    Sony MDR MA900 Impressions Thread

    I am probably in the minority, but I found the hd598s uncomfortable and find the k701s comfortable.  Probably due to my somewhat largish ears.  I did cut off the bumps on the k701s though.  I also agree that the bass mod is worth it.

    I agree with KT, I found the HD598 lacking and enjoy my K701s much more.  As for the headband of the Q701, if it is because the cups don't extend enough, there are some mods that can be done to improve the comfort, just send me a PM if you are interested.

    Sony MDR MA900 Impressions Thread

    I just picked up a pair from Mad Lust Envy from the forum and have been finding the headphones to be uncomfortable (which is unfortunate because I was hoping to find them super comfortable).  Despite their lightness, I can't seem to find a good setting for the length of the arms so that my ears...

    If your credit card company has virtual account numbers, then maybe it is okay to buy off Rakuten.  Still, caveat emptor.

    I would be interested.  Echo Audio was a wonderful host, so that would be great if they were interested in hosting again.

    K701 thread

    I got mine for 100 off of craigslist which I thought was a great deal, so good that I thought it might be stolen.  They seem to go for around 140-180 on the used forums here, so I would say you got them for a great price.

    K701 thread

    I find that after the following bass mod, that the k701s sound great to my ears and don't *need* EQ.  Really happy except for the comfort so far.     http://www.head-fi.org/t/660408/reversible-akg-k701-bass-mod

    Sony MDR MA900 Impressions Thread

    In terms of comfort for the MA900s, I was wondering if anybody with big ears has any issues with it?  I actually found the DT880s uncomfortable since the pads rested on my ears.  The A900x's were a little better and now I've got an HD598 which fits better (due to the oval cups).     At any...

    The Beyerdynamic DT880 Discussion thread

      I've found the ear cups to be a bit small for my ears.  The tops and bottoms of my ears touch the edges of the pads and that makes them a bit uncomfortable for me.  I'm still not sure if this is a deal breaker or not for me.

    Replacment ear pads for ATH A900x?

    Just wanted to add to this thread that I was able to get FA-003/HM5/Jaycar pads onto the A900x (posted this already in the A900x appreciation thread).  They are a big improvement in comfort, still trying to figure out the changes in sound.

    Audio-Technica ATH-A900X: Impressions, Reviews, Mods, etc.

    Ok, so since I had read that some people have put FA-003/HM5/Jaycar pads on HE-400's I decided to try to put my spare Jaycar pads on the A900x's. It took some effort as it is a super tight fit, but they can be put on.  They are definitely much more comfortable given the extra padding, but I'm...

    Audio-Technica ATH-A900X: Impressions, Reviews, Mods, etc.

    Since we are discussing pads, I'm also looking to replace my a900x pads.  I've heard people replacing DT880 pads with HE-500 velour pads and since people have said you can use DT880 pads on a900x's, does anybody know if the transitive property holds and HE velours can be used on a900x's?  HE...

    Replacment ear pads for ATH A900x?

    How did the DT770 pads work out for you, sound and comfort wise?  I find the stock pads to be too uncomfortable.     Arecibo

    Quote: For me, the HI 2050 pads have the same issue.  They are just big enough to get my ears into and with the headband's restricted adjustability, they have to be in the right position for me to wear for a long session.  I did try the Brainwavz HM5 pads on them, but they are cushier, so...

    "Mad Dog" by MrSpeakers, modified Fostex T50RP review

    Speaking of meets, at the Portland meet, I was able to try out Anoxy's Mad Dogs and compared it with tattare's HE-400.  I was super impressed by the Mad Dogs and found that I clearly preferred them over the HE-400.  In particular, they had wonderful vocals and guitar that the HE-400 couldn't...

    Quote:     I do not clearly prefer the Hi2050's over the Jaycars, it really depends on the type of music and the quality of the file I'm listening to.  Sometimes the openness of the Hi2050 works well with the music and then I prefer it.  Other times the Jaycars do better.  Still haven't...

    For anybody looking for good prices on the Takstars, the Technical Pro HPT 990 (identical to Takstar HI 2050) is now just $50 on amazon through adorama.  Also, the Gemini HSR-1000 seem to be back to 80 or less on amazon as well.  Either way, you are getting a decent price, much closer to the...

    Quote: Ok, will be bringing the Takstar HI 2050, which finally arrived yesterday.   Does anybody have any Beyerdynamic (DT 880?) or AKGs?  Would be nice, as the meet seems to have hifiman, sennheiser, and grados covered well.
