the isolation on those cans arnt the best anyways so you most likely notice the diffence. (i have a700''s and are kinda wanting for isolation) but the open ad cans will sound a lot better than the closed ones the open will be a lot smother and have a flater response than the a900's. and the pads are nicer on the ad900

i have the a900 and love it. fantastic headphone. to keep in budget- the x-fi titanium supposedly sound better than preious versions. not as good as a prelude but close.

well, my rig is very close to me and is very loud.

man, this is probably the hardest decision i've ever made. lol


AD900,A900, or A700s..

and I think I'll go with either x-fi titanium ( what's the difference between the regular and fatality?) or prelude.

I'm looking at the Denon AH-D2000 headphones. I found em for around $180. Waiting until after cyber monday to buy them.
I am still taking suggestions if there are better headphones out there for the 100-250$ range.
