[gigasflare]

Awesome Unboxing and previews dude!! keep it up with your video on contributing all this cool accessories product such as Sony! now this makes me feels really wanna buy Sony MDR XB500 :D thanks a lot

-from malaysia

[333asianinvasion]

Does anyone know where I can get these for less than 79.99

[KashgroundTM]

why does the xb700 cost less now?why is the price higher?

[mcuervo24]

where did you get them for $59

[KashgroundTM]

@mcuervo24 internet sells them for 48 bucks.

[iTekIsland]

I can only find them for $80. Are these worth the price?

[osiris3yhn]

@iTekIsland what!? your not looking hard enough. 80 bucks are brand new at my local staples store. ebay has em used but cheaper.

[KingFlowProductions]

@iTekIsland I just bought some for 80, wont pick em up till thursday tho, from the reviews, its deff worth it, any site i go to has great reviews and ppl saying they have dre beats too, and these are better.

[skillcapes5]

I hate these :/

Trade? lol

[LucasSasquatchScott]

BF3 all the way babe!!!! Anyway I wanna get a stupid vanilla card and buy these bitchez! Look perfect for Dub and Skrillex!!!!

[xrahvinx24]

I wish sony would come out with a different version of these with the same driver size and everthing, but with detachable cables, better build quality, a better cary pouch, and so on. Those would be amazing.

[unboxarena]

These or the Bose AE2s?

[MightySandwich79]

@unboxarena these!!! i bought the bose ae2's today and they are worse quality than a walmart brand headset.... the sony has awesome sound quality and perfect bass :)

[classicalman114]

I got mine on sale for $41.00 on Amazon. These are the best headphones I've used so far.

[SkoalTide96]

@classicalman114 do they still have them, can you send me a link

[classicalman114]

@SkoalTide96 Sorry my friend, I just checked Amazon, and the 'phones are no longer on sale. :( Unless you're willing to pay only $39.95 for a pair of XB300s, which are inferior to my knowledge, then it's full price for a pair of 500s ($149.99). Crazy.

[SkoalTide96]

@classicalman114 yeah dont wont the 300s, and damn thats a crazy price!! Oh well I will wait and see if they get more in!

[classicalman114]

@SkoalTide96 ikr? Why such a drastic increase?

[KashgroundTM]

@classicalman114 the xb500s are 49 dollars online.80 bucks at bestbuy.amazon usually has the lowest prices,not this time.

[classicalman114]

@KashgroundTM That's so weird then that some seller on Amazon would be charging $149.00 for them. Why such a dramatic price difference?

[KashgroundTM]

@classicalman114 lol i know right?theya re near the beats by dre price on amazon xDbut its only that high for amazon because they have a few number of them left.everywhere else its like 49-60 bucks.xb300 is actually 24 fuckin bucks hahahahah

[KashgroundTM]

@SkoalTide96 huh?dude they cost 48 bucks.the xb500s.the xb300 cost 24-30 bucks.xb700 is 50-90 bucks.xb1000 is like 120-170 bucks.

[twwarrior333]

question to owners of these headphones, how is the experience when watching a movie or playing a game?

[xPoisonnn]

sold out everywhere :(

[ilikebacon247]

@xPoisonnn i know it's fucking annoying ordered from a store that's back-ordered till march

[t0ferz]

I can't find these anywhere ..so depressing.

[TheNockespodd]

I wonder how much they cost in expencive finland (where unlucky me hawe to live in)

[bklegend718]

Are these noise cancelling?

[Sterling1426]

no offense, but to me $59 is a lot for headphones. I know they get a lot more expensive, but still.

[xrahvinx24]

@Sterling1426 for good headphones, 60 bucks is very cheap, anything less useually tends to be crap that sounds terrible, looks dumb, and breaks in a week

[Sterling1426]

@xrahvinx24 Yeah, I know but I don't have the cash to drop $60 on headphones. Even if I did, I'd probably just get a game.

[MrMaxi2255]

Thumbs up !

Better than beats. :)

[MsBigshot123]

Is the sound quality from these better than the beats by dre or same ? pls answer

[takki68]

@MsBigshot123 Believe me man, at least equal if not better that Dr Dre's excessivly and scandalously expensive headphones !!!

[KashgroundTM]

@MsBigshot123 i bought both.the little xb sound exactly like beats.the xb500 and xb100 and xb700 sound better.and arent made with flimsy shit

[A094H2]

@skyjacker100 The 300s sound horrible, exactly like Beats Solos HDs. These sound like the Beats Studios, only with bigger bass.

[A094H2]

@Gabe7021 Ignore those other comments. These sound as good as the Beats Studios. I know because I tested them side by side at Best Buy. They both have the same amount of clarity in the mids and highs. Ironically, these Sonys have much more bass. The only thing you're paying for in Beats are the brand. However, they both leak sound, which is a downside. These do not leak as much as the Studios, which are literally mini speakers at 75% volume on an iPhone.

[fivecentbackMW3]

Where did u get them???

[cradleoflinkinpark]

@fivecentbackMW3 Best buy.

[Gabe7021]

Is the sound quality from these better than the beats by dre??

[mhbs3]

@Gabe7021 no

[SilvertonRabbit]

@Gabe7021

No, but it definitely competes with $200 headphones + a equalizer app could possible be as good as Beats by Dre

[skyjacker100]

Can anybody help me decide to get these or not. I want headphone that have good sound quality but arnt to expensive because I want to take them to school. These seem perfect but they seem big should I get the 30mm versio? But the 30mm look like on the ear and I don't like that type. Does anybody know any other headphone that like the ones I want? They have to good noise canillation though. Thank you too anybody that helps me.

[KashgroundTM]

nevermind they lowered price

[KashgroundTM]

but exactly how the fuck are thy selling the headphones on amazon that fucking cheap?

[TheAsyrafbadrul]

@KashgroundTM dude.it doesnt cost 5000bucks.mine i order from sony website.and they ship it to my house the next few weeks.and it cost 60 bucks without shipping price.for the fuck sack.its not 5000 bucks.

[KashgroundTM]

@TheAsyrafbadrul i prett much established that 17 hours ago.I literally came to that conclusion 17 hour before you said that.

[R4ndom100]

are they better than beats pro

[HippoShag123]

@R4ndom100 no i have both they aren't but they are more conformable

[TheAsyrafbadrul]

the cable is not detachebale but when the cable is broken you can unscrew it and get a new one.

[TheAsyrafbadrul]

i love these headphones.the best for home use and while recording

[TheAsyrafbadrul]

i love sony.sony when they use a good material they sale it for that exact price.beats uses plastic materials and put the name dr dre on them and sell it for 400dollars.fuck beats

[KashgroundTM]

@TheAsyrafbadrul xb500 sound better because they are actually worth 5000 dollars.and the xb700 are like 7000 dollars on sony website i think

[TheAsyrafbadrul]

@KashgroundTM um...xb500 coz 5000 dollar??dude i got one and it cost 60 dollar.

[KashgroundTM]

@TheAsyrafbadrul on amazon these are like 60.on sony website they actually 5000 bucks.NO WONDER THEY SOUND BETTER THAN BEATS

[aaaaaamad1]

@KashgroundTM what do u mean by 5000 bucks? I bought them from Amazon for 38 Euro.

[KashgroundTM]

@aaaaaamad1 it mustve been in a different money format.checked the website again and the xb700 is like in the range of 100-200 bucks

[TheVeefazz]

I got these, and any music genre sounds great. Alternative and bass drops sound sexy on these. <3

[coolseanpark]

where do you get them in canada?

[Randomperson959]

Thanks :)

[thecarterman123]

It's a headphone review but you don't really talk about the sound quality...

[Chileftw]

@thecarterman123 says overview

[Lilswaggflu24]

did he say shit load or ship load 0:13 lol

[Precisionz24]

@BenTangONLINE dude even the XB 300s are way better than beats, so 500s must be pro, i got the 700s but heard 500s are better :)

[ThEChOiBoYz]

you sure it 59 bucks

im in edmonton alberta and its 89

[TheLzh]

== $59 it's like $199 here in singapore

[DjYoungSkeff]

TWO PILLOWS ON YOUR HEAD!!

[kingfighterfive]

Just picked up a par SUPER committable, and base is out of this world if you like dubstep and base heavy songs its a must get, I have used beats in the past and they have better sound quietly but not nearly as much base, over all great buy and would recommend to any.

[BenTangONLINE]

Is the quality of these headphones really good? can someone please give me a comparison to a Dr Dre Headphone

[litleeagle2011]

Watching the vid with my MDR XB 500 on lol

[JoNnYShizzle]

@litleeagle2011 Haha same here buddy!

[GTRv96]

Listening to this with my MDR XB500's right now :)

[sexchiller45]

@GTRv96 lol why u watching an unboxing when u already unbox it inn real

[GTRv96]

@sexchiller45 haha good question, i dont know why but it just feels good to know i have something lol

[FRANKIBOY27]

They have a 40mm speaker in ,not a 50 mm one

[baracho2]

The closed ones do not leak as much sound as the open ones.

[c0rrupt3dlyfe]

@unboxtherapy how do these compare to the beats?

[ThePumpkinthecat]

Thanks for the unboxing,I was worried that my cat wold chew on the cable but now I know that there is a bag for it!

[MrMikeDavenport1]

i want these so bad

[detonator077]

sennheiser hd 205 II or these?

[EdgarE5S]

these or beats by dr. dre?

[EddJS3]

@EdgarE5S I've tried them side by side... I personally think these are the same, if not better than Beats for sound quality, and obviously more comfortable. But if you want the style and image of Beats, then go for those.

[TheDomgoo]

@EdgarE5S you would make a huge saving with these plus i really cant tell the difference between the 2 plus these are so comfortable compared to any headphones and the bass is excellent....but its your choice thats just my advise

[SandBandjuggler]

watching this with the XB500 on!

didnt know it before i saw the video lol...

[GOcgyFLAMESgo]

Lou, where did you get them for $59? i can't find them at best buy or future shop

[TheBappul]

I'm buying these. It's a must now after seeing this video lol

[mrfrodosky]

how do these compare to beats?

[67stang721]

These or skullcandy hesh?

[CoDMw2Official]

@67stang721 skullcandy is just garb

[Bugside]

My friend has a set of Sony headphones with this kind of cushioning , they might sound good, but they look SOOOO ridiculously big in the head, and not cool "DJ"/"HipHop" big, but huge EARMUFFS big, like hilariously big.

[SuperCurryboi]

I know you probably won't erad this comment, but I wanna know if I can have your Detox Headphones. They aren't your favourite at the time so give them to me and make me happy.

<3 All bromance.

[bobakillu]

hey lou did you buy these on sale i just went to the bestbuy website and thier 80 bucks!

[ajpinoyhiphop73]

Are they noice cancelling?

[CRAZYVIDEOSAmmartv]

GOT THESE FOR 49....WIN :D

[Final0RDER]

I got these for $80 from Sony's site

[moto815]

i tried this headphones at bust buy 2day..2 things that i don't like..

1.the cups are kinda big

2.there's 2 cables under the headphones i wish they made it 1 cable instead of 2.

at best buy this headphones are $149.99..

can this headphones flat down liked the bose?

[cocoy2591]

if u can't afford beats by dre, this is the headphone that is very close to that overpriced headphones... if u want your ear to explode with bass this is the headphone.... !!! BOOOOOM! BOOOOOM!!! BOOOOOMMM!!!!

[ch4nb0y]

My friends selling me used beats by dre solos for 50$ but after seeing reviews about the solos idk if i should get them or the sony xb500s. What do you guys think?

[Cswag96]

@ch4nb0y definently the sony`s. ive had mine for over a year and they haven't broken at all. they have a great bass sound that does not ruin the music .

[kawish33]

whats better, these or dr dre studios?

[weiss27md]

I have those, they are awesome!

[sammylife12]

is it worth the price, how about sound quality please

[trogloditamacoto]

how good are they to listening hardstyle music and shooters games?

[gamezfan]

these are like putting 2 pillows on your head, ahaha XD man you're funny, i subbed:)

[xMichaelPx]

I got these today and I love them! Honestly i recommend these

[pickupbuck]

do you have a review up on these headphones?

[ONLYUSEmeSKILLZ]

Im wearing them right now! They are great!

[Maxxy926]

@ONLYUSEmeSKILLZ Dude I am too but I don't hear the heavy bass like everyone says. Is it really that loud?

[NCorrigan2014]

@ONLYUSEmeSKILLZ do they leak?

[slayman123]

Their $55 on amazon now!!!!!!

[Final0RDER]

I'm getting the XB300 to start off

[GodOfMusic96]

$ 40 at best buy!!!

[TheeKingJamesL]

Does anyone know if there is a huge diff between these and the xb700s?

[LaPicturesque]

my friend has this pair of headphones. i tried it out. it's absolutely amazing. the reviewer is absolutely right. it sounds crisper than the studio beats by dr. dre which is several times more expensive than these things. absolutely recommended!

[XBLSmackithTheDown]

Full review? :D

[wrobby123]

i've had these since april, i paid 89 though best headphones ever PERIOD

[HuskyWolfy]

mmm...i should get these, all i have are sony MDR-V700's, DJ headphones, they're okay, but the sound quality is kinda lacking, especially with the bass...

[andrew13658]

I want these :( i neeeed bass in my life :P

[PinkHana1040]

watched 2

[burekdudansu12]

Hey, I like your videos. I have a question.

What kind of job do you have ? Coz it looks like your rich rich :P

[V3RM1LI0N]

SUCK IT DR DRE

[StrikerEntertainment]

lol its funny cuz theres gunna be a new and better sony sterio headset releasing this september.

[DraconicFury]

dude i think soy is gonna make a big step into the gaming headset industry with there upcoming 7.1 dolby digital surround sound headset thats wireless...and 100$

[gifty1]

Listen to "HR 8938 Cephei" by Deadmau5 on these headphones....

[Jaynit]

These are the most underrated headphones... I hear people saying BEATS ARE BETTER. well lets see you get a pair that SOUNDS the same at $80.  You're not. Buy these if you're looking for sound quality or buy beats to look like a douche bag. No hate intended.

[xXModing101xX]

I have beats are better

[SArro97]

Does it work for the PS3?

[tensiga2]

@SArro97 i think only if you get converter it would work fine but the sounds needs to go the a/v cables...check out turtles beach headphones.. they are insane plus they have a mic!

[mahdeanrx7]

hi im your facebook friend remember im mahdean sarkar

[Ntrendguy]

I have these there pretty good!

[TheAlexgallardo]

I buy thia shit

[MrAnyReview]

another great review

[MADMANx511]

What about metal. Can these handle the raw power of Pantera? Aborted? Disturbed? Lamb Of God? Metallica (Okay, that may be closer to "rock")?. I need a pair of headphones capable of delivering me (close to) the experience of my speakers at home!

[CalenderJuiceSheena]

Those look super nice and great for the price!

[NecroCrisis]

i got the sony MDR XD100 i

[krod9915]

WOW, i have to say you are the man, i remember inboxing you about these headphones about a month ago and thought i was just another fan asking another question. this really shows to me that you take the time, effort, and money to please your subscribers questions. thanks again really appreciate it

[unboxtherapy]

@krod9915 No problem dude! I always pay attention to my subs - you guys make this possible.

[VikingMinnesota]

[coffee7676]

[coffee7676]

nice review. i remember whenever i went to frys i would see those headphones and been curious if they were good.

[x1yamaha26]

Please review the Kicker HP541's. As Kicker is known for their amazing audio quality I would like to see what they bring to the headphone world.

[TheZen213]

if you had to pick one computer what would you use unboxtherapy?

[littletrez]

Got to get them!!!!

[iSmashUriDevice]

SICK VID :D

[knarkautomat]

I was standing between this one and the ath-m50, i actually went with the ladder, it's a little pricier but really worth it. The xb500 is really good though. :)

[DaPuReViBe]
