"Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review - Page 294

I am currently shipping the black v-Moda cable.  I don't guarantee the cable color won't change, it's driven by availability and they don't always have the volume of cables I need available...

Just put in an order for a refurbished pair at $270. Now I'm excited for next week!

Yep pioneer SX-650. Got it from salvation army $40. Bit of deoxit and it sounds awesome. At some point I will add xlr to MD's and then get a xlr-speaker taps adapter and run these off the vintage taps.

Back in the day, I was this >< close to buying a Pioneer SX-650. Later, I always wished I had done it!

It's funny. The MD's have been at work for the past two months. At home I use the hd650 most of the time. Now that I have a second set of MD's for home, it's all the I reach for since I got them in. 

 

It's the seductive ortho mids that draws me in. It use to be all about the bass for me. Then I still wanted bass but I began to appreciate the mids and a darker detailed treble. Now I have it all with the MD.

Hmmm, I just received my brand new  headphones this Friday. Is there any way that you can package one of those cases with the Alphapads you are sending me?

 

I included a bag with the Alpha pads for those who took Dog Pads while the Alphas were on backorder to thank everyone for their patience.  The Alpha Pads are all shipping tomorrow.  

I'm a big fan of the new look. To me the barking dog always felt a little bit... tacky. I'm also very excited about the prospect of all black darth dogs. Looks like I'm running out of excuses to not order these... I think the Alpha Pads + new simple design is pushing me over the edge.

Why did you buy two sets? You like them even more than I thought you would! 

Oh Matt,  

I have my Mad Dog at the office and pair with a DragonFly, and I love it to death (better than my Sen HD650 (MD sounds fuller) & HE-400 (MD sound less fatigue and more comfortable) - both pair with O2/ODAC).

 

I admit that I bring my Mad Dog back home sometimes in the weekend, to enjoy it with my O2/ODAC (better synergy, more details than DragonFly). Now you make me want to sell the rest of my headphone collection and have 2 pairs of Mad Dog.

I like not being alone in the 2 MD club.  

 

I'm also in for a set of the black out stickers (for my work pair).

 

They just seem to hit the check boxes better than anything else for me. I love the slightly dark presentation. 

 

The MD sounds really good from my vintage amp, but just wonderfully good from the lyr. 

 

Black stickers rule!! Now I've got to get somebody to power coat the bronze armature on these matte black and then I'll be done. 

How do you guys find your mad dogs for gaming?

I really love them for gaming. The comfort allows me to play for hours without problems, just a little warm at times.

The isolation and detail lets me hear footsteps and movement very well. I also enjoy the darker highs to dampen some distracting and fatiguing sounds from guns and explosions.

That said, they won't be the most exciting can available if you're playing a story driven game that is more like a movie. I still find them more than adequate for that though, its just you won't be blown out of your seat with them, and sometimes that's a good thing.

Do you think you're still gonna have the black cables later in the week when the black stickers are available?  I was gonna order some Mad Dogs along with those stickers, and I'd really prefer to have a black cable as well.
