Quick question:

I am looking at pictures of the RX900 on buy.com and for some reason, it looks so much more luxurious and tougher than the 700's..
Is this true?

And which is better for listening to hip hop/R&B. The 700 or 900?

I just got my RX700s. Initial impressions are good. I can't wait to see how the sound changes after burn in.

The RX900 is the bassier of the two. However, it's almost too bassy and just floods everything else.

hmm So the RX700 is better than the RX900?!

And also is the X700 the best headphones under $75?

What sounds better than the RX700 then? I am looking to get another set of headphones.

Also can you compare the RX700's to the Audio-Technica ATHES7

If you catch Beyerdynamics phones on sale, try them. I like the dt440

I havent heard an Audio-Technica phones,since I had the ad700(hated them).

 

[macdaddy89]

anyone else??
what kind of headphones does the RX700 compete with and how do they compare with the Audio-Technica ATHES7 ?

 

[macdaddy89]

I just listened to a Flac file on IMEEM.
Is the quality the same as a full flac file? or is it dumbed down like youtube

 

[Cya|\|]

Ofc lossless audio sounds better than compressed audio.

 

[macdaddy89]

Does IMEEM upload full quality?

The only phone to clearly surpass the RX700 is the DX3, IMO. I do prefer the RX900 for some kinds of music. Though both the 700 and 900 play nicely off a DAP, they both benefit greatly with amping. I also think the RX900 is the superior phone for synthsized surround. In order of overall SQ:
DX3
RX700
RX900

Although the DX1 and DX3 have piqued my interest, both the RX700 and RX900 are roughly 1/3rd and 1/2 the price of the DX series, respectively. The RX700 seems very hard to beat in terms of price/performance but it all depends on the limit of one's budget. When going into $100 range, we're looking at the AD700, MS1, D1001, SR-60, SR-80, ATH-M50, Q40, HD280 among others, as the usual suspects--depending on one's music choice, open/closed preference, or supra/circum preference.

Highly unlikely it was a true flac file but I could be wrong. I'm thinking that the original file was flac which imeem then used an embedded music format, like Youtube.

whats better then
the RX700 or the AT-A700
