The nakamichi NK-900 borrows it's looks heavily from the Skullcandy/ROC nation Aviators. They are foldable and they have a in-line volume control/mic/pause control button. the cable is terminated with a 3.5MM TRRS connector.
Aside from the looks which are surprisingly nice, they provide a tight seal around the ear, unlike some previous cans that I have owned,
but is not too tight, although some may object to the fact the cups do not swivel and they come in at a slightly inward angle.
The pads are breathable, firm and are much better than the ones on most other lower to mid- priced cans.And there is no felt/paper/foam covering the driver, instead, its a fabric that is part of the pad. I hate that tissue paper and that itchy foam and I am glad its not here.
The sound. To sum it up, Surprisingly fast highs and mids (a bit bright in the upper treble) Good, tight bass response, Surprisingly flat all around. they eat the Sony MDRV-150 the MDRZX100/300 MDRXD-100, and similar phones for breakfast. Some people may not like the lack of thundering bass, if they are used to bass heavy cans like the Bose OE2 or the Beats by dre. (the beats have too much bass).
I would reccomend them if you listen to Americana, Jazz Bluegrass, or Chill/ambient or Trance or Alternative pop, they can handle dubstep and hiphop with ease, and not lose thier charachter if you do not overdrive them, or run them on a weak output like a small MP3 player.
The are nowhere near as thunderous as the NK-890 in the bass region, or as slow and grainy as the NK-780.
I would say that they are in between the Koss porta pro and the klipsch image 1 in terms of sound.
They are discontinued now so now they are going for pretty low prices,
