Which one to get..... (Poll)


Philips SHL3300BK/00 or the ATH-A500X 

I've heard good things about both, and the Phillips ones are about 15$ more expensive but I do like the look of them better.

but I want which ever one has better quality beefy bass and my number 1 thing is noise cancellation both Closed back.

AFAIK the philips one is advertised as a "DJ" headphone so it should have a "beefy" bass. But iirc when I tried a pair a year back it was more of "the bass feels beefy and boomy just because the mids and highs aren't that good"

 

I looked up the ATH-A500x and it says it's for acoustic sound so expect more emphasis on the mids and highs rather than the bass.

hmm, What do you think would be more balanced for gaming/Music?
