I was totally disappointed with the Pro700 Mk2. It was a major disappointment to be honest coming from the XB700, XB1000 and the M50. The bass was too uncontrolled, not even boomy, just messy. Tried it on the E7 and the Mp5. I passed on it immediately. No soundstage, really disappointing mids and highs, messy dirty bass. It had some good subterranean shaking going on but nothing the XB700 or XB1000 didn't do way, way better.
The best bang for your buck bass headphone in my mind is still the XB700. Once I am done sorting out this business with the Merlins I will acquire an XB1000, for sure.
I smearked on the first 15 minutes of trying to enjoy the sound sig. I passed it over to Trunk to hear for herself. I prefer the es7 clarity and bass presentation, even the m50.
But i have to admit we got poisoned by the xb700, and say no to my mk2 reservation
will check if they also have a demo unit of the XB700 and test them both. i'm not into bass but i love to test and feel the bass these headphones produce. =)
yes. Test them both. It will be nice to hear more inputs.
