Hi!
I love my TH-900 (sound and comfort wise) but they are bulk, I can't commute using them.
Can you kindly help me out to find a smaller size full headphone that has the same sound signature of the TH-900 but can be used outside paired with AK100 II?
Money is not problem now.
 
Regards!

Hmm, TH-600?
 
Seriously, those things do sound special so your work might be cut out. Do you like the smoothness of the 900 model? Smooth and effortless was my impression - I'll have to try them again now.
 
Whether a decent beyerdynamic or something else, you'll have to compromise somewhere, or else get a bigger bag for work!

Maybe you are right about my work! LOL

I love how the TH900 sounds, its smooth, delicate the same time is so clear! The TH600 is still bulky, I think I need  to try some of over the ear headphones =(

Steve, what do you think about MSR7?
 
Reagrds!

I reviewed them on our site hifiheadphones back in December, and thought of them as a suggestion but I needed to know what you want (or want to compromise on) - these are incredible for the money, but coming from the TH-900 you might find them a bit on the bright side.
 
Not that they're overly bright - for me they stop short of fatiguing and I really enjoy them, but we're all different. If you were me, I'd recommend them wholeheartedly as I would be very happy with them. Try them if you can.
 
I'll add that I was trying them with a Fiio X3 which is relatively smooth as well, so the K100 might be a bit edgier.

I like the warm side (the dark side

) I can tell you something.. I have a Momentum and do like it at all, its so congested arghh

Momentums are an easy listen and tonality is good, though.

 

[SteveHiFi]

The Momentum on-ear might be an improvement over the full size but you've ruined your perspective now with the TH-900!
 
Like a meth user trying a cigarette - you'll be lucky to get a buzz, hehe

LOL.
Im tempted to buy an Audeze EL-8, closed version. I like bass, how do you think EL-8 sounds?

Impressions so far say the Closed-Back version of Audeze EL-8 is actually brighter and thinner than the Open-Back, and doesn't have nearly the low-end Audeze is famous for.
 
Give the Shure SRH-1540 a try

 

[Chefano]

Ive narrowed my choice to the Shure SRH-1540 and the focal Spirit (Classic and One S).
​Unfortunately Im in Brazil right now and I don't have access to the headphones to test them
