Hi Joker, still curious.
Is the Q40 still my best bass head-removable cable option at an increased budget of $100-160?
Does the Q40, despite the deep bass still have pronounced treble and (especially) vocals?
The XB500/700's and the Crossfade LP just wasn't what I was looking for. It sounded undynamic, unclear, and it felt like I was taking a mud bath, although the bass was excellent. I was interested in the AKG K181 DJ, but the reviews don't seem to positive...
I only managed to listen to the Q40 for 2 minutes max, and at first I felt there wasn't enough bass, but I realized I wasn't being reasonable.
Have you ever listened to the Audio Technica ATH-Pro700 MK2 ? It seem to be respected and has a removable cable... Just wondering if you ever listened to it..
