There isn't anything really similar. This is why it is so sad Sony stopped making these. It is really difficult to love Sony. They keep letting their fans down by stopping some products even when they are successful. Most of the other headphones will require an amp. If the amp is not an issue...

If it is from the cup, it can be the glass being a bit loose and hitting the metal "rim". You can put a little bit of foam between them or tape. In my case, just tightening the screws fixed this. Later in my experimentation, I replaced the glass with a thing PC gaming mouse pad I cut in circles...

I have the same. It comes from the head band. It does not disturbe me but I can hear it from time to time. I have the AQ Nightowls that are much worse so I guess I am immune :slight_smile:

Just in case: Heureka.cz is a price comparison tool you can use to find the cheapest stores.

I did not realize I bought them so low as they were not even advertized to be on sale. Definitely the first time I buy something at its low... including stocks 😃

https://www.mironet.cz/1more-h1707-triple-driver-cernostribrna-hifi-sluchatka-35mm-jack-skladaci+dp410229/ That is less than 140 USD for example. Around 115 Eur.

If you bought them 200 USD you will not like this :wink: I looked for the invoice in my mailbox. I bought them the 12 December 2020 at munap.cz for 2197 Czk delivered. US Dollar converted into Czech Koruna Czech Koruna converted into US Dollar Date 1 USD = 21.758 CZK 0.045960 USD = 1 CZK...

I am in Czech Republic and under 2500 Czk, so about 100 USD is the normal price.

In which country are you? If EU, you might have delivery options...

I paid the equivalent of 100 USD.

I bought several brainwavz pads and tried them with these headphones (standart, suede, XL...). I did not have too much clamping issues but I had pressure building in the right ear cup. Also, the sound was not to my taste.

The "company" is just one guy and his wife if I understood correctly. He must be pretty busy. I have two pair of headphones in the pipes... Good things take time.

I did and it does not sound good. I then replaced the glass with 2 layers of a thin computer mouse pad I had laying around and I really like that.

I did not want to push my opinion as we all have different ears and the fact that I found what I like does not mean that it will apply to someone else. I have several headphones and these are definitely the "bassiest" ones but this is what defines them for me therefore I would not change it. If...

There is a way to make the 100mm or even the 105mm fit with some "plumber" foam tape. But without that, 90mm is the biggest you should go with.
