Went to a LAN party yesterday. The hifiman velour pads are terrible for an event such as this. Back to the stock pads!
why do people like A900x more than AD900x? Can anyone compare them?
After a bit of research on head-fi it's become clear to me that the ath-a900x is definitely the way to go and I nearly made a huge mistake in purchasing the m50.
I'll probably be ordering from ebay considering how much of a pain it is finding an authorized reseller with cheap shipping to Canada. I'm assuming the chance of receiving a fake is negligible if the seller has a high reputation and the region of manufacture is purportedly Japan? Seems like a no-brainer, I just tend to be overly cautious at times.
How much are you buying from ebay? I tend to use amazon because it's safer and shipping usually arrives within the month (most of the time less). I bought it for $230 including shipping, so if you can get it for a lot less on ebay, kudos to you!
Eh, about $196 including import and shipping fees. At this point i'm also considering just ordering from buydig instead since they're an authorized reseller, though there's the issue of the 60 dollar shipping fee and whatever import fees on top of that.
edit: seems like the-edeals on amazon.com has it for $215.87 w/ shipping to Canada and is also fulfilled by amazon, so I suppose I'll be ordering from there instead

My A900X has a great midrange and plenty of Bass. I find it responded quite greatly to a good amp which improved everything the soundstage and everything else. It is quite revealing. Binaural is fun to listen to with this also. Great separation of sounds and detail on good Flac recordings.
Does anyone uses the A900x as a portable?
I tried once, I looked like princess leia. It's just way too big and light clamping to be portable.
