I prefer a neutral sounding headphone, similar to the HD 600s, so im guessing the A900's fit that category vs. the bass heavy 770s

How is the a900s seperation of the instruments? I'm hoping that the soundstage is expansive, but coming from a closed cup, I can't picture it being outstanding

A900s have no bass? Don't listen to DT-770s fanboys

. (Do internalize what warubozu said.)

If you are a basshead get the DT-770s, otherwise get the A900s. I have the A900s and love them. They have plently of bass. I just got an amp, I think it helps a little bit with them, but they are a great can unamped.

If you are used to DT 770 PRO they do lack bass...

Unless excessive burn in change it

.

That they may have more bass then other headphones is another story though lol.

As mentioned you miss bass notes on it definiatly... Still great to listen to but it having less bass then DT 770 is a fact not a subjective opinion

is it just me, or is HD600 -> A900 more of a side-grade than an upgrade? not bashing the A900s by any means, i love 'em. but seriously, if you want a real upgrade as opposed to changing the sound signature of your setup, maybe you should opt higher up the audio-technica line. there's the A900LTD (with seperated cable grounds among other sonic upgrades), the W1000, the W5000, and lots of other stuff. judging from my auditions, the W1/5K are worth the extra cash vs the A900(LTD). just my 2 cents.

I wouldn't mind a pair of A900LTD
In fact, I'm looking to buy a pair.. anyone know where to get them?

If you speak, say, Korean... you might be able to find a site that still has some in stock. Otherwise, check the FS board and ebay and such.

Hmm they are definiatly growing on me now. I wonder if the A900 is more forgiving on crappy sources?

I am trying it with the Xbox 360 now and in Gears of Wars and PGR 3 I preferr the A900 currently.

On PC with my X-Fi I preferr the DT 770 PRO for GTR 2...

Running my pimeta Amp on both. Also I have left them running over night a couple of nights so they have maybe 20-30h in them and it does feel they have a bit more bass now

Still they are definiatly brighter sounding then the DT 770 PRO:s.

I am having real problem now choosing headphones for every game I run lol.
