And do they also sell the open version as well? Because that's the one I'm interested in actually. ![Headphone Smile :) :)](https://cdn.head-fi.org/e/headfi/smily_headphones1.gif)

@perhapss And do they also sell the open version as well? Because that's the one I'm interested in actually.Also, do they ship to Europe?
So I take they don't have an English language site.![]()
Can anyone compare these to the PSB m4u 1? Are these two headphones even in the same class?
Hey everyone! I just got a set of these and I'm in loveexactly what I was looking for. I have a pair of Beyerdynamic DT770 250's and I had a pair of AKG K712Pro's (these replaced the 712's) and I couldn't be happier. The 712's had a bit better sound stage but the low end was utter crap IMO, it just wasn't there. These A900's are amazing and I love how they are a bit bass heavy (I listen to a lot of electronic/dubstep) and they are working wonders. They don't take to much to drive but with the Lyr pushing them I can get them going pretty well with ample power and they can really crank.
My only complaint is the leather pads, I'm a clean-shaven dude so they're sitting on skin and I find that they get pretty hot. I saw that some people tried some other velour pads but they lost some low end. Does anyone have suggestions for what I could do to replace the stock pads while keeping the low end the way it is?
I've been away from full size headphones for a while and have turned to iems for the past year with shure 846 and Ie800 .. and now kind of miss having a set of large headphones at my desk. But also I always found I could only have headphones on for a maximum 1-2 hours where as I can have iems in all day.
These ATs really got my attention when someone said it had very large sound stage which I love on my IE800 .. but also lush standout vocals which I also love on the shure846 ... I didn't think these 2 things can co-exist.
Early on I had DT880 which I thought had such thin and bland sound. then M50s which were ok but a bit compressed sounding and recessed mids. Shure 940 was my favorite pair but after a while, it just didn't have any bass even compared to a set of sony MH1 $15 iems. That's when I sold all my large headphones. I also had the PSB M4U 1 but found it a bit murky in the bass that covered up the mids too much.
does anyone have the A900X that also have the ie800 or shure 846 that can give me a idea of the differences are? or do you think no matter how good iems are, they will never match a set of full size headphones.
I'm into females vocals as my main preference so lush and very clear vocals is essential ... has good bass impact but doesn't need to be overly done. Do you guys think the A900X is what I'l looking for? do you think these will be a good compliment to the ie800 and 846 in terms of me wanting something that has wide sound stage, clear slightly forward vocals, great instrument separation?
I'm not going to regard the IE800's as I've never had them before, but I'll give you an answer until someone can compare the two.
The A900X has lush, forward, clear vocals, these headphones have you covered here. The mids are as good as my open back (Q701's).
Bass impact is punchy (a bit boomy for some people but I actually like this for all of my music because it's a bit like movie theatre fun sounding bass).
Sparkly treble that shines on good audio recordings and completely destroys bad recordings.
Instrument separation and soundstage is great, I picked these for soundstage over Astro A40 gaming headsets.
I'm going to tell every newcomer to the A900X this, but there are fit concerns. If you have a somewhat large head and average ears, these are the headphones for you.
that's exactly what I wanted to hear and looks like it's exactly what I'm looking for and I don't really want to spend too much more than these .. thanks for the info.
I have read through everything I can about these and I know fitting could be an issue but I also like to tinker with things until they're right .. so as long as the sound quality is there.
Good luck on your spendages! Is there something that's holding you back from getting open back headphones? You seem well equipped with closed and open might be a nice change. Considering you have an O2+ODAC, you can drive pretty much every mid-fi and some hi-fi headphones.
thanks mateI do want to own a pair of open headphones in the future but I don't think I can find use of it. I work from home so while the wife and kids are at work I tend to use speakers but when they're around, I want to block them out while I have to work .. and at night my wife has to study and prepare for classes so she doesn't like music while she has to read or mark papers. So yeh ... I can't seem to have a time to use open headphones and especially not in bed while the wife is asleep.
Buy anyway ... I would take on any suggestions on open headphones that has a wide sound stage with solid full vocals .. I really do like the AT sound and love my IM70 iems.
