So I made this thread a couple of weeks ago: http://www.head-fi.org/t/570154/did-i-get-knockoff-xb700-s   Asking if I had gotten some fake XB700's, the general consensus was that I did.  Now that I have a real pair of XB700's, I can say with absolute certainty that they are super fake, the...

I was wondering should i get an amp for my Sony's , i really love the bass, i was thinking of getting the FiiO E5, Should my Samsung impression be enough to power them there only 24 ​ohms, but they have alot more bass when plugged in my computer then in my phone

I've been doing a lot of reading on the subject of either upgrading or getting a better amp. A few years back I picked up a E5 to power my XB700's. Neither my Zen W or my laptop could properly support the headphone which is when I was guided to try the E5 to see if it offered any difference...

Shure SRH240 vs Sony MDR-XB700 vs V-Moda Crossfade LP   I've been considering which cans to get to replace my MeElectronics headphones and have narrowed my choices down to these three, with the Shures and Sonys I am going to be getting a Fiio E6 amp, but not with the Crossfades.   There...

Yes, this counts as mini for me.  I’m prone to rambling...   Since Lord Voldemort was kind enough to send me one of his Objective2 prototypes in return for being one of his loyal minions (or maybe just giving him some useful advice from a different perspective) I figured I should write up...

First of all i have to say this website is quite attractive to check out whats important/fun/interesing about headphones and probably not only that...   Thats how i came to know i want a new pair of cans for myself.Ive been reading quite some reviews and bought myself a pair of xb500. No...

Hi guys, I just created my user here and I hope you wont flame me for asking help here... So, here's my story..I love music, its the only thing I have left in life that I love, and I'm pretty sure music loves me back aswell. I'm a trance music addict pretty much, it makes me wanna live.. but my...

Hi, I'm new here so yeah! I would like to know which headphone is good for my kind. I like to listen to clear, high and bassy classical and electronica. I also love to listen to Elvis Presley's songs. So I've done my research and I have narrowed it down to the Sony xb1000 and Ultrasone...

  I have a serious question, and i joined because I'm hoping to become part of the community. I really love the bass of the beats by dr dre pros but there are so many bad reviews about them and its hard to tell if the ones you are buying are fake or not. Im looking for a headphone in the...

I am getting this amp and I want to watch movies with it via my laptop.  I researched for a little and weighed the pros and cons of each headset.  The XB700 was my final conclusion, but I am still weary about it because a lot of people don't enjoy them.  The XB700 is hard to power I heard, so...

Can anyone suggest a good set of portable headphones which can be driven by a mp3 player (cowon j3) unamped?   I've had the chance to demo a few: Shure 840, Denon AD2000, Sony XB500/XB700/XB1000, M50s and to me they sounded really terrible @@ (demo'ed them all umamped).   Cheers. 

Alright so my friends birthday is next week and he said he wanted some beatz by Dre and I was like NO WAY! we gotta get you some real headphones. But I want it to be a surprise! Alright anyways he listens to mostly RnB, Rap, and some reggae so he wants some good bass. Price range is $150-$200...

I just got my Ultrasone HFI-580s and I'm not impressed.   I previously had the Beyer DT990s and I was equally not impressed.   I have the Ultrasone PRO 900s on the way and if those don't impress me, what will?   I am an Avid EQ freak and have pushed the lower frequencies in...

I wanted to know if I should go with these headphones or another pair. I'm thinking about buying these headphones but from what I hear they don't have much bass to them. Which is a bit of a problem cause the 40% of music library is Hip-Hop. However, I also listen to alot of rock, R&B...

Hi guys, new here and about to purchase a set of cans. I admit im looking for some headphones that will blow my head off with bass. I am not looking for an accurate sound. Also ill be listening to about 75% Rap music so these and the XB500 models seem to fit the bill. I've read over the XB500 vs...

I got these headphones off of an ebay seller in china.  They had a good feedback rating, and they came in what appeared to be sealed sony packaging.  But when I look at pictures of the XB700's, like these on amazon...

I currently use the Sony MDR-XB700 and listen to mainly hip hop/rap music. So what headphones suit me the best with a $300 budget ?

When I heard the Monster Beats Pro, I thought it actually sounded pretty good, but now I look at the Innerfidelity graphs, it seems the PRO actually measures better. Other than the treble to being tamer on the PRO which isn't necessarily a bad thing, the PRO seems to have the advantage overall...

Soooooo besides the 20$ difference, whats the differences between the 60's and the 80's? I heard there is more bass in the 80's but cant i just turn up the eq? Also, whatever the differences are, is it worth 20 extra bucks? (I listen to kpop, dubstep, techno/electronica and **** like that.)

I wonder what the difference is between the  Philips O'Neill SHO9560/28 Over-Ear Headphones and the Philips O'Neill SHO9561/28 Over-Ear Headphones. The Philips O'Neill SHO9561/28 Over-Ear Headphones are at Best Buy for $79, but the Philips O'Neill SHO9560/28 Over-Ear Headphones are on amazon...

Okay, I have never owned a "nice" pair of over ear headphones, just some 1st gen bose in ears, and at night my girlfriend complains that my tv/music keeps her up so she was going to get me a pair of headphones. So I've done a bunch of reading, and see the Audio-Technica ATH-M50 constantly pop...

does it have a difference 

For people that been looking around for these, J&R have them in stock right now with free shipping in the US for $80 (Make sure to put in the promo code that's at the top). Here is the link:   http://www.jr.com/sony/pe/SON_MDRXB700/     After weeks of searching finally got to order my...

Well I got my XB700's in the mail today from a fellow head-fi'er on trade. I plugged them into my Cowon to test them out as my computer was off and I had to root around in my garden today, firkin pumpkins taking over the corn! ANYWAYS, after using them for about an hour or so I went inside...

Hey guys, I been reading reviews and everything about the XB700's and they seem like the right pair for me. Does anybody know where I could get these for around 80$~ in the US? I been seeing all out-of-stocks, so any help would be great :].   Thank you in advance!
