I like the A900s…but just to make sure I make the right decision before I make the purchase...
Another set of cans that really interest me (and that are locally available to hear and buy) are the HD 555. I know that they are open while the A900s are closed. I don’t care about the open/close factor. What I am looking for are great sounding circumaural phones that can be easily driven by a portable device (without amplification).
Both the A900 and the HD 555 are good phones (based on what I’ve read)…but which one is going to sound better unamped? Which of the two models is more bassy? I'm interested in clear, precise bass...not something boomy and artificial.
Oh yeah…and which one is bigger and/or heavier?
Thanks in advance for any help.
