Anyone ever try these out? I have the a900x and they sound great but wanted to know if these sounded any better. Please give me some info if you heard these before. Thanks!

You're asking about two of the more elusive cans on Head-Fi...  They're beautiful headphones but no one could give me any answers about how they sounded so I just went ahead and blindly purchased the A2000X.
 
Compared to the A900X, the A2000X has less bass. The sound in general is leaner and brighter. Very good treble extension, and a more refined, detailed midrange. I think someone here described the A2000X's sounding like the W5000 without the mid-range coloration, which is exactly how I feel about them. Soundstage is above average for a closed pair, between the A900X and the W5000.
 
Soundwise, it's not worth the $300-$500 for these cans IMO, which is exactly why I sold them 4 months later. The A900X is still the best bang for your buck. But they hold their own in terms of aesthetic value - they are uniquely gorgeous headphones.
