These phones lack a tad in the mids department, but has the traditional AT house sound - treble and bass. As such, they're great for hip hop and eletronica.

Quote: The ones quoted are the SR225 not the SR225i.

They are based on several factors. MSRP, market demand (whether they have been discontinued and/or in high demand), average second-hand prices on this forum, and average second-hand prices on Ebay.   Quote: PS. I'm working on a charted version that will examine the price trend...

So i constructed a list of average used headphones prices. This should be useful for those just entering the used gear market. Let me know if i have anything wrong on the list.   Prices do not include shipping. Prices in US Dollar and are based on excellent condition of the equipment.  ...

If you listen to electronica, get the denon instead, mainly for its more pronounced bass.

Seems like bad QC. Or perhaps ask the handlers put on some gloves?

Hi nick, first thing first. Get rid of your Bose equipment, and test out some Sennheiser stuff if you prefer a more laid-back, darker, full-house sound.

Anyone knows how the 1792A (STX dac chip) compares to the AK4396 miracle DAC chip?

The headphone-out on the 0404usb is not sufficient to drive high-end headphones. The 0404usb is known for its dac-lineout and not for its headphone amp.

Definitely a great review, Skylab! Very detailed and set with the aim to be neutrual.

If only the S9 has wi-fi capability, then it would be perfect.
