There seems to be some confusion on this matter... What say you?

I've had my pair for close to a year now, I love em...but don't listen to them as much since I've given my JVC HA-DX3's more of a chance. |

I can't wait for someone to come in here and say that those are merely cracks. Humor me for a second, take one of the cups on your RX700's apart and hold them to the light. Those VENTS are not there unintentionally. Once again, the VENTS are obscured by a flange but they are clearly and visible there and if you'd bother to take one of your cups apart you'd know this. The JVC RX-HA700's are semi-open and that's a fact, jack. |
