FAQ:
Q1: Has anyone had the chance to compare this with the open back Sennheiser HD598 which is similarly priced here on Amazon?
A1: According to a customer who owns both the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900X and the Sennheiser HD598, there is only a slight difference in soundstage between the two headphones. However, the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900X has a slight edge on soundstage, brighter mid and treble frequencies, and more pronounced bass.
Q2: Can you replace the wire or is it permanently in place?
A2: The wire on these headphones is not easily replaceable like on the Sennheiser HD598.
Q3: How do these compare with ad500x and ad700x? I play a lot of PC gaming, especially in FPS where sound cues are very important. I have the ad500x.
A3: According to a customer who owns all three models, the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900X is pretty much the same as the AD500X and AD700X. The customer suggests using an equalizer if you want to use the headphones for gaming.
Q4: How's the bass output compared to other open-back headphones?
A4: According to a customer who compared these headphones to the Sennheiser HD598 and AKG K701, the range and clarity of the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900X is better. In terms of bass, it is similar to the HD598.
Q5: Do you need a headphone amp with these?
A5: No, but they do take well to being amplified.
Q6: My main buying consideration is comfort. Should I buy these or Beyerdynamic DT 770?
A6: According to a customer who has used multiple headphones, including Sennheiser and Corsair, the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900X is the most comfortable they have ever used. The headphones "float" on top of your head and have massive cushions on your ears for hours of use with no discomfort.
Q7: What size is the smaller jack?
A7: The smaller jack is iPhone size.
Q8: Why are they so cheap compared to buying them directly from Audio-Technica?
