Hello to everyone in head-fi. I have been reading the forums for years, but never had the time to actually get involved until now

I am interested in getting a pair of a100ti's. Do you guys know whether it would be possible to get audio technica to retrieve a pair? or is anyone selling one? Also how much would they be used? I know they were ~300 on audiocubes but not sure about used priced. Those headphones are hot

Welcome to Head-fi.

Yea thats what i was i thinking, not a common headphone=/
If i can't find those, most likely itll be the a55 or the a500 if im poor, or the a900 or a9x if i actulaly have money. So we'll see....
Any recommendations? I know the a900 are highly recommended by many, but how bout the lower end 500 or the 700?

I'd say, besides the Grado SR60 (which I've never heard), the A500's are the best headphones in that range, period...they are warm, but are powered by portables easily, and kick my D66's ass (except in portability though), and they isolate just fine.

The A100ti is not widely available. I believe that there were only 2000 built worldwide, i have one. It has pretty good sound quality, but outclass by CD3K. I also had A1000 for awhile, and it has about 5 percents improvement from A100ti. Still, CD3k tops them all. "Yes" they are very well built, and hot looking!

I don't know what the hell to recommend anymore. I used to really like the A9X and then I got the W100 which I didn't like so much and then it was off to the A1000 which really wasn't a WOW headphone.

Well, I sold all of that stuff and now I have Eggo's which I absolutely love. I was listening to my friend's A9X's and... well, not the sound for me anymore.

I guess since I'd listened to nothing but AT's, the semi-neutral Eggo was a nice departure.

Why don't you look for used W100? It sounds great and looks GREAT!!!

thanks everyone for the input. I searched for all past threads about AT's, but umm........there doesnt seem to be much at all on the lower end models. My budget right now is 150-200 which is why the w100s are outta my league=( DAM! Oh yea another question, for comfort, how long canu guys go wearing these headphones? I hear its pretty dam long. I am hoping for something where its so comfortable it'd be like 4-6 hrs straight where i can have em on

Evoz,
The A100ti has very good comfort. I would say better than the Senn HD580/HD600. However, A1000 is more comfortable. CD3K, although is the most comfortable phone I've own, but it tends to fall off my head.
