I have the AD900X, A900X and the AD500X. I love the 3D wing design on these, plays nice with the hair (what's left, lol). I sure do wish all my headphones had this design. The AD900X is super light (unlike the A900X) Only thing I don't like about the design of these headphones is that the cable is not removable. For the sale price, not a terrible deal although the headphone isn't really anything special.
The AD700X is probably the more popular headphone for FPS gaming, the AD900X has an increase in bass at the cost of some clarity. The bass really isn't one of the strengths of this headphone, there is enough there to keep everything from sounding flat and deflated. I do love the AD900X for general gaming. It has a generous soundstage much like the X2HR which really helps you to get into the game.
Between the AD900X and X2HR, I'd much rather use the X2HR. The X2HR has all the same strengths but way better bass which makes for a more engaging experience for me in both music playback and gaming. I do come back to the AD900x often because the wing design plays nice with my hair and is still a competent headphone to listen to music. I liked the design so much I picked up a AD500X for the office.

RamboneAD900X's clarity isn't intruded upon by the bass in the slightest, unlike your claim. Bass is too weak for that, as you yourself can hear. The Sennheiser HD25 is an example of a headphone whose bass actually intrudes into the upper frequencies. It's the lack of perforations on the inner side of the earpads that hurts clarity and gives AD900X a boxy sound. AD900X needs bass boost, if anything. The original AD900 (non-x) had perforated earpads. Cutting small holes into AD900X pads unleashes clarity and helps open up the sound. Pictures of Beyerdynamic DT880 earpads will give you the idea. Easy to find via Google.

Valensilius_ZephyrusJust my impression vs the AD700X, not that the bass is all that impressive on the AD900X to begin with and when I mean loss of clarity, I mean really miniscule but it should be noted if I had to find something to nitpick. No doubt the AD900X can be improved through pad swaps, alterations or EQ but I moved on from the AD series long ago to the Philips Fidelio X2HR. The X2HR felt like an upgrade in almost every way right out of the box while keeping the same sound stage. The X2HR I've come to learn can sound wildly different from ear to ear. I've looong since moved on from the X2HR and am rocking the Hifiman Edition XS at this point which I feel is a direct upgrade from there. The bass is pretty damn good with an iFi single Xbass or double Xbass boost.

More bass!
I currently have the the HD 6XX, which sound great but, I'm am looking to upgrade the power of the bass as i really enjoy punchy low end EDM music. Any suggestions in the $200-$300 price range would be awesome.

Trying to add Topping LA90D amp to Topping A9D preamp
Any help would be appreciated...I added an amp to my streamer, dac, headphone amp/preamp system and am now not getting any music through the headphone jacks on the preamp - the specifics: Wiim Pro Plus - optical connection to - Topping D50 iii dac - TSR to XLR connection to - Topping A9D headphone amp/preamp (all worked fine as a headphone amp until I tried adding:) - XLR connection to - Topping LA90 D amp. Amp switches are set to bypass, stereo, low gain. In this configuration, I am not getting any music to either my SE or XLR headphone jacks. I made sure I switched the A9D to "preamp" and "xlr" modes. I have no idea what I might be overlooking or missing...any thoughts would be deeply appreciated! Thank you.

Mic not working pc38x
I just got my pc38x in the mail today and the out put is quiet but fine and I'm happy. But the mic will not work when on my Xbox series and I was wondering if this issue can be resolved or if the head set is not compatible with Xbox.
