How much and where? Feel like buying it soon. How's the bass like? Looking for the best bassy headphone under RM600

Since you cannot try them for yourself, you might be upgarding sooner than later again after getting them and extent the small world...
Imo... the pl-50s are good, ADX00s are also good, how much better are ADX00s compare to pl-50s? 
Imo... the pl-50s are very comfortable, ADX00s are also very comfortable, how much more comfy are ADX00s compare to pl-50? 

AD700/ AD900 certainly do no have boomy bass compare to pl-50s.

you mean i'm just gonna keep getting poisoned? tongue.gif

well, i just want a comfy n nice sounding headphone to use when i'm in front of the pc

key point is that i can wear it n take it off instantly n constantly tongue.gif

on a side note, since i will be taking the phones off n on constantly, a closed back cans is fine too

m30 or t500 perhaps?

from what i heard, closed back = better isolation and bass right?

oh. forgot to update. my m30 is long gone. now its ath-a500!
i hated pl-50 and m30. pl-50 was bass retarded , and m30. for me with a big ear , made me quite uncomfortable after pro longed usage.

Hello All

My baby AKG K701 is broken so I have an excuse to get a new headphone and I like to try something other than AKG although I love them so much. 

I listen to classical, symphonies, quartets etc, so sound stage and quality are very important.  I like a neutral sound, that produces sound as they should with no bias to bass or treble etc. 

I have my eye on the ATH-W1000X but appreciate that expensive headphone does not mean it will suit my taste.  Just wondered if anyone has any ideas?

Many thanks!

hmm wondering which ATH will fit me, i use an X-Fi card and i listen music randomly everytime i sit in front of my PC, and also a ATH good enough for my COD4 gameplay maybe..

Hi guys, audio technica ESW-9 or m50 better in term of quality of sound?
I always listen to jazz and pop music.. M50 is the sound Which is always flat but how about ESW 9?

Changing from K701 > W1000X is a big different. i guess you need to listen on this. cause the sound it may not suitable to you. W1000X is wood cup headphone and what actually sound like is natural tree sound, very nice midd and high is not bad too..suitable for rock, pop, instrument or classical. Soundstage is like a grand piano wide sound...if you want to have a listen or try you may come for this even : https://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1807025

Thanks for the ideas.

I know it's a bit hard to describe, but what do you mean by different between the two? I know it's a closed can design but that's about it.

I have read quite a few comparison and some even said it is a 701 killer.

I like to try it but trouble is I am in London and I don't know where I can try.

Many thanks.

It's hard for 1 headphone to kill another.
Due to different sound signature, if i remember correctly based on my previous observation on both k701 and w1000x, both sounded different.

k701 is towards bright sounding and
w1000x sounded slightly warm (perhaps i prefer bright cans), and with the special effects (natural tree sound) that describe by bro Akabane, lol.

i may suggest ath-ad1000prm to you (bright sounding), which i am currently using...
if k701 sounded like you are standing at the center of big open field, ad1000prm will sound like you are standing on the top of the hill.

k701 (big sound stage) vs ad1000prm (open refreshing air)
Sorry, i am not good at describing sounds. 

Oh ya, no love for ath-ad1000prm here? 
Imagine standing at the top of the hill? It's so relaxing... lol, well, i am just disturbing over here.

I tried ad1000prm at Jaben, still far far away from ad2000. Maybe the Jaben's can havent burn-in, but from what i remember, everything is in a mess in ad1000prm.

If you prefer go for Orchestra then this will understand more. Yup is much more like a grand piano sounding and how wide it is. to get this sound, you need a proper amp to drive it up. Amp is a must for all Audio Technica Woody series. What TechMy describe is right. mostly is hard for you to accept a very different sound signature when you already adopted a AKG. Totally different.
Bro, thanks for clarify. hope to see you in gathering.
Actually what you listen is not burn in. AD1000rpm is almost in same with AD2000. AD2000 is much more on more juices on the vocal and soundstage is more wider. But you can see the different of the price right?? it kills.

Everything is in mass in ad1000prm? May i know what kind of songs that you listening at?
I think you are referring to instrument separations, especially there's a lot of instruments playing.
Yupz, that's not ad1000prm's strength.
Trust me, ad1000prm have it's own strength... come, for the coming gathering organized by Bro Akabane.
Anyone using the AD2000 here? any chance to test it on the coming ATH gathering?
AD1000prm is good for Vocal too, especially for the voice of sweet young girl.   

hmm any possible ear pad modifications for the AD900? i cant seem to use my AD900 for long as i sweat a lot, and after long periods sweat will be gathering around my ear causing a lot of discomfort, and the need to open up the headphone and wipe off excess sweat is just a turn-off especially when my favorite music plays.

no one have anything for the above?

you mean a earpad???
