Stick with them for a while without switching back and forth.

do we know exactly why the A900x is like 130 bucks or so more than the previous model ?

Headphonics has it listed for RRP now as they don't even have stock yet. Most other places I've seen them seem to have them priced similar to the A900's. So unless people love the customer service here that much, my bet's things will change once everyone starts getting stock and selling them.

We'll be re-evaluating the price once stock lands, but I'm guessing they will still be priced a little higher than the A900 used to be, and if they're just a cosmetic upgrade there's going to be better choices out there (HM5).

Ok, so i understand that I've been ripping through this thread a lot haha.

I just keep coming up with questions, and it's solely due to the fact i'm curious and trying to figure out the best choice for gaming.

I've decided after reading millions of different forums and reviews on the internet that:

Gaming headhpones are overpirced pieces of audio equipment with a 70 dollar mic and 50 dollar aesthetics whipped on them.

As for the AD-700's they're a good quality sound with a magnificent soundstage due to the open cup design ?

I personally do not like the feel of the AD-700's but if people truley believe that they have a superior sound stage compared to a uhh siberia v2 lets say than i guess you can't really go wrong.

For a headset around the 150 mark the AD700 come #1 due to its magnificent sound quality and superior sound stage?

I have a very limited understanding of headphones but i wish to be able to understand them more.(: hasha...
