oh the AD series leak like hell, FAR worse than ksc75 ever would. you may want to look into the A series, or the w1kx (woodies ) if ur budget can stretch that far, additionally m50 is a good choice, though those are monitoring headphones and some people prefers their headphone to be "fun" and "lively" than pure monitoring accuracy.

ha ha ha... thanks for the tips... i will come back to the thread later on...

im only worried he not satisfied later with sub 1k headphone... after all, we have been spoiled by Dynaudios

That's very understandable as dyn audio also got involve in car audio, you don't see me recommending anything less right?

Hi there..anyone know hows the signature for ESW9??
Is the isolation good???

What earpads is good for this Ad900 gaming?

as mentioned above/before, that would be the w5000 ear pads. bear in mind that it costs almost RM300 though lol

the whole AD series is open air , of course it will leak sound!

is there any better headphone than ad900 for metal music? IMO, ad900 is really excel in this kind of fast music.....

w1000x is the nxt step new generation woodies , great for em rock

i personally dont think the ad900 is particularly excel on metal, however if you like that open soundstage, and especially that coloration or signature on the trebles, and strong mids, then yeah definitely.

better headphones, i wouldn't know, however i have been hearing that grados are particularly good for rock/metal, and they have much better "energy" than the AD900 or AD series in general.

i have grado sr60i too....but i still prefer ad900 for metal because every note is clear and distinctive, especially the bass......
maybe, higher end grado may sound better than ad900.......
but only problem is some female vocal sound weird to me in ad900, it's like "grainy" a bit.......especially, alison krauss voice.....
do u have this kind of problem,Quazacolt?

aztoiozalan, nasib baik u didn't ask me to walk everywhere......
it's ok, belum cuba, tak kena racun.......so can resist the temptation!

oh that is rather interesting coming from a grado owner, more so the bass comment, as i have known that the AD series aren't particularly good in bass until you reach the flagship of the series AD2000 which have a emphasis on low-mid/low (bass).

as for female vocals, i think if its higher pitched ones, with the AD900 sound signature/coloration, then it *may* appear grainy to some, or maybe harsh. i'm not particular familiar to alison krauss so i cant comment further on that i'm afraid. ^^;

hey ya guys...any1 of u hav try claim warranty with audio technica at malaysia before? i wanna claim mine SJ-11....the left handside earphones are spoil it just one month old +

firstly, try to claim from the source you bought it from with receipt, should be ok.

if there are any issues then you bring it up over here, or to audio technica malaysia directly

Quazacolt, if it is possible, can u post a youtube link of female vocal that u find harsh with ad900?
sorry for the trouble, just want to make sure nothing wrong with the headphone......
thank u very much for ur help......

i tried to find audio technica malaysia by using google...but dun have any result as it point it to singapore only

do you have any ideal where i able to claim it directly with audio technica malaysia?

sending back to the source i bought will takes ages for sure

well i did mentioned "to some", in which for me, i find it perfectly fine lol.

as for youtube, that would be pretty tough either even if i have female vocals that i find harsh, as its kinda tough to be analytical over youtube quality

Quazacolt, it's true that youtube is not the best way to analyze the sound.....
thank u anyway.....
