Pick Me A Headset

[25GTT]

I think i am going the 700's will prob pick them up in 2 - 3 weeks as its on the way to visit my bird at the bird boarding place (long story, dont ask)

Really looking forward to picking them up, have heard good news though about those 900's but the extra $$$ could get me a good sound card instead....

First impressions - Not impressed.

The sound is good. The fitment of the headset is terrible as the pads are not thick enough so my ears are jammed against the inner skin and it's quite annoying. Plus due to the headset fitment the entire thing wobbles around if you turn your head removely quick.

I mean the headset sits really well, better than the Senn as you dont really feel like you've got a headset on. But give it 20mins and they slip down and constantly need me to pull them up 1-2cm to get back into a "proper" spot.

They are old (my bros ones), so if after 12 months they end up like they are now, they are a waste of money.

More actual "sound" testing to come

so these are the 900's you are referring to?

[R31Nismoid]

Yep

I've had a pair of AD700s for a while now. I'm very happy with it overall though just moving my head around makes creaking noises that have been getting worse since new,

sounds like you should oil your head

Got some 5W30 in the shed, will that do?

Nah, design issue

edit: shazbot, reread my post.. meant that moving my head causes the headphones to creak
