Hey guys, just picked up a pair of AD900s and just as I remembered with the AD700, the clamp force is a bit big for my head.  Has anyone here successfully increased the clamp force on these headphones?  I'm a bit hesistant to juset straightup bend the wired headband since I don't want to risk...

I'd like your expert thoughts on using the Shure 535 IEMs for gaming. Specifically for positional accuracy playing FPS games.   Recently I went on a bit of a mission to get a great audio setup for positional accuracy when playing my favourite game Battlefield 3 (PS3). I ended up getting the...

Hi all,    Brand new to the forums though i have been reading a good amount over the last few days.   I have just ordered a 5.1 sound system for my PS4 which will hopefully be coming later this year.    ...

So just gonna jump in with some Info: Budget: $200~$300. Source: Asus P8Z68-V ATX LGA1155 Motherboard or an Astros Mixamp connected via usb 3.0. Isolation: It's a home office, so isolation is of no concern. Preferred Type: Over ear full sized. I have a large head and prefer the...

Hi, a few months ago I bought my first headphones (Creative Aurvana Live), the sound is pretty good but, they make too much pressure in my head and my ears hurts a lot, I need something more comfortable. For me comfort is as important as the sound, I don't know if the Sennheiser HD 439 or...

I recently bought a pair of AD700 and a Xonar DG sound card for FPS gaming. I would like to know what are the best settings to use with the DG in order to hear and identify footsteps. I'm not sure if this is the correct place to ask, but I think it's the closest. Any help would be useful. :)

Hi guys,   While I love my current HD428s, I am looking into buying a pair of open backed headphones.  I also would like to buy a (somewhat) portable amp to power them and my HD428s.  My top 3 options for my budget are the Grado SR60i's and SR 80i's or the Sennheiser HD 558's.  I mainly...

I'm mainly using these headphones for gaming (cs:go) and music. I heard that the AD 700 lacks bass, but does it still have a stronger kick than the jvc? The CAL sounds like a good overall headset for gaming/music/movies but it doesn't look too comfortable. Something that I do care about is the...

I need some buying advice for getting a pair of cans near $100 price range 95% for music.I mostly listen to classic rock,blues guitar,phsychedelic rock,female vocals  mostly things without a lot of bass with occasional pop  song.I have limited option as most cans are overpriced here.I don't want...

I'm interested in buying IE8 because I've heard that it has great soundstage but how is it compared to Audio-Technica AD700 which I like how wide it sounds?

I currently have a pair of heavily modded ath-ad700's with a creative recon3d fatil1ty sound card.   I am buying a set of beyerdynamic t5p's and the burson audio ha-160DS amplifier.   I will be giving my girlfriend my old set.   How much of a difference will i notice?   What...

So I am looking to replace my AD-700's that my dog ruined and I can't seem to properly fix and I'm trying to decide if I should go with another pair of AD-700's or if there is a comparable/better IEM for sound.  The budget is around $100 (Could spend more if I wanted but like to keep it under...

Alright, so I'm taking the plunge into high quality sound. I have been using some old Logitech headphones with mic for a long time and they just died. I am looking into getting a nice pair of headphones and a sound card. I plan on spending at the most $120 for the headphones and sound card. so...

I know I need a 4 channel cable and the tutorials I've seen are all a few years old and the Mogami cable they used is only sold in bulk. I'm an amazon.com prime member and would like to get the $4.00 overnight shipping and knock something out this weekend. Can somebody link me to a good...

I liked my AD700's but lacked a little bass, but loved the clarity.  The lack of bass was easily overlooked for me.  Now im needing to replace them because I cant repair them after a dog bit the cord and am wondering what would be the better choice between these 2 headphones.   Use: They...

Today, I splurged the second most amount of money for a pair of headphones (I'm getting rid of all of my vintage stock, just for 1 or 2 new ones) on the Audio-Technica AD700, a headset with boom mic (which will be used on the headphones, and some Velcro to attach it all. 100 bucks is the total...

Well... This is my first post so be kind. I purchased the ATH-AD700's from Amazon based on price and reviews here. After getting them and opening the box, I was taken back on how ugly these headphones really are! This will not due! So, after reading some of the mods tips, I decided to first do...

I've been casually shopping on and off for a good pair of headphones/headsets for a few months and I've compiled together a list of all the headphones/headsets I found and have seen recommended quite often. My problem now is that I'm a bit overwhelmed and could use some help in the decision...

I just upgraded from my JVC RX700s to AD700s, and I'm not very impressed. They do sound different, but not necessarily better.... maybe a little bit but not really noticeable. I'm not gaining any better positional audio in Bf3. I heard in reviews that there was a HUGE difference and it was...

Am looking for a pair of open headphones for use with my iPod and Laptop. Can anyone let me know which are the best between the three I have mentioned? I will use the Fiio E17 with them. Any other suggestions below £200 would also be helpful. Thanks

The title really says it all. Are there any cans out there that sound as great as the AD700's but with much deeper bass? Maybe even basshead levels. I'd say $300 is my budget.

I love my DT-250's, but I'm getting a bit bored of them.  I thought I might try out something a bit more lively.  I've tried Sennheiser and I find their sound like somebody switched on the Rock equaliser.  Quite hollow in the mids.  I've tried ATH-M50 and they sound amazing but on poor...

Hi all,   I'm totally new here and definitely not an audiophile or sound expert, but I was trying to see what the recommendations are for budget level headphones, purely for BF3. I want that soundstage everyone always talks about for positional accuracy, but also want some bass in the...

I want to get a pair of surround sound headphones for PC gameing. I have looked into the Astro A40's but I'm not convinced of the price. I heard that parting the AD700's with an Astro Mixamp will make a great pair of Surround sound headphones. Is this true and are they good for gameing?  I have...

Hey   I have been thinking getting a set of ATH AD700 headphones due to the rave reviews they have been getting here and elsewhere for some time now. I need them for gaming. 100% gaming.   I play FPS games on PS3 and do not have an Astro mixamp. I do however run my PS3 through HDMI to my...
