I personally don't mind this little drawback as it isn't bad enough to make them a bad set of cans for myself. Others will see it differently and will also comment on that the highs on the A900LTDs are a bit rolled off to them, that is fine to each his own. To my ears the A900LTDs is a set of cans that has all the details, soundstage, and bass as the A900s except smoother ane richer sounding. Also own a set of CD3000s and it's also an awesome sounding set of cans despite being on the bright side.

Exactly my thoughts. I also appreciate the fact that these puppies don't need an amp to sound great.

After listening my A900LTD i am amost confused that what should be better then this. There might be something else to beat it's good sound quality and comfort. But it's clear that mine cans are top of the line, where some people like it over HD650 and DT880 while some people are saying that it sounds good but HD650 and DT880's are better then this. This is purely defines taste and sense of people rather then sound quality and clearity difference.

Also I was thinking for an open can (coz it's dangerous place to live

) but I must run form this idea. I am satisfied morethen I was expected from headphones and burning more $ if you are satisfied is never ending game untill you wallet says

Looks like someone will be skipping lunches for a while.

It looks to me that you owned A900's and sold them. If you sold them because you didn't like it's sound signature then A900LTD will dissapoint you.

RB26DETT is selling an A900LTD for $310, drop him a PM if you're interested.

On the contrary, I loved the A900s to death. Did blu-tak mod to get the mids back up as well. Had to sell them because of financial issues.

So you are getting your love again with better mids.

I also recommend you to buy from RB26DETT.

What's the difference between the a900 and the a900ltd besides being limited? I just bought some a900's on one of the boards before I knew about the ltd's, and I'm hoping I didn't just screw myself out of something better. Seems like the ltd is hard to find though...

I'm just wondering, just how much better are the mids on the A900LTD than the A900? Because right now I am still waiting for my A900LTD to arrive, and using my A900's while I wait. With my newly acquired PA2V2, the mids on my A900 are not bad at all, and the move up to an A900LTD would make them perfect, if they are in fact noticeably better than the A900. Also, do they LTDs have the cloth cable like the A900? I hope they don't.

Yes........ Mids are clearly noticable between my A500 and A900LTDs with more refined highs and lows anyway. It have dual type cable, means both cans are having seperate cable input not like my A500 where cable input is just at left side. And it's not fabric either.

I wonder whether me using my LDTs exclusively out of the headphone jack of my receiver explains that I never had the recessed mids problem? FWIW, I think they are very balanced.

No, it's some sort of rubbery coating.

I was asking between the regular a900 and the a900ltd, not the a500...

I have experience with these two only while noone still reported that A900 has better mids then A500. But this is reported by many that A900 haves back seated mids anyway.

Some one would tell you better who own excactly both.

 

[fureshi]

ugh, you guys are making me regret selling my ltds.

you're in for a treat, hope you enjoy them 003!
