Hey everyone,
I know this comparison has been made multiple times already, but still I want to be sure to make the right choice.
First some facts:
- I am not an audiophile, just a fun listener
- I chose for these Headphones because of their bass, overall quality next to that, the comfiness and the price
- I am not going to use these headphones just with my oldschool amp or pc, but with my iPod too
Ok, now let's start for real. I've read many comparisons of these two headphones, with different outcomes. Some say the XB500 rocks, others say the XB700 rocks. My question is what's best for me, as I'm not using a portable amp with my iPod. Which one will most likely create the best SQ with my iPod as source? Knowing that the XB500 has a 40Ohm impedance and the XB700 a 24Ohm impedance I would say the XB700 would be better with my iPod.
Thanks in advance,
Maarten
