Dsnuts, What type of pads are on your AD900's? Looking to try different pads on the AD900X, to see if the sound may change, if I can find some that fit!
Ds,
How are those CKN50s treating you? Don't recall seeing a full on review\ impression on them as the ES700 seem to have gotten most of the love. I do remember you saying that AT has really upped their game so maybe some of that will be translated down to their two newer and cheaper offerings CLR100 and COR150 at $15 and $20 MSRP respectively. CLR is clear while COR is Core Bass. Seems like something to put out on the radar.

Well I know pleather AT pads will fit them and give out much more bass.. But for me at least it is hard to argue with the comfort on these pads. Also have you tried not putting on all them sound enhancements on your equipment to hear these out straight? The reason why I ask this is because. I know you like your sound enhancement.. If you look at the driver face there is a metal grill that is cone in shape while being angled.. This gives a natural space 3D type sound to your tunes. I am thinking with all that stuff you got going on you might be over doing it on these cans. I think maybe on lesser cans you might need them enhancements but these don't. Just a thought. Might want to try that if you haven't.
Something I found out yesterday. The cups on the AD900X is so big and with the angled drivers you have to have the right cup placement over your ears for the best sound.. What I mean is. I noticed when moving around the cups I get all sorts of different sound shifts. Sound gets thinner and less full the more back to my head I have the cup vs the more front I have my cups on the head.
The back of my ears touch the back of the deep pads and it is at this point I am getting the best sound. For the guys that own them or about to own them give this a try. It will surprise you. It makes sense as the drivers are angled toward the back of the cups instead of the front.
Are SHE 3500 any different from SHE 3580 in quality??
Lol. Cute. I expect nothing less.. And you are no where near done punching out the drivers. I think 100 hours is just the beginning. 53mm drivers in the raw is what were talking about so. Let them drivers have it.
I was gonna say cute. Your a vocal lover and if you can't hear the brilliance of these cans with female vocals. Well your drivers aren't quite there yet so I will give you the benefit of the doubt here. But if these cans don't completely immerse in the most gorgeous female vocal presentation I have no idea what does. Once you hear them vocals using that stage. It is over.
Yes. I have tried and owned many of the Philips earphones and the SHE9700 while an older earphone design over the SHE3580 was actually an improvement because of the more spacious housing it uses and is also vented. The sound has a bit more room to breathe and has some really nice bass on them too. I would look them up. I have no idea about the SHE3500. Never tried them.
ok thanks but unfortunately SHE9700 here in greece cost 50euros so maybe i am going to order them from ebay! thanks a lot! i also like monoprices design but to order them here in greece is too expensive...
