I have been using the T51 for few years line out to an Amp but the T51 is kind of outdated and the battery life has been degrading. Any recommendation for DAP with budget up to $300?

Any one uses (velour) these from ebay? Is it ok as replacement or go with the original which is kind of expensive.

I also like the MS2 but may I ask why you prefer them over the MS Pro?

Cos the shipping was later than amazon advice so they refund me the shipping hehe.

By the way, I see you guys using the M50 ear pads but why not the PRO700 ear pads that is round?   PRO700 ear pad on the left, M50 on the right. I have spare 840 ear pads, guess they would fix?

I know proaaa is old, din know the proaaat is more than 10yrs old too...

Quote: Nice :) so you prefer pro4aaat over DJ100? I dunno why people are bashing pro4aaat...are they really that bad? I have heard good things on pro4aaat though.

Quote:   So ESP950 and 4AAA are consider the greatest? Was told 4AAAT was only so-so...   These's another model call ESP250 which are consider good too? How's the modern DJ100? Seems like mix opinion. 

Which headphone is consider the pinnacle of Koss? Pro 4AAA? Regardless of price point that is.

I love Grado but also love HD650. The veil is a myth maybe it is for the first version? There are 3 version if I am award. Black Paper -> Black Silk -> Silver? 

Quote: I look at mine it was using some kind of glue stronger than heat glue. I look at some Grado mod pic and indeed they look like hot glue. Maybe the newer fatboy no longer using hot glue? Anyway I hacked mine using brute force sime tiny scratches not really visible and replaced the...

The grill is also glue using hot glue? Really? If so, nice.

Hi All.   I have this question and hope anyone can help. What is the best method to remove the plastic screen from plastic cup model? By brute force or what? Break it into pieces?   Many thanks.

Hi I wanted to share something which to me a significant improvement with my MS2i.   I first read about the "blue tac" thing on the RS2 and above that helps to improve focus and cut down resonant. I tried sticking a piece of felt on the back of the drivers (not blocking the holes of...

I have the 449 and I wanted to share this. If you see the inside of the 400 series, the hole basically function like a speaker bass port which I believe you guys are trying to mod it. If you guys have experience with speakers, basically speakers design with rear bass port are very sensitive to...

Sennheiser HD201.

To be honest, every time I use the 201 it sound the same as the 449. I had to A/B both 201 and 449 to tell a difference sure the 449 are better but they are that so close but price wise is not that close :-) I have recommended 201 to many people and they are happy about it. They are also better...

Quote:   Hey, I tried removing the capsules but I can't. I use a pen knife to cut the silicon hoping to separate it but it was still stuck there firm. Prying didn't work too. How did you do it?

Sennheiser HD201!

How about Alessandro MS1i? :-)

Nice! I will do it.

Nice :)   "silicon on the HD 428 driver capsules is easy to remove" do you mean it can be easily remove with little force since silicon is soft? or it require some serious brute force?
