Look at my sig. I prefer the RX700 to all those. Except the D2000. I liked it a little bit more, but it wasn't worth the extra price, so I sold it.

WOW, I thought I saw newegg was selling RX900 for $69.99 yesterday and now it is $79.99. Maybe I saw it wrong

Note that it's the Canadian version of newegg.

Has anybody ever compared the 700's side by side with AH-D2000s I've been thinkin' about pickin' me up some of those. Heard some pretty good things about them, could be a nice step up in the closed cans arena.

 

[Rex81]

Yeah, I recently did a long comparison of the two. I didn't write anything up, I just did it for myself. Very similar sound signatures overall. The D2000 is very nice. They have more detail, soundstage, and instrument separation than the RX700. But in the end, I decided that the RX700 was 90% as good as the D2000, and a 10% of the price, so I got rid of the D2000, bought a bike with the proceeds, and I'm still enjoying my music through my RX700 when I get home from a good ride.

^ I've been getting out and putting the miles on my bikes as well since the weather got nicer. In the mean time, I've still got my RX700 at home, and my AD700 should be back next week (broken plug needed repair). Having balance (not too much money locked up in one interest) is a good thing.

^^ Road or Mountain biking??

I tend to go a bit over-the-top in hobbies and dropped well over a grand into a hard-tail MB a couple of years ago. But I consider it a "budget" racer and it's held up great under my 250 lbs (why do Mavic wheels have to be so damn pricey? )

On topic: I unboxed my RX900's last night (six weeks on order from Buy.com). My initial impressions are very positive (I think the DT770's days at my house are numbered). I spent a solid hour listening to some favorite songs and right now their plugged into my receiver and will be burning for the next 100 hours or so. I'll post again after they're done cooking.

Mod them, and your impressions will be even more positive.

I just took a listen a minute ago and my favorite morning DJ's voice, which is a baritone, showed some unpleasant vibrations/resonances, that I'm fairly sure your mods will take care of (particularly the Dynamat on the back of the driver).

I plan to let them burn fully then listen to them in stock form for at least a month, then I'll almost certainly perform the mods you describe.

With the HD580's around, almost any headphone is going to play second fiddle in my house though. I really prefer open cans, but these RX900's are really nice and for the peanuts I paid, I'm very happy with them so far.

I've glanced over the Mod thread and I'm pretty sure that the changes these mods make will fall right in line with what I like in a headphone.

^Sounds like a plan!

I think you'll be pleasantly surprised at how "tunable" these headphones are.
