Yeah, it seems these drivers perform better with more power...
I heard Mad Dog headphones and compared to Thunderpants costing twice more and can say only one thing if you looking for headphones with well balanced sound go with Mad Dog but if you want emphisized overpowering bass which takes over entire track go with Thunderpants. The only reason i didn't buy Mad Dog's is because when driven by Cowon A3 player the bass is not as deep and punchy as T70p but may be different with different setup
Make every day a fun day filled with music and friendship!

Or, one could just buy a serious amp and have the Mad Dog's * perform as well in the bass department as the Thunderpants.
* Disclaimer: I haven't heard the Mad Dog, nor the Thunderpants. However, I do have my own "mish-mash" version of modified Fostex T50RPs connected to a 2-channel stereo receiver (Yamaha RX-797) and it totally kicks the c*ap out of all the amps I've used up until now as well as just using the headphone out jacks on portable music players. I don't consider on ear, or over ear headphones portable headphones, so it's not a requirement to have ultra-portability. If I want something portable, I'll settle for the iPod classic and some $40 Skull Candy Titans to get me through the day. However, once I get home and I'm able to put on some headphones being driven by a decent amount of power / current, the flowers really begin to blossom. Surprisingly, the regular headphone jack and the Yamaha receiver is really, really good. When I picked up the receiver, I thought I'd be making speaker taps and building some 4-pin XLR cables to handle the task. But, I don't think that move is needed at this point. Price of Yamaha RX-797 = $110 (Just like new, original box, manual, remotes and packing materials).
Hello, everyone. These arrived yesterday, but I was unable to listen due to getting oral surgery that day. The suspense has been killing me, so here's a review.
Overall: 9.5
(Build not figured in because of extenuating circumstances)
Immense bonus points to MrSpeakers, who has been a pleasure to deal with. This review will be updated with my opinions on build quality in two weeks time.
I'd like owners to tell us how solo piano sounds (good recordings). If there are any undue resonances they sure will show up in this test.
