Hi all, thanks for taking a look, after hours of research I can come to no conclusion over A900 vs HD595s. I listen to metal/rock mostly, although I do a lot of gaming. I am wondering which has the better soundstage in your opinions?

(x-fi music, no amp) This is because I will probably pick the phone that has the edge in gaming.

Thanks!

While I have no experience with the HD595, I will tell you that the A900s are great for gaming and for rock music. They have great soundstage and detail and don't require an amp to sound good.

Nice

Do you (and anyone else) find the A900s comfortable enough? Big plus for me.

I find the A900s to be very comfortable. For a set of cans of that size, it's rather light in weight. They rest comfortably on my head without any excessive clamping force, snug enough so it doesn't fall off my head when I'm moving about. I don't have a large head either. Some do find the pleather pads on the A900s to be a bit uncomfortable in warmer weather as it causes sweating and heat arounnd your ears. I haven't had this problem even during the summer months.

My A900's are great. I can wear them for 2-3 hours before I need to take them off to give my ears a breather. That usually coincides with a bathroom break anyhow. They're great for gaming; on some games it's almost like having a wallhack the way you can pinpoint people so easily.

Hehe nice

Sounds like a good choice for me, only issue is they are £25 more than the 595s, but it sounds like it is worth the difference

Just before I confirm the A900s, anyone think the HD595s are as good for gaming? Or better? Any opinions on those headsets? Thanks, just making sure
