To each his own I guess, as long as you guys are enjoying your card and music

Congrats on your card =) I tried out dolby headphones I felt it ruined the natural "flavor" of the headphones and changed it completely. Although I understand why some people might like it, I really can't stand it. Try listening to music with dolby for a while and then the hi-fi or no EQ mode...

I'd say you like them but you want some sort of validation - just get it and be happy. It seems like a good fit for your needs.

Audio Technica seems to do that with their products, doesn't come with much and the package is pretty subpar as well. However the quality of their products are really solid IMO. Is the frame of the 900x magnesium or plastic?

Nice review =)

4GB and 16GB = Overkill for my uses (even though it's loaded with FLAC) I think 2GB/4GB would be the sweet spot for me, I don't like carrying a lot of music I like to switch it up with stuff from my PC

So what are they rebrands of??

139. Actual listening > Gear

What happens if I borrow it and a driver blows out or something happens to it and it's not due to neglect/abuse? I would consider the program I was forced to buy blind but haven't made any terrible picks lol

Thank you very much spartan86

"You may get better results using a Cambridge Audio DacMagic Digital-to-Analog Converter with USB, Silver" LOL? Is it just me or does it say at the bottom of the page?

Vanguard hardcases!

I doubt notebooks will have good quality sound it's just something manufacturers don't care about. If anything, you can use: notebook + external DAC/AMP --> headphones?

Expensive IEMs are expensive due to demand. All those factors previously stated wages, R&D, logistics, what not is just a byproduct of demand for good quality IEMs. If all the current consumers (enthusiasts/musicians/etc) suddenly stopped purchasing $500+ IEMs there would be no market for them...

The XB700s were the bassiest headphones I've ever heard in my life. It rumbled my skull lol. Not my thing but by look of your user name it might just be your taste
