Were these the 100mm pads that you got, or a different size? Thinking about trying out a set of these.

Can confirm: definitely better than the Denon D7200's

Maybe try and reach out to Denon directly? They might sell the driver. This reminds me ... I need to contact Audio Technica for a replacement driver for my AD2000.

I wholeheartedly agree. I bought my AD2000's because of this review back in 2011, and they remain one of my absolute favorite headphones to this day. Sadly, I think I blew one of the drivers, so I'll probably try to order a new new one from Audio Technica soon, but I don't see myself ever...

So I’ve recently parted ways with my XC and have been interested in replacing it with another closed back with a somewhat similar sound profile - mainly in that I want the detail and clarity that the XC provides. I’ve been curious about buying the Ether CX, especially now that it’s on sale for...

Thanks for that response! I’m starting to think I should have held on to my XC. I’m still considering the CX, and at $699, it’s not a bad deal. Do you find the CX to be too analytical? The detail on the XC was nice, and I'm hoping for something on that level at the least. Have you used any...

Has anyone in this thread used the CX for mixing/mastering purposes? If so, how do you like them for that purpose? Would love to hear your thoughts. Additionally, do any of you own both the CX and LCD-XC? If so, how do they compare? I've recently sold my XC, and thinking the CX might be a...

The 7200’s are far from the worst headphones I’ve heard. They sit somewhere in the upper middle range of my collection. If you’re considering the WP900, I would also recommend the W1000. Not sure if they’re still made or not, but those cans are what got me into the hifi headphone world. My old...

Not to add a few more options to your list, but as an electronic music fan myself, I prefer my ATH-AD2000 and LCD-3 to my Denon 7200. The Denon does have harder hitting bass, but clarity, detail and depth belong to the Audio Technica and Audeze. When I was first getting into hi-fi headphones...

If anyone was curious, I just tried this out. Took me a minute to get everything in (and holidays), but it was fun to do and worth the time/expense. I find that I like the sound signature a bit more tuned to my taste now, mainly in that the bass isn't as "messy" for me. Not that it was Meze 99...

I've been curious about this myself. Did you (or anyone else) find any options?

I’m selling my unused iFi Hip-DAC 2, which is still in the box and in excellent condition. I purchased it for an extended trip which ended up being canceled, so it's in mint condition. I've only taken it out of the box to test it, so it's got less than 1 hour of use. I’m also throwing in an...

Yes, I definitely know what I'm looking for in my XC replacement. Thank you for this bit of info; this is quite helpful in helping me make a decision, actually. Time for me to clean up my XC for the classifieds.

I have the Denon D7200 (which has a biodynamic driver, yes? sorry, I'm a bit unfamiliar), but I can't say I love it them. I'm currently waiting on some wires to come in so I can do some simple mods to them. For reference though, as far as the stock model is concerned, I wouldn't put them in the...

Has anyone tried these JM Audio headphones out? They seem quite promising, but I haven't seen any reviews about them anywhere. I'm thinking about getting rid of my LCD-XC Maples and maybe making a move to these (yes, I know they look similar), but I'd like to make an informed decision. It would...
