well, we'll see how i like them. figured i couldn't pass them up for 160$ new... hopefully they'll be as good as my sr-325's were, but not as bright and more musical. ah, the anticipation of waiting!

Oh and i'm also looking forward to not having to baby them. having durable headphones will be a nice change (*cough*grado*cough).

I wish someone would buy my x-cans so I could buy a pair of these. Thats an awsome price.

 

[Dhw]

Must...resist...this is really getting bad though. I've heard some pretty good things about them, and $160 ain't bad at all...

 

[GuffMorgan]

Oooh, that is a good price, I'm curious how they would sound if open wood cups (i.e., Headphile) replaced the stock ones (as well as getting them recabled).

 

[Dhw]

I just ordered it.

Damn you all.

NO WAY IM buying it though. Just bought a K240s and HF-1s are on the way.!!!

Congratulations on the 990 purchase! You made a great choice. They won't sound like the 325i's, as the 325i's have a rather magical mid range. The 990's are better all around phone, though, and have fun doing many types of music. I feel they are a much more versatile headphone in many ways. They will give you deep solid bass, much more so than the 325i's. The treble region will be much tamer than the 325i's, while still retaining ample detail. The comfort level will be something Grado owner only dream about, as witnessed by how many of them mod their phones to use the Beyer pads, headband, etc.

Happy listening!

Damn that's a good price. Are you guys getting 2-3 week shipping times? That's pretty annoying. I'm getting bored of my AKG 271s already.
