I am surprised that no one has mentioned these little gems ;)

Basshead for sure! :darthsmile::eek:

Hey everyone, it's been a while since I have stopped by :ph34r: Anyways, I am back in the mix and wanted to get everyone's opinion on blank CD-R media. I have used Memorex in the past, but have read that Verbatim makes some good quality blank media as well. Any suggestions and/or comments is...

Yea, still waiting to see if a former XB500 owner can give a comparison to the XB1000 :D

Should be a sticky :D

Although I am looking for something to replace the XB500, I think I will just wait until the XB1000 hits the states and go from there :darthsmile:

@AZN The XB500 are the "diamond in the rough" when it comes to bass and not needing any sort of AMPAGE. However, I think you may want to look into combining the XB1000 with some sort of power if you want the full effect. Just my guess, I may be wrong though. Still waiting for them to be...

And the reason why I decided not to buy the 580 yesterday :cool:

I was going to say, "hit the repeat all" button :D

What I do is wait for Friday night to come, plug them in and do NOT touch them until Sunday night or Monday morning. Hopefully you have enough music in your library to go that long ;):D

I am also waiting for a good review from someone who has had some experience with similar cans like the M50. The main thing I am looking at is the bass. I tried the PRO500BK and the bass was non-existant, even after a good 50+ hours straight of burn-in.

+1 for "louder than normal"

Yea I just checked it out and I cannot download it for my MBP 

In regards to EQ, what do you guys use? What I mean is, is there any programs that I could DL that would allow proper EQing of songs? I am only using the equalizer via iTunes and that's it....

I'd sell my kidney to afford the Pro 900 :D

HFI-580? And as far as having to "crank it to 11" to get bone shattering bass, either your source or your cans are sh1t.

Thanks RPG   If I read your post correct, it seems that the 580 would probably need some additional "power" to get the best sound possible?

Maybe I missed it, but has anybody owned both the HFI-580 and the Sony XB500? If so, how do they compare?

PVD...live at Galleria Turnmills...FTW!!!:D

I say refined and recessed because straight out of the box, the booming bass wasn't there. I had both of them running out of my MBP and even playing the same album (yes I listened to a whole album), the XB500's bass was still thunderous compared to what the 700 had. I even had to crank up the...

Sony does make their eXtra Bass IEMs with the flat cables. They are just ungodly huge and hard to keep in ear. I agree with possibly getting the XB500 and comparing them to the XB1000. When I had the XB700, the bass seemed really recessed and REFINED compared to it's younger sibling.

Quote: Well I guess that leaves the HFI-580? Or did you cancel that one off your list       

Quote: Those things are huge 

Quote:     +1 to this! No need to ruin a good headphone with a cable that will malfunction within 2-3 weeks.
