The RX900's are definitely the best bang-for-buck but they're not as comfortable as the HD555's and aren't better, they're about the same but the RX900's have more bass. To some this might be good, to some might be bad.
I'd say it looks something like this RX900=HD555=AD700 RX700=HD515=AD500
I definitely recommend the RX's if you can find them and can endure their ugliness.
#7 Lots of peeps prefer HD555's over AD700's and RX900's over HD555's.
It's preference and for that price I'd take the RX900's over AD700's anyday. I mean, I agree with you AD700's are generally better quality but for that price sh*t... it's a no brainer.
#8 You're retarded and your opinion doesn't really matter.
While your JVC headphones do provide some good quality for the price, harlE, you still can't put them in the same league as the Sennheiser or Audio-Technica cans that you are. The JVC's are closed-eared and have a smaller soundstage and a lesser quality sound reproduction than the open-eared ones.
I've worn and tried all but the RX700's and HD515's. The JVC's suffer the same with most closed-eared in that they make your ears rather warm and sweaty after 30m~ of use, and it's been the same with many others that I know who've got them and decided to step up to AD700's or HD555's. For those with wider ears, the speaker in the cans doesn't sit all that deep and has put pressure on the ears, which obviously can get rather uncomfortable after a while. The HD555's and AD700's are very comfortable.
This is why there's a price difference. In no way are the JVC's bad for their price, but it's understandable why they are less expensive. In every headphone thread you poke your head in, it seems you just ride the dick of these JVC's like no other and give people the false impression that they are as good of quality.
#10 I've seen 10 peeps praising these cans for every person saying they suck.
Like I said, I do agree HD555's are more comfortable and so are the AD700's, HD555's sound different, AD700's generally sound better.
There's just not enough of it to justify the dramatic price increase especially considering the amount of people who claim they prefer their RX's over their HD555's, over AD700's and even HD650's.
Why I put the headphones in the same category? Just because that's my f*cking opinion considering my experience with the headphones and just the general feedback I've seen from numerous sites.
Why don't you f*ck off and tell #3 he gives you a "false impression", he's comparing the RX900's with the AD900's. My post was to correct his (without insulting him, which you guys like to do).
I can easily put these cans in the same category as HD555's and AD700's because my graph is obviously in terms of performance per price (value), not only performance.
TBH I'd say it's rather something like this. RX900 > AD700 = HD555
In terms of performance, comfort and looks, definitely AD700 > HD555 > RX900's
I too have read numerous audiophile forums, and there's pros and cons to each pair of cans dependent on their price and the difference of them being closed vs. open-eared affecting the sound stage and reproduction. For some, the price difference isn't too much to cringe over.. I've seen the AD700's/HD555's as low as $85 numerous times, so $30 isn't much to ask over. Of course it comes to preference of if that is worth it for better comfort and weighing the advantages/disadvantages of closed vs open-eared headphones. Some will prefer the price difference if they're fully informed, but it always just seems like you provide people with the one-sided "GO FOR JVC!" approach in every thread; I simply like to inform people and not just simply push them to any one pair since my tastes will differ from theirs.

Just to name a few.
Plus I'm the one who introduced these kick ass budget earphones to the Gotfrag public. So sure, hate me for it, but they deserve to be here among HD555's and AD700's over anything from Razsh*t, Sh*tSeries or Sh*tberias.
I wasn't trolling, you were just the dolt that compared shopping online for a pc to buying the same or similar pc at Best Buy. Obviously the latter would be more expensive, turbo.
You're the one who said his comp was "overpriced" when he didn't give a price.
Now re-read this:
QUOTE:Sure you can build a better system yourself and save some money but don't say this is a rip-off.
To have something remotely similar in performance and quality you'd have to pay something close to 1500$ at BestBuy or any major store so in no way is it a rip-off.
Stop your bullshit, no one wants to hear it.
And explain to me why you felt the need to say this:
QUOTE:Harle, sftu and stop comparing apples to oranges.
Did he post this on a best buy forum?
Who gives a damn what it could cost at a retail chain, because people who frequent this site are more likely to use sites such as newegg.
Considering people were calling the computer a "scam" or "overpriced" Saying everyone on this site knows how to build computers is retarded, a good amount of people on this site still use Dells/Acers etc...
You need some better comprehension skills, go back to school or something.
#22 Cool, good job. Did anyone say you can't buy anything cheaper, oh wait, I specifically said "Sure you can build a better system yourself and save some money but don't say this is a rip-off. "
No I'm not saying your spelling is wrong, I'm saying no one can understand what you mean by "so overpriced".
It's not clear enough, seemed to me like you thought he was selling it for $1350.
I didn't say it was a ripoff. I said it was overpriced, which it was. What are you struggling with?

I wasn't talking to you when I said it's not a rip-off..
You just felt the need to come out of nowhere with your little "omg harle you're comparing apples with oranges" comment.
It's not overpriced, you get what you pay for, and especially not overpriced if you compare it to a Dell or other mainstream computer, that's not comparing apples to oranges, that's just reality.
Like I said many people still use Dells etc.. just because you don't doesn't mean everyone doesn't.
Yeah, yeah, definitely come on here copy-pasting from a dictionary, LOL I'm pretty damn sure you understood what I meant and I'm pretty sure "writing skills" exists too =)
It's worth what it's worth, and it's got better value than a Dell =)
Yes it's overpriced in terms of value if you compare it to the best deal you can find on the internet, doesn't mean it's overpriced if you compare it to the average price someone pays for their computers =)
Kinda like I did about the RX900's, the difference is that I never said AD700's are overpriced, I just said RX900's are the best deal for the price if you don't mind their ugliness.
Instead of being an idiot and saying "OMG OVERPRICED WTFBBQ" you can try to help others out by bringing some cheaper alternative to the table, which you apparently never did.
You're comparing the best deal you could find on the AD700 to the base price of a RX900. (unless you got that deal on your AD700 from some obscure website I'm not aware of, and that is still valid)
Chances are you could find a brand new RX900 in garage sale for 1$, would that mean the RX900 is a better deal?
I'm poor as FCUK, which is why i prefer the RX900. Though HD555 / HD595 feel like god is touching your ears. It's like saying GSP can whoop Anderson Silva in a fight, they are different categories. "Pound-for-Pound" = "Bang-for-Buck"
#40, we're not talking if you can pick them up your local store, but the "universal pricing" of the headphones. what if the RX900 were on sale for $10, you would argue back
BTW, do you guys know what headsets the swedish teams like sk and fnatic use? NOT the crappy 5HV2, the ones that look like they are pilots
#44, people's opinions change considering many factors, if bill gates wanted headphones he would say that the AKG K702's are the best, though someone like me would think RX900 is better.

hd555 ad700 sb aud4?
They are comparable to the ATH-AD900 which are better than the AD700
I'd say it looks something like this
RX900=HD555=AD700
RX700=HD515=AD500
I definitely recommend the RX's if you can find them and can endure their ugliness.
RX900's for $55 shipped... all I gotta say.

If you're low on $$$
RX700's for $33 shipped...
http://www.buy.com/prod/jvc-ha-rx700-ster..
It's preference and for that price I'd take the RX900's over AD700's anyday.

Therefore I assume you don't have a clue what you're talking about.
Not only that, but you were trolling in that Shuttle PC thread =)
And

That was fun.
#10?
Read this again:
Wait for it....wait for it....
Shipping? Taxes?
Get some writing skills too while you're at it.
"so overpriced" woohoo, so clear.
Oh, and that word you're looking for - grammar. You're welcome, turbo.
I know that four months ago I built a PC that poops on the one described, paid NJ taxes from Newegg, shipping, and was cheaper.
No I'm not saying your spelling is wrong, I'm saying no one can understand what you mean by "so overpriced".
It's not clear enough, seemed to me like you thought he was selling it for $1350.

You were comparing apples to oranges, and what you did is a common problem with people trying to use analogies as examples.
And yes, it is overpriced. Look at his target market. Overpriced
How can it even be overpriced if that's the price he paid?
I think you're comparing apples to oranges sir!
LOL. You can't be serious.
It's worth what it's worth, and it's got better value than a Dell =)

Stop trying to use a linear argument between this thread and the pc thread.
I think it's more humorous that you put RX900=HD555=AD700.
I paid $15 more for my AD700s, brand new with shipping included, than the price of the RX900s on Newegg. Gtfo, simpleton.
You're comparing the best deal you could find on the AD700 to the base price of a RX900.
(unless you got that deal on your AD700 from some obscure website I'm not aware of, and that is still valid)
Chances are you could find a brand new RX900 in garage sale for 1$, would that mean the RX900 is a better deal?
LOLudum?!?
Why don't we just compare the RX900's base price to the AD700's base price?
In which care the RX900 is the better deal (as far as I know which is why I claim the RX900 is better in terms of value)
If you can find me your secret deal again, then I'll agree with you that the AD700 is better, sounds good?
AD700 88.92 shipped [+ 61.70%]
HD555 93.98 shippid [+70.90%]
That's pretty good, I'm still not convinced, but I'd get AD700's over HD555's definitely.
BTW, do you guys know what headsets the swedish teams like sk and fnatic use? NOT the crappy 5HV2, the ones that look like they are pilots
Why didn't you just say something along the lines of
"Hey you can get AD700's for 80$ at Electronics Expo if there's one near you"
in your first couple posts instead of going
