Got these in today and they sound great! More info tomorrow! The box is trashed though thanks to Amazon.
Do the A900x's sound dry or do they have a bit of lushness to them? I'm trying to decide between these and Beyerdynamic DT250's.
I really do like the sound that comes from my ATH-A900X, to me everything is well balanced, I would not say the sound is dry.
And as Digbuy is selling the ATH-A900X for $154.99, plus tax & shipping, I think it's a great value, as I paid $256 for mine.
Thanks for your input. Do you know how they compare against the Beyerdynamic DT250?

I'm considering these headphones as my first high end pair, but the disparity of opinions on the bass level disturbs me. It seems to range from "the bass is pretty good I dont find myself wanting more" to "wow these headphones have NO BASS"
So this might be a crapshoot of a question, but how does the bass compare to the Klipsch Image S4 IEMs?

In general when people first get into high end headphones they want a pair with some serious bass. A lot of new members will rave about headphones that are bass intensive, and think they are really good headphones. If they were to put on a pair like the A900x they'll go "where's the bass?!?!", but only because that is the only thing they've really trained their ears to hear.
These are excellent headphones, especially for the price. Recalling this vs. the Klipsch S4 is really stretching my memory. I believe the S4 would have a noticeable quantity of bass. The AD900x has much more controlled bass, but I believe the real winner is the clarity. The S4 always sounded a little muddy and hazy around the mid range a treble. The AD900x is much clearer through the mids and presents a clear image of the music.
The A900Xs are not "full" bass headphones, but to me it's just the right amount of bass.
Bass is ok out of the box, but it took my A900Xs more then a month to break in.
Guessing some testers reviewed "unbroken in" A900Xs. so had some negative things to say
Not great for use with receivers, not because of sound quality, they just can't seem to get really loud.
Otherwise i plug the A900xs into everything else.
