All of these headphones are highly acclaimed;How am I going to make a decision?

further narrowed list:
Sennheiser HD-595s
Ultrasone Hi-Fi 650
Audio Technica ATH-A900



Though KJ869 says that the clamping force on the Ultrasones can loosen: I still think that they are more uncomfortable than even Grados. Note that the Ultasones are supposed to provide isolation, therefore the clamping force will always be existing. I used the Ultrasones for about 1 month and tried to loosen the clamping force and the improvement was rather subtle. Also note that the pleather used on the Ultrasones will make you sweat after 30min (guaranteed). Don't get me wrong, these are great phones....for on the road.
Just my 2 cents.

I think audiocubes is the recommended place... or the only place, depending.

since audiocubes does not allow returns, how much would someone get for a900's if they used it for like 1 week and is in perfect condition with no scratches or anything at all. usd please. Is there another place that sells a900's for the same price or really close to audiocubes price with a return policy? todd really needs to get into selling AT's :p
