Just picked up a set as well, looking forward to them :)  Excited to do some back to back listening between AKG-271's (my only other closed can) and my HD-600's out of the asgard.

wow, jerb, great thinking.. that would be a eeaaasy solution.. i may just try that out.

I'm really getting sick of my stupid logitech headset for cs'n, etc.. so i was thinking.. wow, it'd be great if i could modify a cheap headset and move the microphone over to the akg's. I'm confident i can find a way to mount it, but i was wondering if you knew of any microphones that would...

I'm very interested in this thread as well. I'm looking for something along the same lines. I have a pimeta built up this way, but i'd like to get something a little higher end, but not exceed the 400 mark.

yeah but the velour pads are deeper, so your ears don't contact as much.. and sit inside instead of touching the pleather etc.

I'm not sure i'll ever find a heapdhone more comfortable than senn hd-80/600/650. My ears stay cool and almost contact free. What more can you ask for.

I like the beyer pads used on the 770's and would like to use them on my akg271's. I like having minimal contact w/ my ears and the headphone. Has anyone done this? If so, what were the steps to make it work, and how were the results? I'd like to hear experience before I buy the pads and attempt...

The switch to saturday has created a problem for me as well. I will be in IL for that weekend till sunday.

I am also a newbie! But i'm in town for the whole summer and would love to meet some fellow head-fiers. I don't have any crazy awesome phones, but i'll bring everything i have if this is open to newbs like myself :-D Thanks! list of stuff i can bring: phones: ksc-35 e3c senn 600's senn...

I'm having comfort issues w/ my 35's. Has anyone found a way to mod them so they dont' clamp so tight? Has anyone successfully modded the drivers into the 75 shell? I'm looking for any kind of solution here, because i love the sound, but can't leave them on for more than 30 min before my ears...

i swear there were live pictures of these in some dudes ear just last night... i was tired... so i went to sleep thinking i'd be able to see them again in the morning and now his posts are gone.. whats going on!

i thought u were going to do some crazy DIY driver removal, i started laughing out loud when the scissors came out.. AHAHaa.. thats great ;-D i may have to try to mod one of my computer speaker sets for the bass also

I havn't heard very many sets of headphones, but i would highly recommend the senn hd-555's. They are only 50 ohm, and can easily be driven by my soundblaster live card. They are exceedingly comfortable, and seem to play everything from country to hard rock well. :-D once again, i'm no pro, but...
