here's a pic that a member posted.

 

[-Ruin-]

I have some AD-700s
I have a big head, so for you average head people they are fairly large, oh and I wouldnt wear it outside.

Hey, that's not too bad actually. At least I don't think so.

I might just whip 'em out at school to see what kind of reaction they garner.

 

[)v(ajin_R_]

just dont get them stolen

they fit fairly well on my head, i can move my head around quite a lot without it moving so its not that bad...guess it depends on how big your head is, and i have the a900ltd's which might have a different fit so yeh...

Say bye bye to your friends

Heh. From the side and from such a wide angle, they do look pretty massive.

But that won't stop me!

And don't worry about them getting stolen. If I wear them out and about, the only place they'll be is on my head or around my neck (or in my bag).

In that situation. I'll just let them take a listen. That should change their minds.

Yes, they are big. For me, the issue in terms of walking around outside is the headband. The two headbands on the A Series look like alien antenna on me, and the 3D Wings don't help. Plus the fact that I don't have much hair results in a decidedly alien-like appearance. The 3D Wings look less obvious on those of you with thick dark-colored hair, and the headbands don't stick out from the top of your heads.

Well, at least the 3D Wings don't slip and slide on my head.

 

[Pibborando]

I see. My hair is moderately long: 5 inches or so. Would this mean the A900 will slip around more or less?

 

[EscaBoi]

they look like they make good ear muffs for the winter

i was considering the A500's for portables as well...but after seeing these head shots with them on, i'm glad i went with the ES7's instead

i'm still thinking about purchasing A900's for home use. those pictures of the A900 Limited Edition look amazing...so tempting....

but the wallet cries no

Uh, I think it would depend on hair texture and how greasy your hair is.

Apparently, I've made hair a valid topic in the headphones forum. Maybe we can start talking about hair styling and perms?

Yes.. you really need to hear how great the LTDs sound! amazing. They are my best purchase in years

I never wear my A900s outside. I was considering it at one stage since I have 2 sets (A900 and LTDs).. but I use both strictly at home for serious musical listening.

I picked up a pair of HD25-1s for portable use (they look quite cheap, although expensive for portables.. and people don't stare). The HD25's sound brilliant too

The ES7s would be my next portable headphone. I haven't ordered them 'yet' but boy are they tempting!!! that's if someone can convince me they can produce the ATH-900's sound. I doubt anthing could even match the LTDs though.

Fantastic idea.

But seriously, my hair is rather thick and pretty dry. Any idea how that might affect the grip?

 

[Elephas]

No idea. I haven't had much hair for several years.

Seriously, if the 3D Wings sit firmly within your hair, I don't think they will slip or slide. Thick, curly hair would be best, I think, and worst would be straight, flat hair.
