Ah okay, interesting. Thanks. Oh wait, they are replaceable? If they aren't, then they're a no-go for me.

I just read the pads are glued on - they can't be removed and replaced. That true?

Hmm, aren't Drop products kind of... not the same? I'm still not sure I entirely understand what Drop does.

Hmm, alright, alright. I've been reading that the pads can be kinda weird and fussy; that the material inside the pads moves around a bit or something? Also, how do these bad boys compare to the Aeon Flow 2 and Aeon Noire?

Am I to assume they are low-leakage too, then?

Hey everyone, how's the isolation on the Aeon RT closed? I'm very interested in these cans. :)

Oh no problem :)

I entirely believe you that your pair have and will continue to endure. However, a Google search illuminates a recurring issue with the M70x's build quality.

Ah, yes. I'd have taken a look at the M70X, but the build quality is reported to be terrible.

No, they meant the Sennheiser hd250 linear. It's a very old model. Regardless, thanks for your input - I'm looking at those cans! I don't see myself buying them, though, considering the ever so mixed reviews. I'm kinda toying with the idea of the AKG 271 MKII, though.

Well, I can't find them anywhere. Where are they sold? And I dunno, they just look crappy, hahaha.

What do you mean by "lifeless"? Does pushing an amp to its upper limits reduce dynamic range or something?

I'm really intrigued by these. At first I winced, as their ugly as sin, and boring looking. But they are well-reviewed...

Noted. Though, my reading indicates they may not be particularly analytical? There aren't a ton of reviews on them, so I'm a little disinclined to buy.

Thanks for mentioning this. I was actually wondering if planar magnetics would pose an issue.. I currently have a qudelix 5k, with an unbalanced and balanced out (the latter adds an additional 6db of power). Would the qudelix run DCA cans? I'm rather interested in the Noire, honestly... Though...

They look kinda old and crappy, no? :P my reading indicates I may be able to find something with a better soundstage than that.

Hmm, I do wonder if the Aeon RT, or even the Aeon Noire, would be a better fit.

Hmm, interesting. Aren't they a particularly v-shaped phone, though? Are you able to compare them to the FR of the DT770?

I've never, ever heard of these. My initial Google searches have produced intriguing results. Yeah, I'm gonna check these out...

I'm currently driving my HD600 from a Qudelix 5k, using Oratory1990's EQ presets to hit the Harman target (Oratory's wiki: https://www.reddit.com/r/oratory1990/wiki/index/). I love it, and it's a pretty neutral setup. But I need a closed-back version to rival it, for when I'm at my...

The form factor sucks. The buttons click too easily. Is there even a lock option? I foresee accidental presses...

Haha, yeah? He who shall not be named being the most notorious advocate of the view I pitched? I think I'm inclined to it. I am not privy to any science suggesting otherwise.

I'm loving my HD600. Currently using Oratory's EQ (harman target) for them, driven from my Qudelix (unbalanced). It's exceptional. I've come a long way... had the Sony V6 in highschool, moved on the Ultrasone Pro 900 (yeah, yeah, I know, haha), then got the KRK KNS 8400, and now I have the...

If it's driven to sufficient volume, does it matter? Or do amps actually change sound quality (assuming they meet basic thresholds like inaudible THD and whatnot)?

This may seem like an odd question... But is there any issue with having little headroom left on an amplifier once you've reached your desired volume? Does this do anything like reduce dynamic range? Further, does it matter if my precut is applied in the DSP options or in the parametric...
