Where can I find full in-depth reviews of the A500? I didn't see it in the reviews section on Head-Fi, and since it's a Japanese set of headphones, I can't just google it.

Use the head-fi search function.

Whoops, I meant can't.

And when I searched, I only found threads that were A500 vs. XXX, or A500 or A900, etc. The only one that would be close to a review would be this one. But that's not what I'm looking for.

If you don't compare them to something else, how're you going to rate them? They're headphones, they make noise, it's pretty good noise. Just buy 'em, if you don't like them they have a good resale value.

Well, even in those threads, the author mainly just asks which one is better, some people post small paragraphs that point out the goods sides of the A500s, and that's pretty much it. I'd like a long, full-featured review, like those in the Head-Fi "Featured Full Headphone Reviews" section.

Gonna have to agree with commando, just get them and then sell them if you don't like them.

It would be very difficult to describe it without comparing it with another set of cans. What are your current headphones? Maybe someone can give you an idea.

The A500 will be better in every single way. They'll be more comfortable, have lower bass, smoother more detailed mids and highs, and a longer/better cord. Good value too.

And I think that's the best review you're going to get
