I'm fairly new to writing reviews, so please dont mind my efforts.
My review is not professional, and are based on my opinion and experience using it, and comparing with others i've owned.
I've been using the HTX-9 for 6mths now, The experience has been great.
BODY:
Pros:
- soft leather pads, offers long lasting comfort. 5 hrs of listening before a pinch of discomfort.
- instant & effortless adjusting to perfect fit. (without having to take it off to fiddle with it.)
- aluminum casing, helps to release heat build-up while keeping it light.
- handsome Cans
- cord surprisingly durable, and high resistant to cracks. No signs of hardening as of now.
Cons:
- Cheap "looking" cord
- If you're buying just for the looks, please reconsider. As almost all would assume it's the HTX-7.
SOUND
Pros:
- good warm Bass, leans towards the mid-mild side yet very distinct and resonating.
- mids and highs are $170 accurate.
- hsss problems are very insignificant even w/ high solo vocals.
Cons:
- though worth for it's price-tag, there are better sounding.
- mids and highs are sometimes overwhelmed by the bass.
I haven't noticed much of echo effects, so some damping must have been done. I wonder if it puts a toll on the mids and highs, As i believe they can be improved.
