I put some vid (800kbps) to my new player and ... so much artifacts, the vids play on my comp is ok but when i play it on Zen, it's so bad. My old Iriver Clix doesn't have much artifacts like this. And soud quality is not good too, bass is week, high is not very extended, nothing special. P/s...

I planning to buy a new mp3 player to replace my old player iRiver T10 . My experience: iriver t10 is good at high, mid and incredible detail but it lack bass, the bass is flat, roll off, even with EQ. I also own a iRiver Clix gen 1 and it sounds very good, with df eq, it still sounds very good...

@venus: how does the sound of t10 compare to zen:M? How is the bass? The most important with me is the bass because i must live with ad900 a bass shy headphone, and i'm not satisfy. I'm planning to buy a new mp3 player and t10 is quite cheap here, if the bass is good maybe i will try it.

Can you post some pics? My English is so bad that i don't understand much

I haven't heard a lot headphones but with me, the AD900 have a really sweet mid, it's the most exciting part of it, and the vocal sounds fantastic.

@PP312: Compare Koss KSC 75 to AT-AD900, the biggest different is the mid, AD900 has a very beautiful midrange, i love it very much. May be the problem is different taste. @Others: thanks for reply, i think i will buy both the sound card and amp, because i think most people at head-fi have at...

Thanks for the answer, but between DAC and amp, which one is more important? Why?

*bump*

*Bump*

Another questions: amp and dac both improve the sound quality so what's the different between them? Which is more important to the sound? With the headphone that doesn't improve a lot with an amp, spend money on sound card or DAC is better idea? Does the AD900 have large sound stage? I think...

Yeah, this headphone is so damn sexy , it looks much better than the a900. My source is mostly 192kbps - 320kbps. My clix will arrive in few day, do you guy think it's better source? And with the same money, which one should i upgrade: an amp or a sound card? P/s: now, it's much better: the mid...

The first time i put the ATH-AD900 in my head, i thoght the sound would be wonderful but it's not. Yes, it's better than the KSC-75 in all way but i think the Koss can do 70% of the AT . I know my source is bad but the AD900 is a good headphone without a amp . I purchased this from a guy who...

I have just got this can with a fantastic price 100$ , it's a second hand one. Does this one improve a lot with an amp?

I know that the best headphone setup can't stand a chance with the best speaker setup but i only want to compare them at the same price (<<< 500$) because my friend told me that the altec lansing cs-1 (100$) sounds likes a 20$ headphone.

I was wondering if the speaker klipsch promedia GMX can sound as good as the headphone at the same price like sen hd 580? Only in term of sound quality.

These are real image of my koss box: In last pic, it writes "made in china". Is this normal? I have just give it to my friend and he have the same feeling like me. I doubt that this is a fake one >_<. Any idea?

I bought this Koss with a very cheap price: just 15$ in vietnam so i think may be it's fake? The box looks like this: In the box, it writes: lifetime warranty. The headphone jack is yellow. Cable length is about 1,2 m.

I'm burning in it by playing audio normally but my friend told me that there is a software to burn in headphones. Do you know it?

I'm burning in it, after some days, i will post my impression with it.

And does koss 75 have a volume control? Mine doesn't have volume control.

Wow, thanks kramer, may be i'm too hasty. I will try listen to it more. And i feel that it's quite hard to wear this headphone, this is the first time i use a clip on so if i don't wear it in the right way, will it sound bad?
