Oh the electrowaves are 80$, and the black deaths are 120$ in the states.

I'm kind of tempted to try out the SZ2000s but does anyone have a good review of the SZ2000s vs XB1000s? The XB1000s put out a lot of bass especially when EQ'd right, so I'm wondering if it would actually be better or not.

Comparing to the SONY XB1000's, the SZ2000's have more prominent mids and highs even when heavily bass EQ'd, the mids particularly retain their presence and clarity, where the XB1000's mids and highs seem a little recessed in comparison with bass leading and everything else following behind.
The XB1000 does have a harder bass slam than the JVC's, but I'd guess that's down to their 70mm Goliath sized drivers.
All in all, the JVC SZ2000's are serious bass canons that deliver a mighty slam that will put a smile on any bassheads face for sure.
I have the xb1000 too I will do a bass test tomorrow using my set up what I can say about the xb1000's is they have the best bass that massages your face what I mean by that lets say you have a bassy track one off bass mekaniks track the bass it vibrates your whole face like its following the frequency of the bass you can feel it start at the forehead and end at the back of your neck it is one of a kind thats for sure, while the sz1000 bass is like a big punch to your head they are 2 different experiences.
if you want cowon, some of them support rockbox, which is a fantastic OS for DAP's. Don't know if it would keep the effects and dsp's if you installed it though. :-\ ONLY SOME OF THE COWONS ARE SUPPORTED. Check out Rockbox's site if you want. The eq on rockbox is pretty nice. I'm guessing devices with more capable internal amps than my sansa c250 wouldn't distort with a lot of bass boost. C250 distorts with too much bass boost. By a lot, I mean 18db@30hz and at 60hz. Maybe just lowering treble by 24db would work better.That sounds like a nice price ($80 bucks)
To the guy who PM'd me.
I do NOT rec the Cowon iAudio 10
It's a horrific UI.
Jeteffects is nice but I learned to use it because I'm relentless and stubborn.....and now I'm pleased but it was a battle. Me and cb can emulate each others settings which is great but I do not advise buying it.
If you buy it anyway Music Bee is great for organizing/tagging/album art for the Cowon.

I would sell the pro900's and buy the SZ's and have change left over, the 900's are not basshead.
