TH900

Why's that? Also, have you compared them in terms of gaming? Thanks!

Only music , both are great , both are source dependent , TH900 a little bit more dynamic , bass cannon.

Is there a major difference in the bass between the TH900 and 9200? For example, is the TH900 skull vibrating while the 9200 is punchy? I'm not a huge basshead, although I appreciate good bass that doesn't get distorted or muddy up the mid range.

Both are "audiophile" bass but the TH900 likes to hit the sub bass more often and when I EQ it will be crazy bass. When not EQd Steely Dan will shake my skull.

Wow, that's definitely a lot of bass, lol. Does it distort and muddy up the midrange? Would you consider yourself a hardcore basshead?

No , it keeps the sub bass away from the mids and treble away from the mids.

Ok, I think I'll experiment between the TH900 and the 9200. I found a TH900 Mk2 with stock cable and pads used "B-Stock" on reverb.com for $1100. Is this reasonable for a used TH900? Or should I buy a brand new one just in case?

Im using my 6 pairs of TH900s on the go for four years. No issues.

Nice! Lol. Just out of curiosity:

1) Do you use stock cables with your TH900's? Or custom cables? I can't seem to wrap my head around how cables could possibly affect a headphone's sound signature, because it's just simple physics...and I don't think a $1000+ headphone would come with crappy cables to begin with.

2) Why 6 of them? haha

I guess buying used could be good now that I think about it since they would already be burned in.

In 2020 the big reviewers are agreeing that cables will affect the sound. How much ? Ill say 5 to 10% better or can be worse. Where I live Im able to demo twenty cables at a time. I has same headphones with different cables and heard a difference. I bought like 13 TH900s , sold 7 and keeping 6. I tried various cables with the TH900. I found I prefer the stock cable and Lawton Audio cables.

Are the Lawton mods worth it? Or stock configuration is just fine?

I had two Lawton TH900s , they are nice , but I wouldnt take them out on the go. Lawton option wood cups is harder wood so sound of bass is tighter. Mids more up front. A little less fun and more serious listening.

Would you say that $1100 is reasonable for a used TH900 mk2?
