Well I am sorry to say this Sony but bass on 770pro is still better. Its deeper, has better impact and basshead like me still prefers 770pro. Shame on you Sony. Next time when you claim they're made for Drum&Bass make sure the bass is as good or better than 770pro/80 WHEN PLAYING DRUM&BASS. That is all. I don't think the bass is that much better than K81DJ to be honest. Now don't get me wrong they are very bassy and I'd say they have 90% 770 bass, but I totally expected better bass than 770pro. Sony marketing ftw. |

The best i've found is MDR-XB700 Extra Bass Headphone (MDRXB700) in Canada - Fast Shipping 1.866.800.8060 for $130 but they're not a stocked item :/ I'm not gonna pay $180 when they're available for $80 in the USA, that's for sure. Thanks |

I showed the dude the website (frontierpc.com) and how they're Canadian. After talking with the manager for a few minutes, he agreed to sell me the XB700 cans for $140 bucks which was completely fair considering the cans at frontierpc.com were 130 + 10 shipping. And now I have myself a proper (or relatively proper) set of cans. Initial impressions: loving the booming bass |
