I have the ER-6 and have never tried any of the others mentioned here. While you are "steady" (bike, rowing, weights) the er6 are fine but start running or even walking and you will hear a hard "thud" with every step. Not nice unless you like running to the beat I don't think one can...

You won't be dissapointed with the A900. Mine arrived a few days ago approximately 10 days after placing the order. It's the best "gift" from Japan I've ever received... I have a Karma and it drives them pretty well. The sound is incredible with mp3 stuff, games and movies. I listen to punk...

Hi Terraphoenix- I've used my ER-6 foamies for almost 1 month (about 50-60 hours in total) and they are ready to go. Just ordered online a couple sets from ER. I've read that their lifespan depends a bit on how clean your ears/hands are when using them as well as type of activity (e.g...

Ordered today my very own A900 and I love Paco de Lucia. Can't wait to get them!!

Sorry, meant HD595. I guess I should already start thinking about my next purchase: open Senns.

Just ordered the A900. It was a hard decision between it and the SD595 but I guess closed headphones make more sense to me right now and the A900 reviews on this site were very appealing to me. On a side note, only a few months back I bought the ER-6 and now the A900. I've advised my...

Just ordered A900 from Audio Cubes!! Now the wait begins...

I've been vacilating between the HD595 and A900 for a week now but this thread does it. Clearly the A900 is the way to go (for me) considering my music tastes, intended use and low output sources: Karma, computer and entry level AV system (for the record: I love my Karma ;-) ). Dixie -...

Thanks Doug. I have a similarly 'ancient' card: Aureal Vortex 8830. I guess that too needs upgrading soon...

Thanks Donkey Roxor. Sorry for the response delay. Just finished major upgrade and now I'm back online (2am here on the east coast). I enjoy very much my ER-6 as well and I'm happy to hear that you have no issue driving your 580 with your Karma. I also plan use with soundcard and AV system...

Is not listed but if you search for HD-595 you'll find it. price is $191.37. Here's a straight link: http://www.buy.com/retail/product.as...0&sp=1&loc=111

Wow! That was a great review. Being quite a newbie myself is great to read a review in the language of the people, for the people. I learned a lot and had a few laughs I'm considering buying a $200 or so headphone and the A900 is in my final list. I also have the HD595 in mind but i'm...

Yes, you are right NightRaven. I reread the comment from gsferrari and it's more inline with your observation. Just in case others are wondering, that thread is here: http://www5.head-fi.org/forums/showt...threadid=67300 The possible lack of power to drive the 595 with my Karma still...

Yeah. 1 to 2 weeks shipping means "good luck!" I also just checked some 595 reviews in this forum and some posters insist the 595 needs an amp to be driven properly and recomended beatiful comfortable Grado's instead if unamped. Given that you also asked about amps in you post I assume you...
