I can even run CMSS3D on them without them becoming painfully bright.
I can definiatly see they becoming bright on the wrong system since in relationship with my other headphones/speakers these are slightly brighter. Obviously nothing proper system matching can´t fix.

Still curious if somebody have a trick for making the headband more comfortable?
The position of the headband is important,tilt the headband back until the crown of the head rests in the middle of the cradle.
If anyone has a doubt as to the crown its the area that in men causes much pain as they witness an ever expanding ring devoid of hair.

hmm that may be my problem I don´t really have much of a crown. Which is good since yes I will probably get bald when I pass the 50s I estimate by this rate Will experiment further but those angled drives pretty much demand you wearing them straight I would estimate?

Just got my SA5Ks back after being recabled (stock cable had been flaky for some time and finally lost the left channel completely). Still love these headphones*.

 

* Connected to an M^3 with AD843s. I have never wanted for more bass with this setup.

I'm surprised there aren't more mods with this phone. However it's only been recently that the headphone modding trend has really exploded.
