errmm.. maybe u can try looking for those high pitch vocals.. honestly i find that the high of ad900 is a bit ear-piercing/harsh.. in my case, Andrea Bocelli -Con Te Partiro and Celine Dion -It's All Coming Back to Me Now.. luckily my amp can soften the high a lil bit..

ic.. shall try the amp when ive the chance.. =]
im using a hybrid amp, it softens the high and mid, boosting the low thus make the bass punchier.. am really satisfied with the performance..

btw, made my first visit to Jaben Penang.. kena poison by A2000x.. >.<

oh, i forgot to add in my GoVibe DAC..
the high only appear to be harsh when i plug the headphone directly to the jack on pc..

my setup is PC -> DAC -> Hybrid AMP -> AD900..

@aztoiozalan
gratz bro.. having eargasm now?
don't know about ad700 as never tried it, but ad900's high without amping is definitely ear-piercing for me.. i love listening to the sweet high pitch which can give me goosebump though..

u guys keep mentioning woodies.. so wana try it but havent gotten the opportunity, wait until Jaben PG brings it here la.. then only i can decide whether go for A2Kx or W series..
btw, tried AD1000PRM in Jaben pg the other day too.. not really to my liking.. =/

@Quazacolt
wow.. good work done!! gratz!! have another good read there.. and the headphone does give a different 'aura' after u change the earpad.. perhaps a kingly aura?

not only as tuning but also comfy aite.. i daresay quaza bro can use it for a longer time for each session of listening now..
i find myself uncomfortable after wearing the headphone for 3-4 hours, i could really feel the driver pushing and pressing on my ears.. and with my thick frame glasses make thing worse..

ahhh.. i don't know man, am really on an extremely tight budget lately.. way until the end of year..
plus, my setup right now really deliver the sound to my liking, kinda afraid the SQ to go the opposite of my preference after changing the earpad..

10 hours omg.. that's really something.. do u not feel ur ears a lil suffocated, even though it doesn't cause any uncomfortable?

oh ya, what about Clarino earpad? anyone using it? the earpad for A2000x..
if they are selling it by any change, will it fit for AD900? and cheaper than the leather earpad perhaps?

but AD series is not suitable for portable one.. they are big, quite bulky to bring around..
and they are open cans, environment sound will definitely go inside and pollute ur music..

maybe u guys can try IEM? very portable indeed..

hi there, i've tried AD1000PRM before.. really not to my liking, i like AD900 more.. maybe the mid low coloration is jz too much for me, thus making the SQ a bit weird for me..
i stopped listening to it within 10 minutes and tried on A2000 later which i straight kena poison..

never tried AD2k though..

duno la bro.. the second i listen to it, it really sound very weird to me.. for me, the sound is kinda unnatural..
about amping, well i tried it in Jaben Pg, plus not my own source.. so i can just talk about my first impression of the headphone instead of comparing it with AD900 or how does it originally sound?

ya, i would say the bass is there.. but not very deep and strong bass though.. it's open can after all..
btw, if u enjoy trance, AD300 is very suitable.. i never tried AD700, but from reviews i think it is more to detail compared to AD300..

i tried M50 before, well, to be honest i found the headphone kinda boring and dull..
no offense to those monitor phones lovers, but these phones are just not my cup of tea..
maybe they need amps to pour in a bit colour?

if we buy headphone or amp there, will we kena tax by custom when bringing it back here?

icic.. heh..
last time heard the figurine kena tax or what not duno la.. maybe they brought too many..

btw, there are lotsa bargain over there aite? hehe..

even if still in the box also no prob eh?
anyway, who has experience buying headphones/amps in akiba? can share2?

that must be kinda creepy eh..
icic, so there's no problem with either hand carry or check-in baggage..
but there's still one issue im worrying about, what IF the headphone/amp spoil? the warranty issue is gona be a pain in the arse..

Wouldn't AD300 bottleneck D12's performance?
pairing D12 with AD300 is kinda overkill..
