I'll definitely try those after the comets, seems like I could get something nearing my AD900s in a low price IEM form. Thanks for the recommendation

Would you suggest the comets over the Fiio FH5 if both are equal price?

I've never dropped more than 100-130 on earbuds as I always used my headphones at home but I'm now out of the house all day and have been consistently had earbud wires break after about a year of use as none have been braided. Budget: 300$ CAD Isolation: I doubt it's possible to get as good...

I'm not sure if this is normal with them however the sound quality on mine even after burn-in feels incredibly poor. Everything is extremely muddied and very unclear from the lows to highs, should I contact phillips about this? They sound pretty good once I heavily eq them but using them on...

each number is just how much dB I went up on my equalizer going from lowest to highest freq

Just got my pair last night and maybe it's because I'm used to clean headphones at this point however  on flat eq the high end seems extremely lacking and it feels like I'm underwater almost. Not sure if it will improve with burn in or it's just something I should get used to but I just went...

just ordered the x2, thanks for heads up on the sale since it saved me a lot of money has anyone tried different earpads with them? was considering some memoryfoam ones since it might improve usage with glasses more

I'm looking for a new pair of headphones after a long time with my AD900s and wanted my next pair to be as comfortable as possible with glasses as it's been a constant pain in the ass over the years getting headaches from 5-6+ sessions which happen quite often. In terms of sound profile...

Quote:   Music, just about anything (probably heavy instrumental the most), games FPS I think I'll go with the DG if it doesn't have any problems with windows7/64 (Also just found it for 15$ after MIR which definitely makes it worth the price)

Quote: I found the Xonar DS for 40$, does that simulated 7.1 improve the soundstage? Or just go with the DG Was just curious because the DG has an amp

I've recently wanted to upgrade from my sb audigy 2(lol) but everything I've looked at xonar essence stx, auzentech forte and that's really all that's caught my eye so far to be used with my AD900s. Is there any others I'm missing? The forte is 100$ exact CAD but I also don't know if there's...

What amp would you suggest to go with the ad900s preferably adding a bit more bass (Also looking for something for a 200$ budget)

And sorry for the random question but do they AD900s come with a small stand?

Also would the AuzenTech Forte be a good match for the AD900s?

Quote: Originally Posted by flexium open has weaker bass usually. AD900 don't benefit much from amping. But from what I have heard around here AD900 is much better than a900 even though open have not as much bass is it still noticeable? or is it as bad as the lets say steelseries...

Well I heard the a/d700s have nearly no bass as it is so I want to try to milk as much bass as I can from these since I listen to that type of music edit: i found a place to get the ad900s for 260 cad so that means I can get a amp/dac or a soundcard, but being a newb to audio I don't know...

Well I'm looking into buying audio technica 900s and was wondering which one would be better in general, the A900s are 240 on audiocubes and AD900s are 310 on audiocubes, my budget is around 325 for headphones+amp but I can grab an amp or a soundcard in a few months that's in the 150+ range. But...

Well I can find AD700s new for 99$ but the only thing is I heard they don't do well with dance and stuff like that, basically I kind of want to cap this at 300-325 without shipping, if I get the AD900s I can't return them which is the thing I'm worried about, anyone else have some suggestions...

Quote: Originally Posted by Shimmer You could also try for AD700. The AD900 are said to be an upgrade in almost every way, but since you are just starting out I am not sure if the upgrade is worth the money in this case. However, the AD700 are fairly bass shy, and probably not so good...
