is there any Astrotec product that isn't universally scorned or receiving mixed reviews? This is why I didn't pull the trigger on the AX-60, and settled on the DUNU DN-1000 instead.

Well, mainly the lower end - the am800 but the competition is pretty stiff in this price range. When the am90 was released it was also pretty good for its price. I guess dunu are just picking up their game  coz they mainly became famous for cheap iems with great build quality and decent sound and now with the dn1000 even the VSonic's CEO refrained from his usual full-on bashing like he does with his competitors' products and like he usually does with astrotec but he generally seems to have a pretty low opinion on astrotec and their technical abilities and knowledge.

VSonic  needs to come out with the VSD3 already, so i can buy it.

Ever wonder why HiFiMan has never come out with a dual dynamic where they use the driver tuning of the RE0 coupled with a retuned RE acting as a LF driver? Wouldn't this become the most popular dynamic on the planet, and make HiFiMan mountains of cash??? Seems pretty elementary to me.

Can't say anything to that, but it would certainly be interesting.

  do you work for HiFiMan? Are you hiding information?!?!?! :wink:

Huh? I don't get what you're saying. XD
 
But anyway...I'm making this really, really extensive review project which I'm probably going to be working on for the next several weekends leading up to my 1-year anniversary. I think I posted it here:

Hoping it doesn't bother you guys, I thought it'd be worth revisiting the headphone which graces my avatar...and reviewing it repeatedly each week to form a final summary. I don't know why I did this, but I thought it would actually be more accurate and more firm to its statement in the final product. Hope you like it so far.

Hey Guys, been awhile. So apparently, Audio Technica is bringing audiophile grade headsets into the gamer market. Which I think is a great step forward, lots of gamers are willing to pay for good quality audio gear but there's just not much choice on the market.

Interesting. To me the description of these headphones sound just like the A900X. they kinda look like them too but with a Mic. I used many a AT cans for gaming and while it is smart for AT to get into gaming headsets. Truth be told all you have to do is stick a mic on a much cheaper A900X or AD900X. I am gonna doubt if these new gaming phones will actually sound better for gaming. But I am sure people will buy these and rave about how good they sound for games. But so does my A900Xn AD900X is my point. Seems they are milking their tech. Might as well.

Exactly. It's an untapped market, especially looking at how they will be practically unparalleled in SQ based on most of their competitors, like Astro and Razer. But then again Sennheiser already have the G4ME series gaming headsets, should prove to be a decent show if nothing else
