I currently use ATH-A700 as my headphones for listening to music at my computer, as well as playing videogames. I've had them for about 10 years and I'm starting to get some intermittent noises that make me think there's a loose connection starting to develop. Doing some brief looking online any possible repair would involve soldering which I don't know how to do and given their price it probably wouldn't be worth it to have some place repair them?? A quick google tells me that the headphones are no longer sold. What replacement options would ya'll recommend? I do want to stay with a closed style, currently I also have a modmic attached to the headphones for gaming purposes, are any of the gaming headphones with built in mic worth the purchase if I want audio quality and headphone comfort to the same level or better than my current headphones?

Amazon has an estimated ship date of March for one I've been keeping my eye on. I'll be curious to see if they do give you a response. Update on this, AT hasn't gotten back to me but I happened to see they were in stock on amazon last night and placed an order that should arrive Feb 5 or so. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01AYZZE24/

Thought I'd post a mini-review of my A990Z's now that I've had them for a few weeks. I won't attempt to compare the sound quality beyond saying it seems fine/the same. I was never an expert and my left ear hearing is messed up. With that said the ear pads are circles and the padding sucks, and I get static shocked with these ones whereas my old ATH-A700s I never got static shocked. Google tells me it's a general thing that happens but still very annoying. I actually swapped the pads with a new pair of pads I had on hand for the ATH-A700 which are larger oval shaped and seem to have better padding as well. Made the new setup more comfortable and reduced the amount of static shock times to, well, a lot less. I think they'll serve me well, hopefully for as many years as the old ones did.
