    I'm replacing my A900s with K272HDs. Will I be disappointed?

    My Audio Technica A900 headphones made it five and a half years of pretty much constant daily use (maybe 10-12 hours a day).  But in the last few months the arm holding the ear cup to the band has failed on both sides so I think it's time to retire them.  I wanted to try something new, and have...

    My ATH-A900s are starting to creak a lot. What is the best way to quiet them down?

    My A900s are getting older, and over the past few months have started to make a lot of creaking noises when I move my head.  Is something like a silicone lubricant the best option?  Or is there something better suited for plastic that doesn't leave a mess?  maybe a graphite powder?

    Best choice for a 250-300$ closed can?

    Based purley on reviews (I haven't heard any of them), I'm leaning toward the D2000.  I really want to try a set of Ultrasones, but I've heard some people say that they can be slightly uncomfortable after a while.  I've on;y ever heard good things about the Denons.

    Best choice for a 250-300$ closed can?

    I've been looking for basically the same thing.   My short list includes the Denon D2000, Beyerdynamic DT770 (32 ohm), and the Ultrasone HFI 780.  I have Audio Technica ATH A900s now, but I think they stopped making them.  If the A700 are anything like them, they are great.  I can't see how...

    My A900s just cracked while on my head. (need possible replacement suggestions)

    That doesn't sound bad at all.  I wonder if I could tell them to replace the pads with the better pleather pads.  probably not.

    How much did it cost for the repair?  The form says its $30 just for an estimate.

    What exactly is involved in getting these repaired?  I bought them from audiocubes.com in '07.  Are they still under any sort of warranty?  Would I have to send them back to Japan?

    My A900s just cracked while on my head. (need possible replacement suggestions)

    My A900s just made a popping sound while I was wearing, them and when I took them off to inspect them, one of the support arms for the right ear cup had a large crack running though it, and the cup was noticeably looser on that ear.  I super glued the crack, and I'm hoping that they will stay...

    Review by 'SpacemanSpiff23' on item 'Audio-Technica ATH-A900 Headphones'

    The A900s are my first set of headphones that I spent more than $20 on, so I don't really have much to compare them to.  They sound great and are very comfortable.  it's like wearing a big pillow of sound on your head.  I've worn them almost every day for the last 3 and a half years and the show...

    Looking for the best un-amped, closed, circumaural headphones for around $200.

    Thanks for the info. I didn't realise the D2000s were so expensive, How are the D1000s?

    Looking for the best un-amped, closed, circumaural headphones for around $200.

    I was considering the 780s. I was also looking at the following... AKG K271S Beyerdynamic DT770-80 Denon AH-D2000 Eguation RP21 Ultrasone 500 series (i don't know much about Ultrasones yet.) Do any of these stand out as sounding exceptionally good or bad without an amp?

    Looking for the best un-amped, closed, circumaural headphones for around $200.

    These will be used primarily for classic rock, and gaming. I have already owned a set of A900s, which I loved, but I'd like to try something a little different.

    Need some workshop headphones.

    Try some earbuds/IEMs, and then put big ear muffs over top of them.
