My friend showed up at my door after purchasing these while on an EU excursion, and another feature you didn't seem to list is that once you take the pads off, the middle piece of foam can be simply removed (as it is already completely cut out). This increases the perceived volume greatly, as if...

Yeah, I'm pretty new to the whole audiophile thing and would really like to find out who is all in the area here (Gulfport, Biloxi, Gautier, Ocean Springs, St. Martin area). I have a couple of high school buddies that I've introduced to the high-fidelity modder-friendly world of audiophiles that...

I guess you could use Dragon or a similar program to hear my review, but I've posted the text so that's good enough, right? 

Well, I'm now in possession of the headphone, but I'll hold off on posting the official review until I've tweaked out the cans to my liking and I've put a couple hundred hours of comparison/ burn-in/ road testing on them... BUT! I will post my first impressions in narrative form. I got...
