Thanks everyone for the input. For some reason my motherboard on my  desktop must not be good enough to power these headphones because as Nec3 mentioned, the highs are sharp and not extended, almost zero bass and the mids are kind of messy. I know my laptop has some sort of headphone amp (or dac...

So I've had these for a few months now and oh man do I love them :D Love how I'm able to listen to such a variety of genres which all sound great.    One question, I want to get an amp but not sure what to get, doesn't need to be portable. What worries me is when people say they can't really...

The w1000x is a bit too expensive for me but I'd like to get some pretty good open cans. Do the DT 990s have as good highs as the a900x? I don't necessarily need a lot of bass in the open cans because I was thinking of listening to mainly rap through the a900x and reggae and mellow music with...

  Thank's I'll check them out. I want to look into the ADs as well tho cause these have plenty of bass for me and I already know I like AT

30db is a bit too much I'd say. I've always sort of introduced more and more bass to new headphones gradually and at slightly higher volumes than I would normally listen to music at. Might be just me but it seems to burn them in nicely. There's no way I could boost the lower frequencies by 30db...

Boy was I wrong about the bass in these. I had the sound settings set up a bit strange from my old headphones. All I did was bass boost by +9db (under enhancements in sound settings) and they sound incredible. Violent - Tupac (for example) has heaps of deep bass and I always have to turn it...

Just got these delivered :D - First thoughts  Pros: The highs are AMAAAZING! Mids are really good too. Fantastic detail and very well balanced frequency response imo.  Cons: None! Meh/other thoughts: They could have slightly more bass. I don't know, it's kinda strange (not bad in any way)...

What are these like compared with akg k167s? I thought the highs could be clearer in them, nice resolution but they had sibalance. I really liked the quality and quantity of bass in the k167s, how do the a900x compare in that regard? 

My beautiful k167s headband snapped and I'm looking for some over ear headphones to replace them. I can't spend more than $250aud. I'd like them to have a wide range. I'd rather a flat frequency response but if anything the mids could be slightly recessed and highs slightly emphasized. I'd...

I've recently become interested in vinyls, and today I received my first (free) record player, a sony ps lx40. There was a Richard Marx record in it, sounded great, everything seemed to work. Like I said, this is my first record player and don't really have much of an idea on speakers, amps and...

I have a problem with them being closed headphones. That and the bass is like a thud, but not boomy. They sound good but I'm thinking of returning them and buying a pair of hd598s for $30s extra, because I've had good experience with sennheiser a few times now and they are open. I like the idea...

I just got mine a few hours ago and I've got mixed emotions so far (still burning them in). Coming from Sennheiser HD448s, the K167s have more bass, but like Tyll said, it seems a little awkwardly emphasized. The HD448s have a flat(er) response which I prefer, however I must say that I like the...

Hi everyone, this is my first post here so I'm sorry for still being such a noob when it comes to this stuff. I'm looking to replace my current beloved hd448s because they suffered some travel damage. I really like the clarity of highs in the hd448s compared to other headphones I've heard (not...
