Quote: I'd look into some Ultrasones as they are great for your genres. The Pro 750 is in your range and the Pro 900 is close, but just over your budget. Do some research on those as they may be a nice upgrade from the M50

Quote:   If you can find the Denon D2000 these would be my recommendation as they are very comfortable and have a slight "V" shape which is nice for EDM, but it is still balanced enough to work as an all around type of headphone. It is also quite easy to drive from an iPod or computer

I made some adjustments to my pair. Basically I added my silverstone foam to cover up as much of the inside of the cups as I could and added some more cotton. Tried messing with some stiff craft felt, but it killed the bass so I removed it in the end. I'm quite pleased with the end result. The...

I've done what most of the members in here mentioned with the acoustic foam, dynamat/fatmat, and cotton. I need to make some tweaks, but here are some pics of what I've done thus far:        

Quote:   Well done! The Denon pads are great. I'm curious to hear your impressions of them once you get them.

Quote: The codes are one-time use and unique to each email, so hopefully you used the code already/didn't need it

Quote: Ya, but under Amazon's listing guidelines, that is a prohibited item since "Item requires repair or service," so it would be really easy to open a case and get a full refund, especially since Amazon sides with the buyer most of the time. It would probably be a waste of time though.

Quote: Nice! Painting is on my list of things to do to mine. What did you use to do it?

My Monos came yesterday so I just completed a couple quick mods to see what the results would be. I put a layer of FatMat on the rear of the cups, then cover it with silverstone acoustic foam. After that I added a tiny bit of cotton on top. I also put a tiny piece of FatMat on the back of the...

these are on sale right now so I decided to pick up another pair finally. I had a lot of fun modding my T50rp so I'm looking forward to trying my hand at these

Quote: I qas trying to hold out until black friday, but I ended up picking up an ssd a couple weeks ago when the Samsung 830 hit $150. Definitely worth the price, and now I have my old hard drive as an external backup drive so win-win.

Quote: I've had both combos and the O2/ODAC is in a different league than the E7/E9. The sound is much cleaner and the signal is more transparent. If you can afford the upgrade, it is well worth the upgrade. Sorry I can't be more detailed as it's been awhile since I've used the E7/E9, but...

Quote: I have just a little bit of cotton in mine right now and I prefer it to no cotton. It has a little less bass, but It seems like there is a tad bit more treble there, so I was looking for a slightly more balanced sound and this helped.

A few Beyerdynamic T70 through Amazon warehouse starting at $286 for Good, $296 for very good http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B005EEOTFY/ref=dp_olp_used?ie=UTF8&condition=used

Beyerdynamic DT770M New $109 @ Shoreline http://www.shorelinemusic.com/closeouts/closeout-beyerdynamic-dt770-m/

Quote: I wasn't that excited by them either. The giant hole in the treble made vocals sound strange to me. Not bad for the price, but nothing special either. I'd buy them again for $15, though I'd probably give it away as a gift.

Quote: I'd look into the Creative Aurvana Live! and if you can find one within your price range, maybe the DT770 Pro 80

Great to hear! The stock cable on the t50rp is so bad.

Quote:   Thanks. Worth the try to see if it will fit my T50rp as it is much cheaper than shelling out $18 for the Vmoda cable. I guess I'll find out if it works in 2-3 weeks.
