Anybody know a good EQ of the MSR7's to make the more neutral and open? I have a 31-62-125-250-500-1K-2K-4K-8K-16K equalizer in poweramp. I brought the 8K band down -3dB and it sounded much more open.
I have just bought a used pair of these, with aftermarket generic earpads which are a bit deeper than the stock ones.
Had to add 14db of low shelf boost for these not to sound like a small radio. Removing the felt from the driver's back didn't help much.
Besides EQing, are there any tips for these to sound more balanced? I'm no basshead, by the way.
That's very unfortunate, since I can't buy the originals anywhere. They are out of stock from ATH's website. In fact, any headphones that dont have original earpads ready for sale are essentialy disposable, unless people like to mess up with the projected sound profile.The thing about the MSR7, is that it was carefully tuned, for use with the stock pads. Many people have tried different pads, (such as HM5), yet they sounded bad. I have not tried anything different than stock. You should try to find an oem replacement, or something as close to it as possible, imho.
I've heard that the Yaxi microfiber StPad, sounds pretty good, (although that is only hearsay from my point of view).

Thank you for the tip on the Yaxi pad!

I am pretty sure I replaced my worn ones with these. https://www.amazon.com/Replacement-...1&keywords=msr7+earpads&qid=1632407907&sr=8-4
I can check when I get home. They look just like the originals and didn't change the sound at all.
I got the Yaxi MSR7 Comfort pads, and they are indeed very comfortable and sound good. I'm just not 100% satisfied with the upper bass of this headphones. They sound kind of "cuppy". But I'm not afraid of a little EQ, so everything is good
My MSR7 had the brown band and headband. But the headband cover wore and got this one. Now it all black.
Sweet, I have seen that cover before. Couldn't find it at the time. What is the brand and model info? Your looks thicker, with more padding than mine, kinda jealouzzz.
It was this one. https://www.amazon.com/Geekria-Head...00OVWQIT0/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
It is very hard to find a decent headband replacement, I tried the geekria cloth one, terrible! Then someone said on amazon it fit their MSR7's. Although it does, its very tight and I had to tear off the rest of the deteriorated headband coved to get it on.
No but Audio Technica did bring them back improved with balanced cables and even better specsHi everyone!
I've tried to find an answer by searching this thread and failed. So, i'm going to ask and hope somebody here has the info i need
So. the question is: can MSR7 be used with the balanced cable? You know, the one with a 2.5mm jack. I' m quiet pleased with this phones but that balance out on my Cain N5 just keeps taunting me and my curiosity. So, is there a chance i could finally test it without buying some new pair of phones?
Thanks.
The tuning has changed. balance of mids and treble has shifted with acoustic changes and driver changes. 'Better' is subjective, on their thread there are owners who strongly preferred the original, YMMVNo but Audio Technica did bring them back improved with balanced cables and even better specs
