Are the earpads replaceable on these? If directions to replacements (maybe velour) would be helpful.


They are replaceable. I think that was mentioned earlier in the thread. I took another members advice and got the shure HPAEC1540 alcantara pads which are fantastic. I'm sure that the velour version of those pads will fit nicely.

I saw that but was wondering if anyone had tried any others and what make.
The Shure HPAEC1540 are expensive, close to £50, thats just unreasonable.
  how are the bass in these? for edm and classical (dat wagner)


The bass is good, i don't like a strong overpowering bass though. I don't listern to EDM, send me a link to somthing you like and i'll give it a whirl. I have found they respond well to adjusting the bass on my phones EQ, so on a better settup i imagine the bass would be easy to adjust to your desired level.

Those are very long pieces, I could watch 2 films for the legnth of the last 2!
 
I listened to the first one from my phone (PC sounds horrible) and tried another live outdoor one, i would say the bass in classical is rarely prominent and the same is so for the hall of the mountain king, the bass is clear and as it should be, with the rumbles sounding nice.
 
If you want a HP for a lot of EDM listening these may not be forused enough on  the bass for you, but you will hear any bass that is meant to be there. I listen to a bit of Faithless and it sounds great on these.

Calling all headphone owners, including those owning the HP200! Want a free printed measurement of your headphones and want to help Innerfidelity get vintage, unobtainium and underrated headphones measured for the masses? Package and ship them to Tyll! Details at the link below:
http://www.innerfidelity.com/content/new-push-headphone-measurements


I have just emailed Tyll with an offer to send him my HP200.  Thank you for highlighting this program---I was one the three "votes" for measuring the HP200, but I imagine that your posts are reaching others who were not familiar with Innerfidelity.

Hey I do not have a lot of time(in doctors office) and I was wondering if anyone has paired the HP200 with the DX90 and had positive results? I know the DX90 maybe isn't warm enough with the HP200, but honestly I would not know being that I have never listened to the HP200 only the HP100. I also have the Meier 2move, iBasso PB2, and Bluebird ws 1.2 for portable amps. The first two I listened to are on lower gain settings due to the Fidue A83 and Earsonics SM64 v2 that are my main IEMs. Please let me know if any of you had heard or own the combo and have had good results. Thank you

Do these have enough sub-bass punch for pop music?

  i think they have. but what's your source and music? (could test some specific tracks if you need)

 
Nexus 6 to FiiO E18 DAC/AMP.  How about Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson?

Just picked an almost new HP200, so far I like what I'm hearing :)

They are not bad at all. The highs can be a little piercing/fatiguing...I put on the shure alcantara pads, they do help with that. Honestly I haven't heard my HP 200's in at least a year or two. Maybe I'll throw them in the mix soon :) Glad to see you are enjoying them.
