I really wanna buy these. $600+ dollars in Korea though. Yuck.

Korea's awesome place to demo variety of headphones (at least in Seoul) at but I always find that almost all of the headphones are overpriced there, by at least 20% or so margin...

That leatherette headand won't fit. I have the 1540 and Custom One Pro here. Tried to wrap the COP headband. It won't.
I noticed something with these headphones... they sound a lot better when you do not EQ the bass more than about 3-4db.... These are now my non electronic music headphones and the D2000 have the electronic music. These are good with electronic music but the sound quality in the mids gets a lot worse if you EQ the bass. Actually these headphones seem to hate any sort of EQ'ing.
FWIW, I never use eq to listen to a stereo mix... of commercial releases, or any other final mixes. if I have speakers, iems, or phones that don't sound right to me with no eq... I need to get different ones. otherwise it's just the way the artist intended it, or it's a bad mix and I probably won't be listening to it (unless I remaster it myself).
moral of the story... you shouldn't have to use eq... and you shouldn't use eq.
