Review: Audio-Technica ATH-AD900

 

The AD900s are a well-designed pair of open-air cans that provide a clean, up-front and well-balanced sound. And, they've got wings.

Comfy like a La-Z-Boy, but much more lively. Large 53-mm drivers give a frequency response between 5 and 35,000 Hz. Lightweight, durable design. Ear fatigue not an issue

Bass-heads need not apply. Wearing these, don’t be surprised if people peg you for a Trekkie

Not a bad pickup if you’re into open-backed cans.

The Audio Technica ATH-AD900s are decent performers, and they are certainly comfortable.

Overall, the Audio-Technica ATH-AD900s are good performers for their price range, with the added benefit of being super-comfortable, and having a wide-open soundstage. Though they aren't the most durable headphones on the market, you should be...
