I will soon own my first pair of professional headphones, the Audio Technica ATH-AD700. I'm just curious if I'm going to make a mistake by jumping from normal RM50 headphones to AD700. If anyone wants to stop me, this is the time to do so before its too late!

umm... no
buying the AD700 from eBay so have not tried it. I just suddenly got into the world of Audiophiles while just browsing through Skullcandys and Sennheisser HD201. I just thought that if I'm about to buy new headphones I better but SUPER ones lol and therefore I'm suddenly looking to buy headphones retailed at RM600+ from using normal RM50 ones.

I can visit Jaben, but in a month from now as I am away from home. I'm just scared the discount for the AD700 will end soon thus the hassle. Maybe I should just think this through and wait for a month huh?

Alright then, will take heed an advice from a senior audiophile. I need something else to do to clam these jitterbugs!

whoa really? w11jpn is soooooo very expensive lol! The price difference between those is a chasm!

owh lol! '> = to'? I thought '> = more than' lol! So when you said AD700 > w11jpn, I thought you were saying AD700 is better than w11jpn! Ahahaha!

oh my, AD900 is soo much more expensive. I need one, NOW!

the more I read reviews, the more I feel buying AD700 will be a mistake. What if I won't recognize the difference between those and normal earbuds? Guess that is the point in auditioning them first. But still, even if I like the AD700 after auditioning, I just feel that I'm skipping levels. I should be going KSC75 ---> DT231Pro ---> SRH440/SR80i ---> AD700 ---> HD650. I should be taking baby steps into Audiophilia. I mean, the reviewers of professional cans always use terms like "bright", "warm", "cold", "treble", "clarity", etc. I know the words on its own, but when used to describe how headphones, what are they referring to? Oh no, I'm really getting too far ahead of myself... should have just bought a Skullcandy . I'm still fuzzy on how I was browsing through iFrogz and Skullcandys and got here instead... but now that I know that Skullcandys are considered thrash to an audiophile, and now that I know there are much much more better headphones, there is no turning back

lol I was in a ranting mode when I wrote that... I do that sometimes
Anyway, yeah will definitely give them an auditioning. I've heard it's just so very big it gets too lose. I would really hate it if I've auditioned and liked the sound, but couldn't get it to fit on my small head

why, thank you kind sir!

I'm in Penang right now, but don't have transport to go
I wanna try sheenho's AD900!

I go to college in Penang, but I have no car so can't go
