AD900 is not neutral. Sure, bass has some slam but music has no body at all and the much - revered soundstage is artificially wide and completely flat, it has no depth at all. AD900 excels with detail delivery and lovely mids, but the rest is basically a deal breaker.   Disclailmer: it was...

Great review, thanks.

Perhaps some meeting in the grim north?

Is AD1000 any better in bass department?

HD600 is the answer!

HD595 and 2D sound? It's almost the same headphone as hd598 (which you marvelled about) and imaging is almost holographic!

Lows in the same realm as the M50? I found ad700 almost completely bassless comparing to m50...

Ear cleaning can do miracles. On my ad900 mids became much more balanced.

Mine don't care at all, they have their own interest...

Let's not forget the all-time classic, PortaPro :)

The common reaction is just a polite smile, my GF can't see the difference between ibuds and my ad900...

I'm also quite interested in HD600 vs HD598 comparison, is soundstage and feeling of space of HD600 similar to the one of HD598?

I had them for a while, they were way too dry for the proper enjoyment of music. Analysing imperfections of recording yes, actual listening to the music - no.
