New XD53's

[Jaz]

just a quick thread as im getting paranoid, just got my 53's in the mail at 4:30 because i couldnt ride my moto back with them yesterday because it was pissing down with rain

anyway, ive been fucking round with them. still very comfy, still very loud, but i dunno if its because they are still new and need to be burn/run in but ive been doing back and forth comparisons with my Sony MDRV-700's and the sony's seem to have more low end....ill admit that when i tested the 53's at StoreDJ Bris they deffinately sounded alot more Bassy and more "whole" as a sound then my new ones....are they gonna improve with the wear in? any others found this?

the xd's are deffo more comfy and have alot more volume....just getting worried as they seemed better at SDJ

they are probably giving you a much better representation of the sound.

The low end might be 'less' but its probably a lost more clear.

[Jaz]

the Whole sound is deffinately better, the 700's just seem to have more of an initial Kick when a bass beet drops....meh hopefully they improve or my paranoia goes away

cheers

trust me man, all over clarity the xd's dominate, i've compared the two headphones ur talking about and i just couldnt use the 700s.

try turning them up 2/3 volume and watch what happens to the 700s. thats where the xd's shine.

I have those fuckers cranked for hrs when i play and they still go as hard as the day i bought them

and one thing ive found is the not the cheapest but not the quality headphones always have really good low end but usually to seem louder then they are and it masks the lack of clarity.

my skullcandys are really bassy as but ill take the xd 53s any day of the week

yeh i have mine cranked bout 2/3 as well and the clarity is amazing, i do fear im going deaf though i seem to crank it a little bit louder everytime i play

Cheers lads

so a number of people who actually knew a thing or two about mixing had the option of using XD53s and HDJ2000s on the weekend at a party, and EVERY one of them went for the XD53s and rated them much better than the HDJ's.

i bet Pioneer is pissed

[lloydc]

lol doubt that... way to many pioneer fan boys out there

[Jaz]

even fan boys get wise with age though...im sure there billion $ company helps them sleep at night though
