No one can really guarantee the cable will last long. But as long as you buy real decent headphones like the XB500's and just handler with care you shouldn't have any problems.

On amazon it says the XB500s have a noise cancelling feature. what do they mean?

Are the XB500s as good or about  as good? Because the XB500s are really good looking and comfortable.

Its subjective. The XB's are marketed as a bass headphone. Yet if you do it right, the V6's will walk all over headphone that cost twice as much in terms of bass response. And while the pads on the XB's are comfortable, they make a mess of the soundstage, and the headband gets uncomfortable after about two hours of wearing. And on the topic of style, I personally like the minimalistic styling of the V6's

The earcups are closed design which blocks out some noise for over the head headphones.

Passive means its automatic. You don't need to worry about it.

I beg to differ: 

PC Build in LTT Gallery - JBL J88 - Fostex T50RP (Modded) - Pioneer SE-A1000 vs audio-technica ATH-AD500X - Skullcandy Aviator  
audio-technica ATH-T400 - CHC Silverado and Laredo - Clip-On Headphone Roundup - Sony LinkBuds

Ok had my vmoda for a almost a day now, hmmm where to start.

comfort: took an hour or so but they sit very nicely on the head now. I do have glasses but its not an issue ones the earpads have adjusted.

Sound:

The sound is obviously better then any of my headsets (logitech G930 and creative recon3D omega), iv tried a few diffrent type of music like Rock, dub, classic, opera, some remixes and rap althou i dont listen to that, i didnt hear anything beeing weak, but the bass was slitghly stronger but i think this might be due to my settings, did play around with it and now it sound great, no major changes. I tried the Vmoda on my phone, and it sound good! but yeah im not a "Audiophile"

Looks: very fancy ofc.

Durability: damn sturdy feeling, not that heavy, cables feel strong and you get 2, one comes with a controler/mic, i havent tested the quality on it yet but i might do that later today.

Downsides: non so far, ill need to test the mic, listen to more music variation and whatnot.

Music suggestions are welcome.

If your only using them for home buy some sennheiser hd558 and be done with it.

Oops didn't see you had already bought some.

I have decided but haven't ordered it yet so I'm still open to suggestions. Do the 558 leak sound? How's the bass?

coming from HD595, not hd558's

some leak, but not terrible, and light bass, but IMO perfect for gaming.

Will work for electronic components and parts

They do leak sound as there open headphones, as I said if you only plan to use them at home.

I wouldn't say the bass is super strong but it's defendantly not underwhelming. If your a total bass head they are probably not for you as they produce a very flat/ even witch to most people is what is best.

Please don't get the xb500s tho. Extra Bass = muddy, drowns the other parts of the music.

I had the XB700 and  I don't think it was that muddy. Try them out for yourself and decide what you want. Sound is also subjective.

I don't see it online so maybe not in the physical stores. Are you located in  Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates?

IDK. Check Future Shop or some other places that may carry headphones and see if you can try them out.
