Mesh/foam on earbuds
I didn’t know where to ask this, so I do here - the Yuin OK2 came with some sorta plastic foam (guess most of you’ll know) - and I like their sound better with the foams with small holes in it instead of the "donut foam". Unfortunately, I broke one of them because they’re quite hard to apply (I...- aureus

If I sold all my headphones... AD2000? Electrostats? Something Else?

Audio-Technica Announces A1000X and A2000X
I’ve bought a MacBook Air ~5 hours ago. Anybody interested? Just kidding. Guess I’ll have to wait some months before I’d be able to buy one of those..- aureus

Denon D2000/D5000, MD2000/MD5000 Thread!
Don’t want to disturb Denon harmonys but they were definitely not my cup of tea. Tried D5000 markl and D2000 - mids were just too recessed. So far it seemed to me everybody liked these headphones..- aureus

W5000 Fitz Mod Guide
Just performed the mod on my W1000 - with expected results. The bass becomes fuller, definitely, just as voices. I never heard the W5000, I only got the F5005 - but I’m pretty sure the W5000 -> F5005 is similar to the step I made. I definitely like it, it’s recommended for W1000 owners. Voices...- aureus

Got the Audio Technica AD2000
I’ve been listening to the AD2000 for one week now and I still don’t like them. I read somewhere this one might be a love-or-hate headphone and I’d agree on that. I know what one could like about them but personally I don’t, unfortunately.- aureus

Synergy - far more important than the headphone itself

Audio Technica Earpad Mod
Glad you’ve posted it here. As you know I’ve made quite good experiences with the W1000 mod, with the added bass they sound a lot better which made me love them. Don’t have pictures at hand at the moment, but the pictures above will be helpful enough anyway I guess.- aureus
