The more I listen to the 900s the more I love them. I held off for a long time purchasing them because of the treble complaints, and recessed mids. I am pretty sensitive to hot treble, and coming from LCD2s I was used to amazing midrange.
Since day one the treble has never been an issue with me, and maybe its just good synergy with my WA7, but I never felt the mids were recessed.
Side note: The 900s pair really well with virtual surround DSPs like dolby headphone and sbx pro studio. Great for games/movies! The bass really shines here.
i had a quibble w/some folk on another thread because i called the th900 "flagship" headphones, which they found offensive b/c they didn't think any flagship headphone should be as colored and non-neutral as the th900 are. if you look at the frequency response of the th900 the mids are indeed a bit recessed...and yet, like others have commented here, they don't seem recessed when you actually listen to them. i had a great time with the th900 when i owned them...and still believe they're worthy of being called a flagship headphone...
