My head is ****ing enormous and it was tight for a while before I realized you need to really pull on it firmly to get the last peg out - now it even fits my giant ass head. The inflexible headband is not the best, if I decide I want to keep these I may do something about that. The pads are also...

Can anyone help me with this? or direct me to another board if this isn't the place for this?

So my Soundmagic HP100 have fractured at the joint here. It's not a clean break yet, but it seems rather threatening. Any ideas on how I can repair this? I'm alright with either DIY options as well as paying for the services of others.    

Is the ZO2 warm, or is it just a bass boost? I saw that you were recommending it, but I had been under the impression its only sonic change was the bass boost, renowned for not affecting other frequencies. Are there any other warm amps at that price range you would recommend?

Hi ClieOS,   I was wondering if you could give your impression of how these headphones sounded with the A10 amplifier that you mentioned. Given its very warm nature, I was wondering if it would add more vitality to the HP100s.

Quote:   Mids feel kind of thin compared to the K550 I was using before. Vocals aren't as prominent in the music; they lose their place as the center of the show. Maybe a warmer amp like a fiio or a cmony would pair better, since the warm sound would fill in the thinness while also...

Also, I got these headphones recently and I had a few opinions of these:   Unamped: Mids feel kind of empty, also overshadowed by treble Bass is OK; not bad, but not stellar   Amped with C&C BH: Helps bring forth mids, reduce treble Bass gains impact, can feel the extension...

For those looking to get a straight cable: contact the sales address sales2@soundmagic.com.cn, inquiring about a HP200 cable. You can get a quote for cable price and shipping to your area if you send them your address in your initial inquiry.   Note that you may not receive a response if you...

What genres would you say these headphones do not perform very well with? I'm not looking for a 'oh it handles everything well,' but rather a more critical assessment rather than most of the gushing praise found in appreciation threads.

I'm noticing no EMI at all when I use it attached to my cellular device, when streaming videos using wifi and LTE. Perhaps calls will trigger it? Kind of doubtful though.

Would you say it's a cold or thin amp?

Thanks a lot!

Could you explain or direct me to where its explained why the ultrasone pro 900s have crazy synergy with the BH?

What price range are you looking at? Your prices vary between $400 and $200.  

After lots of careful consideration, I thought I had settled on the mad dogs for their sweet vocals, overall balance, and durable build. However, right before I was placing my order, I discovered the Soundmagic HP100s, which retailed for $100 less. After doing some more research, I found lots of...

Personally I wouldn't go for it, seeing as the d2ks used to retail for under 300. The d2k also has rather poor build quality compared to many others in this price range.

Not very portable with huge cups and a 10 ft cable. Would not recommend. Momentums are a good bet for small portable, but only if you have smaller ears (<65mm).

Woe, I'm not in 'straya. I'll find a way though haha

Quote:   Can you direct me to where I may find dual lock for a dollar?

Quote: Yeah, volume is psychoacoustically doubled with an increase of 10dB.

Quote:   Actually*, a 3 dB boost would almost be a doubling of the power (99.5%); a 10 dB boost increases the power 10x. So you're very right in the regard that these changes are detectable by any attentive ear. Even a 1 dB boost increases the power by 25.9%, definitely an audible...

Are you planning on updating this with the C&C BH? Or did you nix that idea

Has anyone found a solution to earcup discomfort?

OK, broken into the basics: closed, durable, comfortable full sized geadphones. Very engaging vocal reproduction, impactful bass. 300 USD or under. K550 lacks bass impact, and has problems with a lack of clamp. Momentums were too small (cups) and sounded too congested. 50% alt rock like...
