UPS just dropped off the RX700 and RX900. At first listen (no burn-in), I like the RX700 better. It sounds very close to the Denon D2000, but that's from memory of owning the D2000...twice so take that with a grain of salt. The RX700 has nice deep bass with good impact. The mids are a touch forward and warm and the highs have a little sparkle with a bit of sibilance. I hate bright headphones and these are definitely not bright. The mids are actually very good especially female vocals.
The RX900....the bass is like a fart canon that completely engulfs the entire frequency spectrum. I'm not even going to bother with these until at least 40 hours of burn-in have transpired. Once the bass subsides and tightens up, these will be good enough to compare to the RX700 out of the box.
The RX700...without a doubt...is definitely worth $41 shipped. I even like the pads on the RX700 more than the RX900, but they feel as though they won't last as long.
More impressions later.
