Quote:     My coworker has the A700s, and I just compared them to the new Denons.  Firstly, the A700s are a noticeable step down from the A900s, but they share similar acoustic qualities (among other things).  I feel that the Denons are simply a better set of headphones than the A900s...

Quote:     I performed some very unscientific tests   With no music on whatsoever, my keyboard typing is barely audible.  However, I do have a logitech perfect-stroke keyboard, so it's kind of quiet.  The computer fans are *barely* noticeable, even with no music.   When i turn the...

Okay folks, the elusive AH-D1100 headphones have arrived!  And let me just say...     wow.     With my trusty ATH-A900 and ATH-WS70 headphones as a comparison, here is a mini review (with ratings on 1-5 scale) based on the last half an hour:   EDIT:  I moved the review to the...

FYI, the 1100s finally shipped today!  I'll post my initial impressions as soon as they arrive.

Still waiting on AudioCubes.  Apparently this thing is so new, they sold me one without actually having it in their warehouses.  I emailed support, and they said it will ship very soon with upgraded priority shipping.   The good news is that I bought it during their back to school sale, so I...

If you wait a few days for my new denon 1100s to arrive, I'll be putting up a review. I'm anticipating something similar to d2000s, but more portable. Anyway, they just came out, so we will have to see.

Yep, as of right now they are still on order. The Ultrasone 900s are starting to sway me, although I don't like hearing about how uncomfortable they are. But who is to say that the 1100s will be more comfortable? Edit: I just checked, and the 1100s already shipped.

I don't know how effective this chart can be at evaluating the level of bass a headphone is capable of, but let's put it up for discussion:     Based on the comparison, clou91 seems to be on point by stating that the 900s are more impressive than the 780s.  I threw on the sennheiser...

Quote: I really like the looks of the 900s, and I've heard really good things about the bass of Ultrasone headphones in general.  But, just how comfortable are the 900s?  And are they closed?  As mentioned before, they are for work, so there can't be a large amount of leakage.   Edit...

Thanks for the suggestions.  I considered the m50 for a long time, and decided against it in favor of the WS70s. This time around, I want something a bit higher end.

Ok, so I'm on the market for a new pair of headphones.  Here are the most important factors:   1. Closed and comfortable.  Seriously, I want them to be really comfortable. 2. Heavy, punchy bass.  I really want to be impressed this time. 3. Seksi looks.  These are for work, so they can't...

After buying the disappointing AT-WS70s, I've been waiting for the opportunity to replace them.  Well, today the office upstairs had a water pipe explode directly above my desk, and waterlogged quite a few of my gadgets (including the WS70s).  I was feeling adventurous and spontaneous, and saw...

Coming from A900s, I can say without a doubt that the WS70s are very uncomfortable.  I had to basically bend them like crazy to loosen the fit, just so the clamping tightness wouldn't pluck my head off.  And even now, the top padding bothers the top of my head. After even 20 minutes of use.  I...

I searched the form and found this thread about recommendations for new A900 pads: http://www.head-fi.org/forums/f4/a90...rs-ahhh-95993/ but it is from 2004 so a little outdated. I really want pads that are a bit more durable than just a straight replacement, but I'm not sure of the options...

Hi, I'd like to know if anyone has tried both the Audio-Technica M50s and WS70s. I currently have a back-order on a pair of M50s, but I'd cancel my order to get the WS70s if I could determine that they have: 1. Better Sound, especially with mids and bass 2. Better comfort. Although I...

I'd love to see a comparison between the WS70s and the M50s!

I have had my audio-technica ath-a900 headphones for quite some time, and they continue to suite me well. The issue is that I need a pair of cans for both work and home. While I love the sound and comfort of my A900's, I don't like the look of them at all; I'd like to explore other headphones...

I almost forgot... I am currently driving these things from a very cheap laptop. However, I just bought a high end asus motherboard with pretty good quality sound card. Will a good sound card do a better job of driving these headphones?

My ATH-A900s arrived today! I still have the 595s, so here are my first impressions: 1. The sennheiser 595s sound better. They are very close, but i feel that the mids and highs on the a900s are not as full as the 595s. Plus, there is a feeling of "live music" that the 595s have that are...

Well, I just went ahead and bought the ATH-A900 from audio cubes. I was really worried about the looks, but I asked my girlfriend what she thought and she said, "First of all, do you really think those [hd-595s] look good? All headphones look goofy, and plus the ones in the picture [ATH-A900]...

Guys, thanks for all the tips. You all have been a really great help! I have the A900s in my cart. However, I'm worried about the looks and size from what mthrsuperior said. Are they that much bigger and/or uglier than the hd-595s? I have those right in front of me, and even though they are...
