I can confirm everything said by Jaawa. These senn's are a great pair of IEM's and if you search well you can find lots of good deals when it comes to price ;)  

Quote: Great price bro! ;)

Can't really say much yet, except that they don't aren't as comfy as my other IEM's (Sony brand, don't know the type though), but they stay put in my ears and I guess that's what really counts since I'll be using them for gym/running. As for the sound quality, I need more time to try them out...

Quote: Let me know what you think! You can download the mp3 here: http://aaronstatic.com/    Make sure it's the "Aaron Static 2009 Remix" because there are also other mixes with similar names! ;)

I just recently discovered the "Aaron Static 2009 Remix" of Rank 1 - Airwave, absolutely fantastic!

Bought them yesterday on Ebay, 35€ shipped. They should get here tomorrow, can't wait! I was looking for a set of IEMs for my Ipod Shuffle for when I go running and for gym use. After using my Sony MDR-XB700/XB300's, going back to the crappy 10$ earphones was a blow to the heart, so I decided to...

Thank you! I was looking for some extra info on these IEMs and found it here :)

The XB300's aren't that comfy either, after like 1 hour they give me a headache! I have the XB700's and I'm happy about them, for that price (under 100$ online) you can't get much more! TBH I like how Dream Theater sounds on the XB700's, but punk rock for eg. isn't that great. They are much...

I don't know about the XB500's, but the XB700's have A LOT of sound leak. When I say A LOT, I mean A LOT!

play.com has changed my life since I've discovered it They are GREAT!

Quote: Originally Posted by syke I beg to differ. The XB700s can go lower albeit in a "muddier" fashion. The 770pro was tight, but if I only want to be listening to silly bassy stuff, the XB700 does a better job. The lower freqs are much better felt. Now, if you are comparing both...

I actually love the cord. It's flat, short and doesn't get tangled up in anything! I don't know about the sound quality with an extension cord, it might loose a bit but I don't think it will make a big difference. Let's see is someone more experienced can answer that question!

Quote: Originally Posted by Tiemen I never heard the XB300, but from what I've read, the bass is worse and more overpowering. So the XB700 will have a better quality bass. Impedance from 24 to 40 ohm won't have any different impact. The sensitivity of the headphones is more important...

I have both of them and if I were you I'd go for the XB700's, especially if you will be using them with your pc. They are great for that kind of use, the XB300's aren't bad but they aren't as comfy and they are on hear, not closed. I use my XB300's when I'm out because the XB700's are huge (and...

the HD595's aren't even NC's.. :|

They finally arrived, got them for 95€ shipped from amazon.co.uk. They sound better than the XB300's for sure, I'm trying to figure out how much of it is because the XB300's are on ear and how much of it is because the driver on the 700's is bigger. For now I'm liking them, but I need more...

Here it is:

I have the XB300's, for 35$ I can't complain, but I'm thinking about upgrading to the XB700's. Is there that much of a difference to justify spending more money?

Quote: Originally Posted by Tiemen See this: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/hea...-xb700-417226/ Well, it looks like these are the right headphones for me! I think I'll keep the XB300's for when I want to go out in public, and use the XB700's for when I'm at home (which is most...
