I am currently trying the A900 out but I must say so far I still preferr my DT 770 PRO:s.
There is almost no bass on the A900 in comparison. And I don´t think the highs are really that much better. It can actually get painful at times. I never have to reach for the volume controller with the DT 770 PRO:s as I feel I have to with the ATH-A900 at times...
overall the ATH-A900 seems brighter and more neutral I guess. I guess if I didn´t have the DT 770 PRO already I would be all over praising these it´s not like they are bad. Very clean sound. And some tunes sound better with it... It just lacks bass to back it up
Also I have a pimeta amp and no out of an x-fi there is no difference. Seems to be little point amping these just a waste of money
.
Unamped they get closer to the DT 770 PRO but the DT 770 still have stronger low registers. You hear much more detail and low notes on the DT 770 then you can hear on the ATH-A900...
A900 definiatly don´t go down to 5 hertz...
But just 2 days into testing it´s nothing
.
the DT 770 do fit my head much better the A900 don´t clamp on tight enough despite me having a really large head. However it´s no real problem if you don´t move around to much. Both are very comfortable to wear though my ears don´t get that hot in my DT 770:S... It also feels more sturdy.
Tomorrow I may think something different
I don´t think it can compete for games and movies only music...
does anyone know a good demo with 3d sound? Main reason I got it was that it´s supposed to be very good with simulated surround sound like CMSS3D and such with a big soundstage (for closed headphones)
