Have to agree about the microphone in these, as soon as there's any wind i find them useless. Unfortunate.

Could you do 200? Fast purchase

Could you let this go for 330? Ready for fast purchase.

Has anyone tried Beautiful audio's cable adapter LINK Thinking about trying it out one of my pairs as the construction is pretty clever (no melting glues with hairdryers and such).

Oh, maybe i read this wrong. Was under the impression that there's maple in the composite.

The hemps are made out of a composite of Hemp and maple wood, the largest part casing the drivers are also pure maple and not the composite. You're right about there being a difference but they are in fact still wood cups.

Although i got these for $160, I would be happy with these if i paid $300. The only complaint being the cable. Great all-arounders in my opinion.

How far away from the driver does these pads put you compared to stocks?

Thanks for the information, will probably stick with the stock ones until something interesting pops up.

Well, the hemps sure are fun! Seen some different opinions about pad choices, bought some Geekria large (model number EJZ-0047-04). But these requires me to bend the headband in quite a bit, anyone here tried this combo? As im satisfied with the stock ones, they will have to do for the time...

These have got plenty of bass, perhaps everyone whos trying to comparing it to the x2's feel that they're lacking. Comparing price and sound to the x2 feels pointless as they are a completely different product that Philips is trying to take in a different direction. Wonder if they would have...

Still my favorite cans at this pricepoint by far. / /Dan

Good deal. Only thing i dont like about these cans, is that they need good quality audio to really perform. Good luck!

Seiko all the way, hard to beat considering your budget. The SKX's can easily be cuztomised to your taste with all the after market parts available.
