also it has a nice fade and there is no static.
from www.amazon.com
still, i wanted good clarity and balanced sound reproduction, as well as comfort for extended wear.
from www.amazon.com
good bass and noise cancellation but the treble was not as clear and could have static at times on certain songs.
from www.amazon.com
in terms of comparing audio quality between the two, the sony had more an angled insert into the ear that appeared to offer a signal directly into the ear canal.

sensitivity switch, like the bose), thus you should buy also a koss vc20 volume control - you'll need it if you want to listen to the airline audio/video, because most planes put out too much signal.
from www.amazon.com
but be advised, it seems at least part of the noise-cancelling technology involves simply boosting the signal.
from www.amazon.com
the noise canceling may not be as advertised 85% but it does an excellent job - boosting the audio signal from your ipod so that you can actually hear better.
from www.amazon.com
headphones, sony noise cancelling headphones and i didn't stop there...just for the fun of it, i compared their clarity with 200watt per channel x 2 high current 4 ohm 5'4" tall speakers too!
from www.amazon.com
now i can run the volume down to 7 or 8 and still hear amazingly well (even music with a high dynamic range).

Klipsch IMAGE Noise Isolating Earphone Professional Headphones

$312.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
new ones because all high end, low end "in ear" earbud headphones hurt my inner ear because you must jam them in your ears to proper music range which 10 minutes of them....my ear can't take that.
from www.amazon.com
that said, it's definitely worth tweaking the eq settings of your music player for that perfect clarity of sound.
from www.amazon.com
although the x10 at first seemed more reserved and maybe even a little thin, i came to appreciate its subtleties and found that it retained more clarity and balance at higher volumes.
from www.amazon.com
i've mainly been using lower mid-range panasonic and toshiba earphones.
from www.amazon.com
stock ipod earphones and even "upgrade" headphones will pale in comparison to the sound quality and clarity of the image x-10's.

Audio-Technica ATH-AD700 Professional

$165.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
the highs are bright and maybe even shiny and bring out the "wow" effect in any song using high hats or cymbals or anything else in the frequency range.
from www.amazon.com
they are incredibly crisp and clear, leaning a bit more in the mid- and high-ranges, less in the low-range (bass, in particular).
from www.amazon.com
but these headphones add amazing depth and clarity to all my songs.
from www.amazon.com
being an engineer and a sound man, i have always appreciated dynamic range, frequency response, lack of distortion.
from www.amazon.com
i was quite nervous breaking into the medium range to the high quality headphones, i looked at hundreds of headphones, and finally settled on these 700s over the sennheiser hd 2xx and 5xx series,

good volume, good range.
from cb727@comcast.net from Collierville, TN, clickfrom.buy.com
clarity of high and low fequecies in all ranges of music, hard rock to classic they all sound outstanding.
from Freddie from Louisiana, clickfrom.buy.com
i've tried lots of earphones and this is the best i have heard in the under $50 range.
from Bruce from Sarasota FL, clickfrom.buy.com
to my ears, they have good bass and decent highs (with my iphone treble boost turned on), but they lack crispness in the mid-ranges as the sound seems a little muffled.
from Bob from Linden, VA, clickfrom.buy.com
the bass is deep and rich and the high range is crystal clear.

Denon AH-NC732K Active Noise Cancelling

$187.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
however, no system is completely effective and i do not think it is worth paying for noise-cancelling phones costing more than the price of the mid-range represented by this denon headphone.
from www.amazon.com
headphone feel sturdy; sound quality is good (bass if slightly weak, but otherwise good range and clarity); noise canceling feature is excellent.
from www.amazon.com
if you are looking for good sound quality in many ranges, from soothing classical music to pumping rock and metal, these are it.
from www.amazon.com
i do indeed hear my music with more clarity and richness.

Denon AH-D5000

from www.amazon.com
again, all mechanical reproduction involves signal loss.
from www.amazon.com
the clarity of the sound is amazing -- you can things on the recording that you would miss in a room with other background noise.
from www.amazon.com
i have been listening to these headphones for approximately 5 days now, attempting to leave as much signal in them overnight as possible.
from www.amazon.com
out of the box, just plugged into my macbook pro, listening to classical music, the clarity of these headphones is obvious and impressive.

Creative HS 900

from www.newegg.com
whenever the volume control wheel is rotated, or even bumped or moved for that matter, it causes a static sound in the left channel.
from www.newegg.com
the ""noise cancellation"" doesn't work but rather creates static (at least mine has).
from www.newegg.com
the microphone clarity on this allowed me immediate compliments from several people over skype, ventrilo, and teamspeak.
from SoL1D, www.newegg.com
mic clarity could be better.
from www.newegg.com
pros: awesome quality and clarity in sound and microphone.

Philips SHS5200 Reflective Neckband

$20.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.amazon.com
very crisp and clear, unmuffled sound, and perfect bass response - just enough to where you hear what you're intended to in the low-range, but not enough bass that it becomes distorted, which is a
from www.amazon.com
they can get loud and still sound great with no static sound or noise.
from www.amazon.com
now you're not going to get the clarity of an expensive pair costing over $200 but these work fine for me.
from www.amazon.com
combine this with a regular steel plug, and you'll have a ton of static every time you don't stay still.
from www.amazon.com
because the philips cover the ears more completely, they deliver more low-range sound, but neither of us liked the philips sound.

Audio-Technica ATH-ES7

$143.00 Est. at Amazon

from Bob from New York, clickfrom.buy.com
these are a great value in comparison to any headphone on the market and possibly the best closed back headphone available within a $100-$200 range.
from riptus from wisc, www.circuitcity.com
when i first got these headphones i was amazed by the sound clarity, from the moment i put them on i could notice a difference in the quality of the music that i had never heard before.
from www.amazon.com
for someone who likes to listen to experimental and classical music in addition to more raucous music, the clarity and depth are about a million times greater than with the ol' ear buds.
from www.amazon.com
a positive is that the headphones perform very well for a wide range of genres and is not genrecentric like say the $350 dr.

i think it beats the vibe in clarity.
from www.amazon.com
denon ah-c551 is a iem of bottom mid range, where u can get it at a entry iem pricing.
from www.amazon.com
music sounds really good and good range of volume.
from www.amazon.com
the bass is solid without being overpowering; they sound-isolate well without any need for active sound-isolating technology, and the high and mid-range sound incredible.
from www.amazon.com
they are comfortable, block out noise, and have wide frequency range that is fairly flat across the whole range.

these have a great frequency response range.
from JMorris from Parkersburg, WV, www.circuitcity.com
they stay well mannered across a wide range of music and volume.
from Stever from Lancaster, PA, www.circuitcity.com
way more depth, clarity, and ambiance - at low, mid, and high end.
from www.amazon.com
i've tried a lot of earbuds, across a wide range of prices, and these are definitely the best value.
from www.amazon.com
some of us listen to music that relies heavily on instruments whose sound occupies the mid and high range of the scale.

Sennheiser Pxc 450 Headphone Circumaural Headphones

$333.00 Est. at Amazon

from www.crutchfield.com
the range of frequencies that are cancelled are really geared towards a low thundering noise that occurs on the airplane.
from www.amazon.com
the bass is very good whilst subtleties in the vocal range, especially the clatity of back-up singers, is especially good.
from www.amazon.com
the scratchy am signal never sounded better.
from www.amazon.com
upper and lower frequency extremities tapered off gradually and gracefully and i could not possibly describe the device of brightening any of the freqency ranges.
from www.amazon.com
sensitive sounds that are often lost in lesser quality reproduction (mid range oboes, and background vocals are good examples) spring to vibrant life.
