I use an Headstage arrow, but i think that pro 900 sounds good also with a powerful player, for me it is impossible compare pro 900 with beats pro.
XB1000 is a waste of money, I've tried it, it's way too big, even if it was the best headphone in the world it wouldn't matter. But it isn't even that great and certainly not worth the price tag.
XB500 I disliked, I loved the XB700 in comparison, but XB500 is dirt cheap.
Pro 900 is different from Ed 8, but if you prefer PortaPro to Ed 8 is even better that you stay away from pro 900.
You are lucky enough to be content with mediocre headphones.
I've seen that review before I even purchased those two headphones. And I don't think one subjective review means anything. There are countless other people who will attest to the superiority of the XB700 to the XB500.
I would hope that he burned in the headphones before listening. Treble was very high initially on the XB700, then it got much better later on. I suspect he hasn't given his description of the XB700 as harsh at high volumes. That simply isn't the case after 100 hours of listening.
Has he even tested anything other than hip hop? No, not rock, or whatever - how about electronic music? Nothing in his review indicated he has. Modern hip hop, with its excessive use of a kick beat like what you hear in "Teach Me How to Dougie", will always make a mid-bass can like the 500 sound better than a sub-bass can like the 700.
I think the sub-bass on the XB700 combined with better clarity and less boominess makes the XB700 a better buy than the XB500.
I'm sorry I don't spend my time dressing up my forum profile. Can't wait to add an avatar with me and my duck face.
I also apologize that I'm not impressed by your idol. Tyler Durden, if you ever read this, I disagree. The XB700 was the better phone, and there wasn't really much ambiguity about it.
And lastly, one more apology that I don't hold much weight to a pretty graph. It looks really nice though, I love the sexy curves. Maybe I'll take a closer look when I'm actually listening to music, not studying it.
