I tend to feel the 5xx, is the better sounding, can. But, the x-4's price tag, makes it hard to pass up. In all honesty, you can find the x-4's lately pooping up on eBay(new in many cases), for $99, and there are plenty of 5xx's going for ~150, and even less. So, you could possibly pick up both, there, if you are willing to find the right deals. But, while I enjoy the x-4, I enjoy the 5xx more. It just has a more fun, and aggressive/fast sound to it. I am sure, you will be happy, regardless of whichever one, you pick. They are both fully capable and great sounding cans. Even their comfort, is on par with each other. Although, I personally prefer the 5xx pads. The focus-a or whatever on the x-4, and others in the 400 series, tend to cause my ears to get noticeably hot, while sitting in a nicely air conditioned room. I've never noticed this problem ever before, until getting my 400i and 4xx, followed by the 400se and x-4. Best of luck, to you! Don't worry, you can't go wrong, with either, in my opinion.
