not exactly that. The X3 doesn't present bass in a well rounded way. It lacks weight and sub bass extension. It presents bass in a very lazy, almost dry way. You listen to the Piston with the Sansa Fuze or Sony, and you can feel the sub bass and mid bass, and get that feeling of weight and speed. The X3 presents it more linear. More like bass from a HiFiMan RE product...if you follow?

+1 on the Fuze and Pistons on bass, even though I am not a bass head.

Kinda' disappointing that these piston don't even best the ATH CKN70s tbh. If true that is....

I think it was more about the signature, i.e. sharp vs. smooth.

Amazon selling the Fidelio X1 for $150! You fellas better jump on that one. Best headphone I've ever heard. It and the Thinksound On1 are my two favorites.

Can't get enough of the drugs...a.k.a.(music,headphones)

hmmm, Fidelio X1 for 150. build quality alone should be worth it...

Yes the JVC, changed that to be clearer. Pretty obvious that the latest 40mm driver, over ear, fold up, portable cans from the two brands should be worth comparing esp. after the couple of S500 comparisons being close. I mean JVC S500 and AT S500 compared and being close in performance but having their own sigs/house sounds.

The only reason why people compare JVC S500 and AT S500 is that they are both called S500.
Wouldn't be happening if AT called theirs S742.
 
Also S680 is on ear for most people - a very comfortable one, but still an on ear.

Fidelio X1 for $150 on Amazon (deal of the day).  Which is better, X1 or Yamaha HPH200?  Is there anything better for $150?

X1, even with Dsn having his high-end shure's he still compliments the X1 every now and then.

 

[doctorjazz]

X1 @ $150? Somebody just shoot me now!

 

[Grayson73]

Eric, where do the BA200 fall in your sig rankings?

£190 doesn't seem like an extremely good deal to me if I'm honest:
