Japan Only, Sony MDR-CD900st Unboxing video
New to me, Japan only Sony MDR-CD900st. A bit of a WTF moment in the video.
A quick listen proved that these are NOT the same as the V6 or 7506. It doesn't have the almost harsh high/mid bump found in the V6 & 7506. These are very very smooth and flat sounding through my Apogee Duet 2. Went through a few of my test tracks and I know I like these headphones. I suspect it will improve after a good break-in [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoXCJWE5po4&feature=youtube_gdata_player[/ame]

I didn't like the thin ear pads on these. I have a pair of Pearstone Deluxe ear pads around the house and decided to try them on the CD900st. WOW! A lot more comfortable and the bass response improved. The bass is sightly more punchy. The highs and mids didn't change much. I really think that with these Pearstone ear pads, the CD900st is a winner.
