Do those Panasonics actually sound that fun? Would they be more fun than say, the Ultrasone HFI-580? And a third question, I like particularly cold cans, not necessarily dark, but heavy in the mid-upper bass, like the DT770, except even colder. How do those cans compare in that respect? (I would...

I'm also going to agree with wizard here. From DJAmtrax's review of the XB1000, it's essentially a better sounding version of the XB700, which is not what you want. However, I will say that the XB700 can output head-vibrating bass, especially if you boost the infrasonic freqs (below 20 Hz) by...

Note: All songs referenced are in 16 or 24 bit FLAC/APE. The source is the ASUS Xonar Essence STX   I've been putting this off for quite some time, and I think it's about time I wrote something good about these headphones.   Build Quality:   The same as the DT770 Pre 32 ohm version...

I'm glad you like the XB700, but they are other options for bassheads. The Audio-Technica ATH-A700 has just as much infrasonic sound and bass quantity as the XB700 (provided equalization, of course. But then, I'm talking about all of the following headphones when the best has been equalized out...

I have turned it down, but the issue is the loss of SQ from too much EQ. I like the sound coming from the DT770, even if it is still a little ear-piercing in some songs, but it's a trade of between comfort and muddled sound. If the DT770 32 ohm is any indicator, this should drastically improve...

Recessed midrange, sounds good to me. I'm fine with the HFI-580's midrange, thought it is overall veiled, but that's probably because of my DSPs to get more upper bass from it. I can only imagine that this has been considerably improved in the Pro 900s. Like I said, I found the DT770's upper...

Not to beat an old thread, but I stumbled upon this thread after searching for upper bass. There's a short story about that relevant to to my question, so I'll tell it. My audio journey has been a relatively short 5 years, and in that time, I can't say I've come very far. Although, I have...

I have to make a few notes know that I've had the chance to listen to the HFI-580 for a comparable time to the DT-770, and I'm no longer fawning over it: The HFI-580 doesn't have as much stoundstage or depth as the DT770 by a noticable amount. The S-Logic Feature only seems to give it...

I agree. I don't (more appropriately can't) use EQ'ing for sub-bass. I have a few convolver files that really add a lot of quantity to sub-bass, but the ability of a source to output sub-bass is also variable; for example, my FiiO E5 (no bass boost), NuForce LOD combination gives me more...

Updated the first post with my final impressions. Added in another can, the Ultrasone HFI-580.

I apologize for the bad analogy, I'm notorious for those. But here's what I mean; the ears perception of sound from person to person varies, and it also varies within the same person. For example, if you listen to a sound for long enough (assuming its of low enough intensity), you can begin to...

Note: Skip to the end for the short version.   Thanks for your harsh criticisms, you really saved this thread from going dead. You're right, when I wrote this, I didn't have that much experience; it was actually my first step into the audiophile world, but that's not to say that I have...

I would be talking about the 32 Ohm edition. I wanted to get a used 600 ohm edition and the FiiO E9, but it got sold it when my refund from Newegg.com finally cleared. In retrospect, I should have mentioned which version.   Edit:   Further inspecting the issue, I think I was a bit...

Final Impressions:   As a note, in case you sort of glossed over the title, I'm talking about the 32 Ohm version of the Beyerdynamic DT770.   I'm adding another set of headphones to this Mid-Fi Comparison, the Ultrasone HFI-580.   This impression won't be as detailed as my other...

Even for $400, I'm still getting it. Of course, it better live up to the $400 price tag. But from a production stand point, it's price would probably be around $250, since a $400 headphone would make a huge demand gap. More concretely, The XB700 would compete against the ATH-M50 and others...
