I let my friend try them in the car and I didn't hear anything on the outside. Definitely able to be used portable.

I agree 100% with the soundstage, very nice presentation and width.

That was me that said they are basically Ad900 with better bass. Glad you also agree!

 

Glad you're enjoying them, especially coming from the D7000!



 

Hey do these respond well to EQu app on ipod do you think? I like clear and slightly foward  midrange and vocals and dislike overpowering bass(like the ath-m50s are).

Does anyone find the piano kind of unclear? Just wondering, it seems underpowered on my hm5's.

For those looking for a pair. 4 more went up from MP4Nations. Can't beat Amazon for returns and shipping.

Keanex has pictures of them on a styrofoam head, and (I believe) Dragon2knight wears them in his video review

just saw the pictures...hmmm the padding makes it sort of huge on the head... Hopefully I can order a smaller set of pads for these

I'd imagine they'd stick out just a little further than the hd600 on the sides (just based on pictures of the hm5).  And if you do pad swap, be sure to send a pair of the old ones my way wink.gif

Not sure it's a good idea. The clamping force is pretty strong, and the thick padding is what makes it so comfortable. Also I imagine it would change the sound quite a lot. They're actually not that bad. They don't look as crazy on your head as some other full-sized phones do.

I wore mine to work and they were fine. The isolation is also above average for a headphone, not at as good as a good IEM but better than any other headphone I have tried. But keep in mind I don't mind looking like a deranged Princess Leia :-)

Man, I'm sure these are really great for their price and all, but am I the only one who finds them hideous?

They respond amicably to EQ. The mids are clear, and no overpowering bass, so perhaps it won't be as necessary anyway.

I had no proof they were the same, and there's still no definite proof. Either way, even if they are clones, they are $20 cheaper for the same headphone, that deserves the "New Neutral Champ" title if you ask me!

Exactly this.
