Koss (InterFunk) HV/99 - most likely an HV/2A OEM.
But has HA/1A headband.

InterFunk was a German/Swiss distributer of sometimes re-branded products.
HV/99 seems to be HV/2A cups/drivers + HV/1A headband + InterFunk branding.

DIY memory foam pads added by me... they sound FILTHY...
...less dense (stock) foam required for more neutral sound... this is too much bass, but also fun in it's own way.

I should be able to get my hands on a ath-9000 soon, really looking forward to compare it to ath-8 and ecr-500

 

[Bingturong]

Very curious to see how it compares, I don't think I've ever saw any reviews on an ATH-9000.

The nostalgia of unboxing vintage Headphones again after years sure brought back a lot of memories!
Thank to my buddy, Michael @GREQ

I wonder, was it 'basshead' before or after the ear pads exploded?

Sometimes, when the foam is exposed like this, it can create a 'bass trap' kind of effect.
Similar to how some Beyerdynamic and Shure ear pads work.

 

[B7RS4]

You are right, I switched to beyerdynamic verlour pads after a brief period due to comfort, the degraded pads are definitely bassier.

Did some comparison with ATH-8 out of the same converter box, I would say ATH-8 is overall better constructed and has better technicalities, ATH-9000 excels at bass quantity and has an edge in dynamics. For now they won't replace ECR500 in my main headphone setup but there are definitely some more potential with these.

 

[Bingturong]

Now I wonder how the ATH-80 would slot in there. But its definetely surprising to hear that the ATH-9000 are bassy.

My favorite headphone. The K340 Rocks!
I don't need a graph to tell me just how great this headphone sounds.
If you spend some time with the green driver model, you may think very differently about it.
