Audio Need help choosing headphones

^^ Umm he mentioned 4200 !!! Anyways you made a good choice with the JVC. They are considered to be on par with the A900 which is far more expensive (cant verify that since I have neither, but when it comes from so many people on head-fi I believe it to be true.)

Oh yea, sorry i missed it.

HeadFi is in awe of both the JVCs Afaik... but very few have mentioned the actual difference between both of them or i may have not understood the jargon used there. Can someone enlighten here?
 
^^from wt i read rx 900 has larger cans giving somewhat better bass...otherwise both are same and both produce excellent bass as needed by u:p
 
Deep Bass = i am happy. :D

But i am still stuck at one question that no one has yet answered :|

Will they sound good with Xonar DX :p
 
:mad: :mad: I still have an option to sell them off. Not if i open them.. so you better tell me or else I will come to Baroda and snatch "MY" computer from you :lol:
 
Xonar DX drives the RX700 without any issues. The RX900 should be just about fine. If you feel they need some amp-ing, you can start off with a cheap Fiio Amp. There's a wild argument/discussion here - http://www.techenclave.com/audio-zone/discussion-about-the-fiio-amp-139671-2.html. :p

Use the Xonar DX + RX900 as a cheap starting point. Your setup will definitely be miles ahead of all the Rs. 1000 - 2000 locally available headphones running on onboard sound solutions. Give them a week or two to burn-in.

Once you know you like what you hear, you can go ahead and buy the Xonar Essence STX, a more expensive amp and headphone.

Its not 'better' bass. Its boomier bass and slightly deeper bass. Depends on your tastes.
 
^ just what i like ;)

the only problem with RX900 is that they are not going to be portable. People would laugh if i wear it outside my house :S
