I actually have no muddiness with the 1.0

I was shocked by how good they sound

If they don't that's good to hear, I'm only going by what I've read so I can't really say but these sound phenomenal compared to the Lasmex L90s that I brought up a couple of weeks ago and those were really great headphones too.

I was about to pull the trigger on the $200 BF Meze 99 Neos but now I'm curious about the DXB-04s. Anyone else around here heard both? I'm a sucker for wood but don't want to pay $310 for Meze 99 Cs. Getting equivalent or better sound than the Meze offerings for $99 would be nice.

@PinkyPowers review which led me to getting these. The review was spot on.

If you ask in that thread I think there are a couple of people who may have heard both...

Thanks. He does state that the 99 C and Neo are upgrades. However, reading the summary at the end, I'm not sure that the Neo would warrant the extra $100.

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

Hmm, tempting but I know I wouldn't really need them. Impressed with my Emu Purplehearts I just got in so far, so perhaps I shall ride that wave for awhile.

I love the looks of that DXB-04...and I also love the look of my Neo plus the comfort and sound.

I almost got them but I didn't want a flimsy plastic build and the cables aren't detachable.

They do have their own thread.

I have known about these and am sad that they only ship in the USA

Do you mean they refuse to ship out of US (ie, EU countries)? Even w/shipping cost added?

I have a pal in Milan area who might really like these. But since the only place to buy these seems to be DD Audio, he'd have to buy from them...?

I was unable to find anything about international shipping.

They're full sized, they're Asian and they're mine


Looks as if I'm done with my BF shopping already lol. $175 brand new with a two year warranty, can't complain about that.

Congratulations! Looking forward to your impressions. I did a quick search and could not find a price in the states even close to that price.

Thanks mate! It was indeed a great deal, original price over here was $500. I've auditioned them once before several months ago and was really impressed with the sound but thought the price was too steep so this was a no brainer for me

That is a great price, where did you get that deal if I may ask?

It was a in store deal only from a major store chain over here (think Best Buy), they're clearing their inventory to add a B&O line instead.......

They're really great so far, like a love child with the X2's and HD650 as partens. I can't help thinking that Onkyo/Gibson made a huge mistake not making the design more conservative.
