  Wow very nice comparison!
 
Have ever heard X2? The part you gave me, sounds good too in X2. The separation of voices kinda there.
 
I believe that I will always listen to EDM stuff. Also a lot of genre too. Btw, i just return my pro900 since I cant bear the highs and the missing of mids. I do appreciate the mids even in EDM. So, u said TH900 highs are more refined. Does it ear bleeding for some musics that really put a lot of highs? Example, beginning part of this song. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kucP6R7JrJs The highs at pro900 is EAR BLEEDING! TH900? X00? Cuz my 100 bucks Jaybird can perform well for that song haha

I don't own own the X2, I tried that link on my HD600 and ATH AD1000X. (Still waiting for my Fostex X00 to arrive. The treble (cymbals sounds) on the HD600 is too realistic to the point that I cant listen the whole track.  Switching to the ATH AD1000X. The treble (cymbals sounds) is great like glitter, good enough for me to listen for a long period of time. I will update it with the Fostex TH X00 when mines arrive.

Any idea how these would pair with DacMagic Plus? Says "Output impedance<50 Ohms" and these are 26 ohms.


Based on that info, not likely to be a good pairing.  But can't hurt to try it out.

 
That specification may not apply to headphone output as the official product page has listed the phone out specs separately.
But even then TH-X00's 25 ohms is not within the listed recommended headphone impedance range of 32~600 ohms in the first place.

I still can't believe how good they sound straight out of my iPod Touch 5G

With the announcement of the TH610, I feel like there may not be another drop of the TH-X00 for a very long time :frowning2:. I definitely regret missing my chance to get these when they were on drop. Now I'll most likely have to just wait for the TH610 and consider coughing up a lot of money to receive them lol. Living in Canada sucks with the current exchange rate :p

  Once this recent drop ships around May you might find a pair to pick up on Ebay or the classifieds here.
 
An an American, I can tell you Canada is looking better and better compared to having Trump president LOL

LOOOL True. Google searches for "How to move to Canada?" have increased significantly with all this Trump stuff. I love Canada, I just wish the exchange rate was like a year and a half ago. Then I could buy a $400 pair of headphones for $400-$415 as opposed to $535 (which is actually quite a bit better than the last 2 months).

Hello guys, I have a Fostex TH-X00 and Grace design m9xx, my burn in period is about 100 hours. 70hours music and 30 hours pink noise/ frequency sweeps. I don't feel that this headphones have great, big bass. Is like a open back headphone bass. What is the problem with bass? Any ideas to tight up bass.

When you say it doesn't have great, big bass, what is your reference point or compared to what other headphones?

Seems like the DT770 600ohm still reigns king in closed headphone bass (impact wise)
