 It's like a big chain store like a Comp USA or some big family friendly electronics store like that. Vacuum cleaners to HD800's and everything in between

I was talking about e-earphone originally.
 
I was saying that many shops like EDION Best Denki and Yamada Denki have lots of headphones as well. EDION in my neck of the woods is probably the biggest. (Yamaguchi pref)

btw i just got magni 2 uber a couple days ago. last week maybe?
 
your ma-900 could sound very different if you amp it. just fyi. i used to use fiio e10k, and now i use magni 2 uber, the difference in midrange is significant. significant enough that i was surprised because initially i believed that efficient headphone like ma-900 wouldn't have any significant difference without nitpicking.
 
idk why. probably because fiio e10k is warm. anyway, i like it!
 
btw i also bought dt880 around 3 weeks ago, it arrived two days ago. i think in terms of music enjoyment ma-900 can go toe to toe with it.
 
hope that illustrate how much value people can get from this headphone.
 
in fairness, it lacked behind in detail retrieval and bass extension, but i enjor the music similarly with both. leaning towards ma-900 in terms of comofort

 I think you have gotten me  totally confused with another?

I think the ma 900 kick the **** out of the 880. It's not close.
70mm bass lens having.... wide open back .......so light they can be forgotten about.
Mids are awesome, stage is wide, vocals clear and bass goes to the human audible depths. I have new Akai that will not go there even with an eq. Need a physical mod. As the vid shows using a track soaked in sub-bass...the track we test bass cans with...these need an eq bump and nothing more to get your 30Hz fix. One of the 3 hits in the first track is 33Hz. Coming in clear as can be.
 

Spoiler: Warning: Spoiler!

 
DT880...
45mm well built cans that do nothing in particular better than anything else. IMO
 
Enjoy them. There is a thread on here somewhere for em'

Sorry.
I get confused on here sometimes. I am not a Sony fan but i love the ma 900 and i think it's the best use of the 70mm they did. Really good stuff.  The 880 are obviously sweet cans worth the money. I'm just a big fan off these

Well it turns out I have the Sony MDR-MA900 back again, my brother didn't want them anymore since I gave him the K612.

So far not really good on my main system, could simply be bad synergy. Will experiment more on other systems and portable devices. They are painfully grainy and smeared sounding compared to my HD 600, DT 150, and K712. My ears are fatigued and hurting at around 50-60 db listening levels in a matter of minutes.

Folks used to say the Q40 were bass monsters so I am familiar with wild overstatements but wow....long time no see.

I think it may be bad synergy but I kept listening to it at different times with different tubes and my ears were getting sharp pains especially on vocals which sounded oddly brash to me. I'm thinking the mids are too forward on the Lyr 2 and/or my DAC for the headphone.

My 601's have been in the repair shop for about a month now and I've been using the 900's exclusively since.
I've come to love the 900's with my Little Dot III tube amp.
My impression of these cans are they're unforgiving...if the recording is great...that's what you'll get.
If the recordings suck...
 
It will be interesting to hear my AKG's once they get back.
