Anyone know why the ATH-AD500 was discontinued?

ya ka?
dunno..
i think it's just hard to find kot..
or probably coz they found out ad500 and ad700 not far off.. so had to eliminate one product..
or probably ad700 is replacement of ad500
or.. <insert speculation here>...

How good is ATH-AD500's audio compared to a SteelSeries Siberia?

i would suggest that u go for the ad700 instead of ad500 for gaming. the difference in $$ is not much if u know where to look
ad700 pawns a lot of more expensive cans when it comes to gaming coz of it's expansive soundtage ... steelseries is nothing... really... nothing

I'm not using it for gaming purpose, more to 95% music and 5% gaming only.

then... don't bother with any steel series

steel series mostly for gamers only?

not to say a bad thing to the other branding. but is better you listen then you judge yourself...

politically way to say it

i just say... don't waste time

best gaming headphone

Affordable range ? = ad700
Better ? = HD 650 ?
Start siao siao = hd 800 ?
Retarded = stax ?
Money got no where to spend = orpheus .

steelseries , roccat kave , zalman , razer = i dont think that is for gaming .

Sadly, I agree with the last statement..
On the plus side, I intend 2 get an Ad 900 soon..
Any thing I should be aware of?
And if i may one silly Q~
Ad 900 and A900 has any significant difference?

Thanks for any help I might get from pros here

if you want gaming i would susgest ad900 because of it's wide sound stage

If you want isolation or bass i think you should go for a900. It's a closed headphone

The main diff between the AD series and A series of the ATH line is that AD = open, A = closed
and if you're planning to get AD900 for gaming, may I humbly suggest you also audition the dt880 from beyer? The price is similar and it wouldn't hurt to try both before you decide

juz drop by jaben msia at subang jaya SS15 to test out those headphone before buying..

hey ad700 owner here, wats the quote to get the pads change
also wats the price for ad900 from the local shops here if poss
i was at the pc fair pikom fair and thought the price was very exp considering ur trying to sell high end audio products whose target market are audiophiles which probably already know their way round to get it internationally for lower prices

welcome to the club man....the ad900 is about rm1200

Jaben Msia is selling AD900 around RM1k++

pads change ar? maybe u can try calling / sms-ing yuheng@walabies@sonyericssonbro regarding the pads...

Thanks very much for you answer..
Getting one from Amazon.com soon..
So now go test test 1st..
Tangan gatal gatal..

There goes this's months pocket money~~"
