Just got mine in, and I think they're great. In fact these are what I wanted the K-701 to be so long ago. They have a great wide 3d soundstage, comfortable, and light, very light. Plus I cant get over how huge the drivers are.
Source is a iPhone 6+, no amp direct drive from iPhone.
Arch Enemy- War Eternal: This song really show's the headphone's speed. They have a fast attack that keeps up with the song, and you hear every instrument being used. Alyssa White-Gluz's vocals are present in your face, and with full authority. The bass rumble of the track shines through
, and molds into the song. Doesn't over power, but isn't faint or distant.
Tristania- Libre; Really brings out the percussion capability of these cans, lead vocals are front, and center. Then all of the sudden Vibeke Stene is surrounding you, it's bone chilling. Østen Bergøy's vocals are captured fully, and as deep as live.
Azad- Auge Des Sturms: simply used as a bass test track. The AD900x keeps the thunder like bass track intact, and handles it well
. Vocals once again are crisp, and clear.
Wendy Rule- Hecate: Drums beat out with accuracy I havnt heard yet
. Where other cans kind of smooth them over a lot, on the AD900X it's full, and true. The strings sound so real, so vibrant, and in come's Wendy's voice. Not too muddy, not too sharp. Just right.
Five Finger Death Punch-Wash it all away: This song makes you think there's people talking behind you with the AD900x, little voices are sprinkled throughout the song at various spots behind you. Once again the attack, and slam is in full authority.
Mr. Criminal-Drop it-n-rock it: another bass test song. These can go low. Real low, and deep.
Jurassic Park T-Rex escape scene: This is one good test of the bass capabilities, almost subwoofer like
. 3d thunder, sounds likes you're actually in a storm, and well they accurately present the stomp of a f-ing T-Rex.
Fleetwood Mac- Gold Dust Woman: The AD900x really brings out this song. So many different layers and textures flow out, and just blend just right. Stevie Knick's voice is not muffled, nor too erm sharp. The combination of instruments and voices in this song on these just really play with your head, and the howl at the end of the song sends chills down the spine. Fleetwood Mac as a whole on this can is a treat Fleetwood lovers should not miss.
So far I don't get where people get these don't have bass, or the bass is light. These things will be a treat for a dragon fight in Skyrim, or in Flight Simulator X hearing the visceral rumble of 4 Rolls Royce Avons at idle(Rev 4 DeHavilland Comet). These cans definitely have a wow factor to them. They definitely present the sound as they get it, and they are not forgiving on bad tracks, you'll hear eeevvvverrrrything.
