XB500????!!!! Those sound completely muffled and theres no mod you can do to them to improve the sound

How did you mod your XB800's???

 

[miow]

Please have a look at the Appreciation thread. Its all about needles

 
EDIT: I can't sleep since I've modded them and fine tuned them. It has been 10 hours non-stop at least today. 
 
And if you want the home work made already, they're for sale as I'm getting the V-Moda M-100's plus an high-end amp ; )

The C&C BH that blows the C421 out of the water and its cheaper ; )

Wait does the C&C BH have a bass boost setting?

Can annyone do a comparison between Crossfade LP's vs. Pro700 MkII unamped? I heard pro700mkII's only have that bass with an amp. Winner between sub bass?

Can you guys suggest an over-ear headphone that has really powerful sub bass similar to the CKS77?  I bought the WS99 hoping that it would be a huge improvement in the sub bass, but it has very little punchy bass

Yes, it does (besides other things the C421 doesn't have as an expanded soundstage switch, etc).

Can you link your mod in particular?

Found the C&C BH on amazon.

Where can I find more information on it Miow?  For one I would like to use it with my laptop .  Or what should I even use for my laptop?

  I tried doing this with my Fiio E11 and there was interference of some type. 
 
Thanks,
Dubby

dubby, please have a look at the C&C thread. It's all there.
 
Prakhar, theres some little info of my mod on the XB800 appreciation thread, you can have a look at that to get an idea of what was done. My JVC FXZ200 arrived today and the XB800 modded are better.

Well that's dissapointing, i had high hopes for those, guess I'll go with the V-Moda M100's.

Definitely SONY XB800. I'm selling mines almost brand new and modded for transparency/detail for less 30€ if this interests you. Have a look at the classifieds or just PM me for details.

Unamped, the Crossfade LP blows the PRO700MK2 out of the water in terms of sheer bass quantity. Mid-bass presence is substantial on the LP, whereas it is "merely" punchy on the Audio-Technica cans. The Crossfade LP is capable of pushing a lot of bass that it sometimes seems that you;'re just listening to a wall of bass, where the bass just comes out as one huge wave slamming at you. Sub-bass extension is where the PRO700MK2 redeems itself. It reaches deep and thanks to its greater clarity, offers better detail. Again, the huge quantity of the LP's bass means you get the rumble, but also the mid-bass slam all presented as one.
