Topic: audio-technica ATH-A900Ti

So, a while back, I ordered some beyerdynamic DT-770 Pro headphones. They were defective and had this sort of tinny sound on highs anyhow, so they got returned; as a sidenote, don't buy from digitalgiftstore.com as it's been a month since the defective merchandise arrived at their warehouse and I still haven't gotten a refund. Anyhow, I still needed a set of sealed headphones, so I did some looking around and came upon the audio-technica ATH-A900Ti. Reviews were few and far between outside of audiophile forums, where I find that each one is a bit too subjective to make a good buying platform. Nonetheless, I did find one that compared to other cans from the same company that gave some reasonable impressions. So I snagged a pair on eBay.

Upon plugging them in right out of the box (via a PenguinAmp Royal amp) I was struck with the impression that they were vastly better than my Sennheiser HD650's. Sound resolution was a lot clearer and I was able to pick out quiet parts of songs I hadn't noticed before or thought were just silence at the beginning of the file (possibly attributed to the fact that open headphones aren't so good in a room with my noisy ass rig). In one song, I could pick out where what I though was just a single bass beat was actually a very rapid succession (sounded like a crowd of people stamping their feet) of sounds. All in all, this set produces much clearer and more precise sound than the HD650's. I'd recommend them to anyone who is looking for a nice set of sealed cans in the $300-$500 range.

fuck you for using uncommon words that I have to look up in the dictionary only to find out that some of them aren't in the fucking dictionary

you said manly avatar, your avatar isn't of a lumberjack, a wrestler, a really big gun, a chainsaw, a monster truck, a tank, or a gigantic burly guy punching through someone's skull. NOT MANLY

You act as though my response was somehow unjustified; as though there were no derisive posts made to merit such venom. Ops, Greenlit. Ops, Fal. Derision for derision.

I was unaware immediate appearance defined a person. I guess there couldn't be some reason or method behind my selection? There could be no story behind the character used that might provide a rational explanation? Impossible, that would make sense!

Find me an equally interesting homepage for my browser. The lack of a suitable replacement is about the only reason I'm still here.

you cant find anything more interesting than evercrest for your home page?

Try google? Or, if you're feeling really wild, the weather channel.

If I go into a place dressed in black clothes with tight jeans on and cut marks on my wrists, what would that say?

Exactly.

Regardless of background, people judge based on appearances.

p.s: your avatar is not manly it's very effeminate.

Well, all we know of your avatar is some fruity looking shot. Yes, for all we know he could punch babies and mouth fuck women until their skin comes off. He could have a chainsaw penis, and rocket hands, but none of that is in the avatar picture. So, he looks like a woman.
