Yamaha HPH-150B Open-back Headphones?
Has anyone tried the HPH-150 headphones? They are the higher-end model version of these on-ear headphones which Yamaha makes. And the price seems to have gone down to about $80-$90. Yamaha seems to make these for use with electric pianos. But they don't give much info about that, i.e. is that...- thee avid

HD25 earpads in velour
Thanks! I saw those, but had to rule them out because shipping was $35.00 when I tried to order them. I haven't found an alternative site to order from. Kind of suspect Sennheiser discontinued the velour ones... shouldn't a part for a popular Sennheiser headphone be easily found, since as a... -
HD25 earpads in velour
Anyone know of a source for HD25 earpads in velour? Sennheiser "makes" an official black velour earpad which I can't find for sale in the US anywhere. :triumph:- thee avid

Seeking ear pad vendor recommendation which sells by dimensions
Can anyone recommend a reputable pad vendor who sells pads by size? I’d like to be able to buy, say, a universal 85mm round pad to pop on my Beyer DT240 pro… also a 75mm round pad for my Yamaha HPH headphones, you get the idea. I'd rather not get the generic ones from eBay/Amazon/etc.- thee avid

Breathability: on-ear, or over ear with velour?
I picked up a pair of Brainwavs perforated oval pads and put them on a pair of ATH-SR30BT, they did wonders for the breathability and comfort. I have no way of knowing if the perforations helped to cool them. It seems like thicker pads and thus a larger chamber of air around the ears is...- thee avid

Behringer BH40 and BH60
Has anyone else tried these? I just picked up some BH40 headphones from Behringer, and I'm intrigued. They sound pretty tasty to listen to, with nothing jumping out that irks me on first listen, to disqualify them. Crisp sound, sparkly. The high and lower mids seem to co-exist like sections of...- thee avid

Thoughts on Turnstile TAPH500, and the $50-$100 price range
Has anyone tried these? They have a removable cord and at $60 are Turnstile's middle option of 3 similar headphones. I like the idea of something durable at the price point with a removable cord. Related question- What do you think of the $50-$100 range in general? I like the idea of picking up...- thee avid

Breathability: on-ear, or over ear with velour?
Good point, regarding the clamp. That tighter clamp might be a reason why the ATH-M60x don't necessarily feel cooler to my ears than the ATH-M50x. I did some more research. Curious about the Sennheiser HD 569. I also wonder if perforated earpads increase cooling.- thee avid

Breathability: on-ear, or over ear with velour?
I am trying to find some breathable < $200 studio headphones I can wear for mixing for 2-3 hours at a time. I want closed headphones, to block out air conditioner/street noise, etc. I have been going through reviews on RTINGS.com, which has a breathability score (very helpful). Their research...- thee avid

akg "conference" headphones? - akg k20/k15
Adding these, AKG K15. Another conference headphone, but with no foam at all. I wonder what the level of fidelity on a headphone like this would be. https://www.akg.com/pro-b-stock-sale/K15-B.html?dwvar_K15-B_color=Black-GLOBAL-Current#q=k15&start=1- thee avid

akg "conference" headphones? - akg k20/k15
These headphones caught my eye because I like a grado or koss ksc75 style headphone, i.e. on ear and with a flat pad. Can anyone remark upon the fidelity of these headphones, which are described as "conference" headphones, i.e. meant for schools and court rooms? See also the next post in this...- thee avid

Which breathable headphones?
Thanks for getting unique with the suggestions! Loving the style of the Ergo and the Sony MDR-F1. I also might try at some point the Venture Electronics VE Monk and Yincrow X6. I ended up ordering the ATH to see how they feel on my head.- thee avid

MacGyvering a Headphone Amp?
Hi! I respectfully seek your opinions on an idea I had. The Tube MP is a popular Microphone preamp made by ART. I own one based on recommendations for home recording, and I never use it. This preamp has an input and an output jack, and a tube inside, not unlike a headphone amp. The question...- thee avid

Which breathable headphones?
Hello folks, I seek your opinions! Which from these 3 choices of headphones would you recommend, based on which is the most breathable? That's right, I am concerned with just the physical air circulation to your ears in this case, not sound quality. I am also happy to hear other suggestions in...- thee avid
