LOL... Although I'm unlikely to ever get an EW9.. I thought I chime in on some adjacent subjects. I'm using my A900 at work right now. The other day though, I was watching DVD's late at night, and realized I left myself without a very good pair of home headphone just for that type of purpose.
I have a CD3000 hooked up to my home system, and my surround sound amp isn't elegant enough to give it a nice and full sound. So that's for music only. My CD780 is hooked up to my M-Audio Revolution, which is in the back of the computer, and I don't want to have to unplug them.
V6 is at work as a loaner for co-workers, HN100 and PX250 just sucks in comparison to any other headphones I've got.. so in a way, unacceptable for what I want in a theatre experience.
So that leaves me with a pair of HD497, which is okay, it's just that they get extremely uncomfortable after about 30 minutes or use or so. Supra-aural pads pressing against your ears, building up some heat and sweat...
The result of all that, on Friday, I went on AudioCubes and ordered myself an A500. If the A500 turns out to be adequate for casual music listening purposes, I will be moving that to the office while preserving the much more expensive A900 for home theatre use. If its music capability isn't up to par, then I will be using it instead in the home theatre setting while leaving my A900 at work.
