CBG Posted September 13, 2009 Author Share Posted September 13, 2009 yeah, well Sennheiser are a gd bet.I'm a bit pissed off that apparantly the xone xd 53s are a rebadged AT Pro 700, which is very believable when you compare the pics and the specs, but im not convinced and I reckon A&H would have improved on the build quality.

CBG Posted September 15, 2009 Author Share Posted September 15, 2009 got them today. Bloody awesome headhones, bass is amazingly smooth, mids are crisp and highs are nice and defined.zThey do sit a big low on my ears, but that cant really be fixed unless i wear a hat.
