Congrats!
Hey, neighbor! I'm up in Evergreen.
Sweet! Maybe we'll have to do a meet someday.
Got my X1's today. Real quick initial impressions: Far more realistic sounding then the Monoprice 8323 and the bass goes much deeper. Bass QUANTITY is not as much as I expected from reading all the reviews. Extremely comfortable. Extremely.
Now to really listen to them...
I have a cable being made now by a kind member here, I'll check out this cable theory soon.
Another observation: These headphones friggin stink. Like chemicals. I hope it goes away.
Edit: I also wonder if the bass is due to using a receiver to power the headphones and a impedance mismatch. I think I see a headphone amp in my future after more research and will hold my judgement until that time.
Chemicals go away quickly and a receiver headphone out may very well affect your bass.
