Has anyone noticed a difference in sound quality between their old and new pair? I bought 2 new sets in 2013 and they are both super muffled.

Yeah, the jbuds do sound a bir muffled to me. Well compared to my other in ear headphones. Just not very clear. I dont know its hard to tell. Its not super muffled like covering the speaker, but it is lacking in i "crispness" u could say

Hi Julie, I just recently got 3 sets of J-buds. The one am currently using sounds just fine. Remember that this are in ear listening systems they shoud fit snuggly in your ears for you to enjoy optimal sound so you might wanna make sure you have the right size of buds for your ears. Hope this helps?

They were built as a luxury set of headphones. The materials in the newer model are not as nice for the sake of making them cheaper. If cost is no issue, these are better, if you car about the $100, then the other set is nearly identical.

Hi mate I had this pair to and they were ok but leaked sound and the Bass was not as effective as the xb920 The XB920 have more punch to the Bass unlike the XB700s

I've had the same exact issue and am exchanging for another pair. They crackle even without being plugged into anything, in my case, though it's often worse when I plug it in.

hi Jerad, I am not a old customer of this product, so give me a few more months to test the Skullcandy earbuds for an honest answer to your concerns of long lasting quality.Larry

I'll raise my hand here as well, I've also been through three pairs with the same issue and also love these earphones. Shure have been fantastic in replacing them for free under warranty. Sadly my most recent pair were lost on a flight, tempted to order these again but would love a pair that doesn't lose sound in one ear and stay in the ear when exercising. Any suggestions?

that, i don't know. When I needed a new pair, i went with what I knew, and stayed with the "old" version and was not dissapointed. the are comfy, flexible, durable and sound great with either bluetooth or auxilliary jack.

I bought mine in 2012, they quit working in 2014. Sounded great up until then. Probably wouldn,t buy another pair, to bad because the sound was that good!

I play most of my music on the high side (partially deaf) but never experienced any vibration. Did you try adjusting how you wear them? I noticed more bass when I love them a little lower. Good luck. I really like mine great for walking and biking so I can still hear traffic etc. I think if you somehow got a bummer pair the company will replace or reimburse.

I bought new 901 VI's factory direct in November of '09. Nothing on them or the boxes says anything about "Mk2" so maybe they are not the new ones...whatever, they sound great to me! Definitely better than the Series IV's I had back in the 70's. More neutral in tone and more flexible with the choice of two different bass eq curves.

I've read the same thing. Many have said that the speakers channels (2) are muffled and it appears that Zagg now realizes their mistake. I wonder how soon they will ship the "corrected" version to market. As it stands now, this would be a showstopper for me.

Hi Jayden, well the pair we had had very poor sound quality, cheaply made and were defective, I would choose a different make

I looked this up for you and couldn't find many comparisons. I just found this guy's youtube video on headfi. http://www.head-fi.org/t/629433/new-sony-extra-bass-mdr-xb600-mdr-xb800-unboxing-videosEven so, you should try seeing if you can find more comparisons or wait until more come out to have more opinions as the guy in the video may not be 100% reliable (also, they guy said that he didn't burn them in yet). Unfortunately that my take some time.

Not in the set that I have. They are good quality headphones. They only aspect of this product that is weak can be the transceiver unit. If it fails renders all useless, hard to repair or replace (Reading reviews you will find it has a high rate of doing so on the old firmware). If you buy it make sure to upgrade the firmware ASAP on the transceiver unit.

Thanks for the question. It has nothing to do with settings-it's muffled. The Companion 2 is like that too-not good, BOSE! If all Bose products are being developed this way I won't being buying any more.

This may not help, but I bought the white PX 100's on Amazon about 2 years ago. Mine seem to be exactly the same as these black ones -- and they sound very good :)

I think the sound quality is super and when wearing them I cannot hear any outside sounds. The buttons for increase sound does not work with my device. I would actually prefer that this was not on them. Hope this helps
