Unfortunately, I can't weld, haha. I might try stretching out the HM5 velour pads.

I briefly tried the DT880 600 ohms and I absolutely loved their sound. Extremely quick, limitless but not overtly sharp treble, punchy bass without bleeding into vocals, etc. However, my head is huge and on the maximum settings, they just didn't fit my head. On one side, the earcup would just...

Alright, thank you very much! Saving 50 bucks, haha.

Excuse me, could someone please explain the difference between the current models right now on Sennheiser's website? They list the HD25, HD25 Plus and the HD 25 I II Basic Edition. I realize the HD25 Plus is just the HD25 with more accessories but what are the physical and sonic differences...

http://north-america.beyerdynamic.com/shop/hah/spare-parts/edt-1350-sl.html   Alternatively, you could purchase the beyer T51p pads instead, which are said to be comfier and have more bass than the regulars according to this "mod" (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TO_9qwA1sb0). Basically, the...

Hmm, I contacted beyerdynamic customer support, and they said the opposite. They said the CC's had a coiled cable and larger earpads and a better headband than the regular DT 1350's. In that case, I'll just get the CC's.

  Ah, thank you very much. I assumed that based on online searches the facelift/CC version were the same thing. That explains a lot.

Nevermind. Now currently debating whether or not the extra $100 for the CC version is worth it.

For all you more recent owners, I have a question. I was searching through this thread and online to make sure the only difference between the DT 1350's and the DT 1350 CC's was the headband, earpads and cable (essentially, no difference in sound). However, I came across search results and such...

Thanks for answering my questions. I think I'm going to definitely get the DT1350 CC's if it sounds the same as the regular 1350's. I really appreciate your advice since I was initially unsure about some possible issues with the 1350's. Thanks again! :)

Really? I heard the DT1350's were kinda uncomfortable. In any case, do you consider these the best neutral studio headphones for $200-400 in terms of sound? Or do you prefer another over ear or on ear option?

That's great to hear! In the studio, is it preferable to use over ear or on ear headphones while recording? I know over ear headphones generally sound better but I know the Sony 7506's (I consider them on ear since many people say they don't completely cover their ears) are used frequently.

Bump.

How are these for studio use, particularly tracking and recording? I'm a bedroom artist looking for a pair of neutral tracking headphones in the $200-300 range and I recently bought a pair of HD 600's and a Schiit Magni 2 Uber to drive them for mixing and mastering. I'd prefer the headphones to...

Haha, sorry, but I said I looked through that thread in the OP. Thanks though!
