Is there going to be a discount for the unwanted X00 from the previous drop when the rats jump ship for the new kids on the block. What say you mass drop.

I can't find the exact spot I read this, although I'm almost positive it was MD, Will said there would be no discount at all. I'm sure you're wishfully thinking that, but they have absolutely no reason to discount it, at this point I wouldn't be surprised if they put the price up (that would certainly piss people off though).

You are granted to switch your order if you are willing to deal with the extra cost and wait don't you? Or is it too late now?

No you can still do it, you have to order the Purpleheart and email them that you joined and they cancel the other order. You can't do a refund then join though, you have to join first.

Music sharing time!:
http://vallisalps.bandcamp.com/
(discovered in Free FLAC music thread...when album was free
)
To me, the above four songs are a really nice showcase of what the X00 does so well: good enough vocals to engage, well handled treble that isn't rolled off, more open sounding than not (i.e. decent soundstage/imaging), surprisingly good ability to retrieve background detail and of course...that deep, controlled, liquid low-end. Sometimes I do wish it imaged better (*my 400i images better and produces sweeter vocals*) but the smooth, thick-ish quality of the X00 bass is the very reason why I don't think I'll ever let them go. At least not for something that isn't a Foster/Fostex build. I think that certain bass texture I love here is unique to these drivers and housing. I guess having the m9XX as source doesn't hurt either. /No hype, we got more than enough, just re-expressing my continued pleasure with these cans. I'm happy more people can get their hands on these to try, despite the long-a#$ wait times. The last song is my fave. OK, back to the late-night music!
*My perfect cans would have the X00 bass, build and comfort + 400i everything else. A man can dream right?*

I bought a pair of mint condition of X00's from a friend and they were damn pleasing. The low end was addictive, but that's all that I liked about it and it wasn't enough to make me want to keep it. The mids left me wanting more and the sibilance was quick to become irritating.

You got the same ears preference like me. I love bass but i hate sibilant and i appreciate mids.
I have th600 and i love it but not for a long term listening. I cought fatigue like 15 to 20 songs.
Maybe my next headphone is LCD? i heard from others that lcd is the best dark sound headphone with bass. The highs are really smooth.
Any comment?
Your love for the TH600 did not last too long.
The tamed highs of the X00 (compared to 600 or 900) is one of the reasons I am waiting for them to arrive in May.
LCD2 (or 2F) seems to be an interesting option too. But people say good and bad about them. So I am not sure if I am ready to experiment with £700.
Oh really, so what's ur choice if i want to change my TH600 to a darker sound signature
