My personal problem is that it caters to the same things that X1 does for me to warrant keeping both.

 
...You and your "1 headphone only" policy.

Just remember, it's scores based off it's own merits, and considering it's price, etc.

But yeah, it's pretty damn good. I might send it to you guys for testing soon if you want if I don't end up selling it at some point in the near future.

 
I don't know how much credibility I have but I would dig giving these a try.

Chico, didn't you get it yourself? Not yet?

I'd definitely send it to you. You'd more than likely would be first, considering you're next door almost.

It'd be the typical guys:

Evs, Chico (though I'm sure he's getting his), Nameless, calpis (I see you bud), and probably tdock if he's interested.

No promises. If I put it up for sale after review, I'll give it like a week. If it sells, sowee.

I have to pick it up from the post office tomorrow.

ilGaspa: Sony MA900.

My recommendations:

$0-$100: Creative Aurvana Live

$100-200: Sony MA-900, DT990 Pro

$200-$300: Philips Fidelio X1

$300-400: K702 65th Anniversary
 

 
Thank you MLE
I looked at the MA900 too.. the strange thing is that here in Europe these cost MORE than the X1.. and a lot more.. 
 
The X1 is 199 euros, 265 dollars
The MA900 is 255 euros, 350 dollars
 
Given this thing I should go for the X1, what do you think?

Schweet. I expect good news. It's not the AKGs, but I find that you'll be very happy for it's price.


I wish I had an HD558 to compare. Both have a similar tonality IIRC, though the MA900 is more open, and fuller sounding.

Thanks, it makes me feel like I starting to be part of the fam... lol
 
I have something up my sleeve, still, and will be keeping you guys posted. I just have to find these suckers at a better price. They're not expensive, at all, just rare to find because the manufacturer hasn't really distributed this model in the US.

Well, back to my gaming session I go; I was taking a snack break and checked in on you guys while doing so.
 
I'm almost done with this game and I must say this:
 
Ellie is officially one of my favorite characters this generation... she is one bad a** 14 year old.

Katun has a nice review of it with a comparison to the HD598.  Maybe you can extrapolate how the 558 would sound...

I just don't have much love for the 598. I thought it was dry, thin, too mid rich. I'm beginning to wonder if I had a dud, because I greatly prefer the 558 to it. The 558 is wonderfully warm, well balanced, and just a workhorse all rounder. Not as refined as the MA900, but it is enjoyable regardless. The MA900 further improves on what I like about the 558. I mean ALL of it.

The MA900... I REALLY believe in this headphone. I think soundstage nuts will LOVE them, because it doesn't compromise musicality and richness for thinness to add air.

The more I talk about them, the more I'm starting to think they're not going anywhere (as in I won't sell them).

I live in Italy: 255 euros from Amazon.it.. O.o the reason it costs so much less in the .de site is out of my comprehension :|
Anyway it seems to be one of that articles that amazon won't sell everywhere: I can add it to my cart etc but when going to buy it the familiar "some articles can't be sent to your country" warning appears -.- So I can't order from the .de site :|
 
Thanks anyway

Try Ebay. Some places sell worldwide. The MA-900 is too new and too niche to really have fakes floating around.
