So what are your impressions of the XB700s? And Compare them to the pros?
By the way, what did you use for music samples when you tested the 700's?
I heard both, the XB700's I have owned for over 2yrs.
Pro's I demoed quite a few times:
Beats pro:
Pros:
-Punchy bass, very dominant
-Good quality wire
-Look?
-Foldable
Cons:
-Annoyingly heavy
-Clamp force is too much
-Not comfortable due to small cushions + clamp + weight
-IMO: highs I couldn't stand, and mids that were piercing my ears
-Price
If i were you, I would NOT wear the pros outside - not due to being "another beats owner" but rather, the fact that they are so heavy, I wouldn't be comfortable, similarly how the XB700's are not really meant for outside use, as they are HUGE.
If you want indoors: Get the Denon D2000's they won't disappoint in ANY department - bass isn't as punchy, but amp that, be it via your phone/player or an amp, and the bass beats the pro's and the XB700's by a considerable amount.
XB700's don't stand a chance vs the denon's
The XB700's were possibly a little worse than the pros
Then put price into consideration, for value for money:
2/10 = Pros @£250
10/10 = Xb700's @£70
8/10 = Denon's @ £200
