So after a couple months I finally decided to try on the AD900x's again before I sell and for some reason they don't hurt my ear anymore. Which was the only reason I was planning on selling them in the first place. I have been using the DT880s for about two months now and like the sound they...

Could someone explain to me what Bass Distortion is?

My dt880s just came in and when I first put them on I was blown away. They sound pretty damn good. My HD 555s just sound so flat and neutral compared to these. The ear pads are extremely comfortable. Not quite as comfortable as the 555s but almost there! Fits a lot better than the AD900x's. But...

Will a Creative Sound Blaster Z drive these alright?

Quote: I think it was just the pads touching the ears is what makes them uncomfortable for me. Sure the pads on the AD900x are soft but like I said, they touch my ears and cause me to get a headache for unknown reasons. My 555s don't touch them at all.

How long is that going to last?  

So are these pretty much only $349? I haven't been able to find these any cheaper.  

Quote: Well the AD900xs are the first that I've worn that actually touches my ears.

Quote: Yeah, maybe I should of listened to your words of advice. Once I sell this thing I will probably end up getting the MA900s. The pads don't touch the ear right?

So after listening for about 7 hours total with my new AD900x and Sound Blaster Z card it is quite a step up from the HD555s and on-board audio. The only issue is that I can't wear these for more than 30 minutes without getting a headache. While the bottom part of my ear feels "alright" it just...

Quote: Yeah they ship real quick. Order went through on Wednesday and was in the US by noon Friday. I was really surprised because I was sure I wasn't getting them until Monday.

Quote: Yeah they will. I E-mailed Audio-Technica and they said they could fix it if I had any problems.

Has anyone compared the AD900x to the AD1000x? I might as well just go for the AD1000x since it was in my original budged if imported from Japan.

Just emailed Audio-Technica asking if they could fix a broken AD900X from Japan. They said they could. So I assume they can fix all of the AD series. Brb saving my wallet.

http://waa.ai/0AQ   Is this from the US?

Thanks a bunch. How do those two winged whatever things feel on your head? I have a small head.

Could someone do me a huge favor and take a picture of their adxxxXs with a standard size cd next to them? I need to compare sizes. Also are the two things on top that attatch the left and right side together made out of metal or plastic?

Yes I live in the US. But how do you know that the AD900Xs are going to be cheaper than Japan?

Not sure if this has answered already but if I were to order a pair AD900X's from Japan and they didn't work, do I have warranty and if I did would I have to send them back to Japan?

I have been looking around for a soundcard after I learned that DACs turn everything into stereo which isn't too great for gaming. Would it be better to get something like the Xonar DG or DGX + Magni? Or would I be better off getting a a more expensive soundcard with a built in amp. My budget...

So I am still considering on buying some new headphones. Currently I have a pair of HD555s. I have been looking at the HD598s and the Q701s and now the AD900x. I don't know which one to get. They all seem good.   What I listen to- Mainly Female Artist. Alternative, Rock, Pop, Ambient...

I am currently using an asus motherboard as my audio output. Will a fiio e07k drive these properly or should I just get the e9k amp and have the audio output be the motherboard?

Also I have another question. I have noticed people saying they have bought these headphones for as low as $179. Everywhere I have looked they are only $249 new or around $200 used. Where should I go to buy these?

So I may be purchasing some 598s soon and I am wondering what amp to get. I am currently running my audio off of my asus motherboard. Would I need to get a soundcard first before I use a amp? My budget would be around $100, $120 max. Thanks.
