They're definitely nice for hot weather! My KSC 35 can still handle that though.

Under normal temperatures the MA900 aren't necessarily more comfy for ME as Im a little conscious of the pads and tend to micro adjust them too often. They both less intrusive and more obtrusive so it sort of cancels itself out.


If I didn't already have the Anniversaries and X1s I could probably justify keeping them - but I DO have them.

What about the X1 - listening to softer music, I've been hearing little creaks as I move my head. It's becoming kind of annoying...

V-moda M80s inbound later today. Going to try them with the V-moda BoomPro mic and see how they function as a gaming headset. Crossing my fingers that they're excellent for portable laptop gaming.

I don't have any problems with it.

Also, you should stay away from the full sized Audio Techinicas as they creak like crazy.

Watching a movie (Pain n' Gain) off the PS3 via Mixamp... the MA900 impresses with the bass. Yes... it was still plenty bassy.

Tried the MA900 at a Sony store, surprised at how good it sounds. MLE's praise on it is legit.
 
One issue personally, my ears presses against the drivers and I know it is going to hurt like crap after an hour's usage eventhough there isn't a lot of clamping pressure.

Please let me know how the sound sig compares to your MDs... assuming you have the 3.2 version.

l have this with nearly all cans I own. It, my glasses frame that creates the noise where the pads touch it. If I put the glasses of there is no noise anymore when I move my head. This happens with all kinds of pads: leather, pleather and velour.

I do not, mine are currently 3.1. But I can do a comparison of those side by side over the next couple days. I'd be running them both off my T1 as that's my home amp.

I'm also very interested in how V-MODA fare in competitive or general gaming. If they do both well, then I might get either the M80 or M100.

I can tell you that while my ears touch as well, I can wear the MA900 all day. It doesn't pinch the same way say the Beyers do. The driver cover is soft and breathable. Still the most comfortable over ear I've ever worn outside the Siberia V1.

Hmm... I have no idea how different the 3.1 sounds but go right ahead if you don't mind. I would like to get another portable down the line because I recently sold my KEF M500...

I really wish it had a detachable cable....

Yeah, the cable is on the thin side and doesn't look like it has much of a strain relief.   A good hard yank on it might do some damage.
 
It's also a really long cable.

UPS is bringing me something tomorrow.
 
I wonder what it could be?....
