I've waited a week and a half to get these, and wow

Im now fooling around with my songs, and my Turtle Beach Santa Cruz configurations.
Not to sound unsatisfied but, will these cans improve with non-stop playing burn-in?
Special thanks to everyone at Head-fi, who have provided information while i was looking for some cans, and settled with the A500

YAY~!
EIGHTYEIGHT

I just picked mine up today as well. They are very nice

. And I really like the smooth flow of the music, it's very balanced sounding, and so amazing in every other way. And I think it's funny that I can just see them with my peripheral vision if I turn my eyes all the way.

Funny that you say that, I found the same thing and thought there was someone there the first couple of times.

Haha, you guys have narrow fields of view...I can see them without turning my eyes.

We have more members to the A500 clan.

just wish they had some cool aluminum and metallic-painted outter shells like the A700 and A900, that'd be cool

Maybe it's just me, or pictures don't do the A900s justice, but the A500s look a lot better in my opinion, I like their simplicity.

omg, when you said that thing about seeing the headphones by looking left and right...i cant stop looking at them
the wings on the top of the headphones mess up my hair

it presses it down so it looks like i have to ditches in my head lol

 

[NightRaven]

Heh, is that better or worse than having a groove from a headband

 

[3lusiv3]

The thing that makes these headphones look big is not so much the part that goes around your ears, but the the headband bit. The wiry band sticks up a fair bit and makes you look like an alien.

i acutally like the support bands on ATs, i think they looks cool

It's hard to photograph the A900... it has a dark blue aluminum finish that shines differently depends on the environmental lights... it has a much more refined finish, and just overall quality than the A500. However, when photographed in bad light, all you see is either a big glare spot (from reflection) or super dark surface (not enough light)...

You can't quite get the full effect of that aluminum finish... it's just hard.

But they sure look damned nice in person!

BTW why is there no A-T smiley, or Beyer for that matter?

you could paint them.

I imagine there's room for a small mural on the A500 cups.

Okay, maybe painting them would be bad.....

Before head-fi I never thought about burn-in but now I think 100hours is a necessity.

 

[Deja Vu]

I also received my pair on Wednesday, and they're fantastic... =)) However, they only have around 25 hours of burn-in yet, and I hope they'll improve with more burn-in...

For now, I'm trying to visit Head-Fi as little as possible, so I don't go and purchase another pair of cans before it's the right time. When the time comes tho, I'll be back with another thread... =))
