Great write up! Your word choice really got the message across.     

Quote: Thanks for the review, it will help greatly with my decision.   I was considering reshelling the TF10s also, but the fact that for a couple hundred $ I can get the Qs is tempting. I was also under the impression that the Qs will be superior to the TF10s. Guess I'll have to...

Quote:   After burn in, the harshness goes away. I hated my PRO900s the first 10+ hours.    

Quote: I'll probably feel the same way trying my PRO900s with CSS today lol.

Quote:   Do you have any comparisons of the PRO900 to the Qs? I'm looking for customs IEMs that sound close to the 900s for use on the go.  

Quote: It's probably a bit too high. Just using the e7 might be better.

Quote: I'm hoping for sooner also! Any ideas when the odac will be out also? 

  Quote: In addition to what's already mentioned by others, I find the pro900s to be more punchy, yet not muddy at all. The bass on the 580s almost seem lacking after using my 900s for a while. I also find the pro900s to be much more comfortable. The harder earpads on the 580s gave me...

Quote: I'll also second that.   As for comfort, I have no issues wearing it for a few hours at a time. It's usually the fatigue that gets me before comfort. This is after stretching out the headband slightly to reduce the clamping force.

Quote: I might have to give those a try. I really need replacement earpads that are more comfortable + isolate better than stock.   

  Quote:   I don't really like the way the headphones sit on the other stands with branches. Clean and simple is best imo.   Have you considered banana stands?   

Thought I'd share my current setup    

I would take the "wooden with just the stick" and mod it so that it's a little bit shorter, and rip off the small stick.

Quote:   My pro 900s are arriving very soon. I think I'll burn them in with your file, thanks!    

Quote: Sounds like you need a pair of Ultrasone HFI 780s. I currently own the 580s and the build quality is amazing!  

Quote: Should I terminate with a xlr plug, or will a 1/8 plug suffice? 

I'm currently looking for an upgrade from my HFI 580. Currently interested with the PRO 900 and HFI 780, but I'm willing to consider other cans if you guys have suggestions. I will be using them through an e7/e9 to listen to dubstep mainly. Considering recabling the new cans, budget of around...
