I don't think the vast majority of the population would ever call the MA900 bright. Nothing bright about them. They are dark/warm AND mellow. Dunno how anyone would call them bright, really.
So, got these headphones a few days ago and yeah very impressed. Having read MLE's guide (cheers btw), I opted for these to use alongside my AD700s, now I will use the MA900 probably 90% of the time, if I was gaming competitively then I would grab the AD700 but the MA900 is so much more fun to game with but still with a decent soundstage.
Just one thing though, as others have stated, there isn't much to the stock pads, and my ears are slightly touching the driver padding. So my question is, is there an alternative pad worth getting which will help with my issue yet still retaining as much of the signature/soundstage?
Thanks in advance guys.
I really don't see the hype with lossless recordings. I got a bunch of lossless recordings that I listen to on Jriver MC 19 with Sony Ma900. I also listen to music on youtube and pandora radio for more variety and they are both said to not have good audio quality. I think Pandora radio is said to be like 64 kbps or something but I can't really tell a difference. Sometimes it even seems to me if the same song comes on radio that I have in Flac format I prefer the pandora version.
I guess these headphones just arn't revealing of flaws in recordings which is fine by me. I have never experienced a high end headphone but from the sounds of it, they don't sound that appealing to me. Less bass, more expensive, more dependent on equipment, Also I would have to be stuck listening to just well recording music. I'm not a fan of classical and lots of the common audiophile music.
If I ever somehow end up with a load of money and nothing to spend it on, the only high end headphone that actually sounds appealing to me is the Audeze Lcd 2.

I've been liking this headphone, but headband is so flawed. It doesn't keep the adjustment well at all. Also, even though it is so lightweight, the headband isn't padded enough to make it 'disappear'. It puts a noticeably pressure point on the top of my head. The cloth material just isn't thick or spongy enough for perfect comfort.
The adjustment holds very well for me. As for the headband, it doesn't bother me since they're so light. The reviews may have skewed your judgement.
How do you like the sound? I still haven't found anything I like more. The soundstage is just soooo good.
