I was very nervous changing the pads because, like you, I did not want to ruin their sound just for comfort. I've been using them for a solid 5 hours with them today and noticed a slight sibilance/increases brightness (oddly enough?) when i first had the pads on when they were vertical. I then...

.   FINALLY, I got the HM5 pads. Wow what a difference. My ears barely touch the driver and I am  able to enjoy these cans so much more. Easier to get a nice seal and I noticed a big difference in isolation. I did not notice a difference in sound. Do they look as sleek/portable as the stock...

My case came today!     Tight fit but it works (: I barely move my headphones from my desk, but when I do, I feel better throwing these in my backpack.     http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YONZEG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

I will post pictures when it arrives (should be Tuesday)!

Hey everyone,    Looking for a case for my K545's! What does everyone think of these? I do not need anything fancy, just something to carry them around in my backback. Will it fit?   http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009YONZEG/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1   or would this one...

How do they feel and sound with the HM5 pads? 

@midnigh: I'm hitting the 2-3 hour mark before my ears hurt because they rub on the drivers (I have big ears). Diameter of the inner cup is great, it's the depth if the cup I have trouble with. I bought the Brainwavz HM50's pads to alleviate this issue. These are my form room cans so I don't...

I agree with grizzly, I never thought the bluetooth variant performed as well as standard sets (I have tried Harmon's BT, Jabra's Revo, my friends wireless beats, not the 845's though). It always felt something was missing in the details. The K545 is just pure audio, no real bells and whistles...

Bought the HM5 pads, should be here 10-30 days (damn). I'll report back to see if sound changes from them.

Anyone know if the HM5 are deeper than the stock pads? After hour 3, my ears start to get irritated by the stock pads. Did anyone notice the sound quality decrease using the HM5 pads?

Dweaver, the song sounds wonderful!   Anything by Keaton Henson with these became such a moving heart felt experience. Featherstone by The Paper Kites is another treat as well.

My set came today! What an experience. Here are my initial impressions:   I got the all black set (if anyone wants specific shots, let me know). What a beautiful set of headphones. Classy and refined while retaining bold quality to it. It's funny, I always associated good looking headphones...

Plain black, if anyone wants specific shots, I'll take em once they come in!

Just ordered the K545's from Razordog, can't wait to give my impressions!

Thanks il check it out!

Final comparison and I'm done abusing this thread my non stop questions ;) K545 against the NAD Viso HP50? I'm down to these two options!

Anyone have an opinion how the UE6000 sound compared to the K545's?

I have decent Shure IEM's. I just want to make sure about the K550's because I see some reviews they have a rich, deep bass when amped and EQ and some that say it's too bright and thin to even bother listening to!

I need isolation at home because dorm rooms are so loud! Looks like I will be leaning towards the K550. Do they respond well to EQ if they come off too bright/bump the low end without ruining their clarity?

Two conflicting views :o I'm so torn between the two!

I am really having trouble deciding between the K550's and K545's.   I just bought the Fiio E10 to go with my macbook pro using a system wide EQ program called boom (btw I love that program, performs wonderfully).    I am currently using my HD439's bc they are my best closed backs I own at...

I am slowly learning Summit-Fi setups so be patient with this thread. The WA22 Amp looks amazing but I have a question about it and tube amps in general. Does it have a DAC and Pre-Amp within it? I just want to make sure how to properly handle Tube Amp setups.  ...

Not really sure where to put this! So my Fiio Amp died the past month and was not in the mood to buy another one. I found an app on my Mac called Boom. It's a program that helps drive headphones and even has a system wide equalizer which I love (for some reason I cannot find the default Mac EQ...
