Well at least I got my 2,5 to 3,5mm adapter.
Sure, in 1-2 days.Hi BenF,
Thank you for comparison. I know it is already decided, but is it possible to do quick head to head, in terms of bass quantity & quality, between JVC HA-S680, HA-RX900 and Takstar Pro82?

Keep in mind, my HA-RX900 is modded - felt removed + PT.
Hi BenF,

HA-S680 vs Pro 82:
Quantity : S680 has a more accentuated bass (relative to the mids).
Quality: No competition, Pro 82 has a more full bodied bass with deeper impact and better control. S680 is embarrassing itself here - it's out of its league.
HA-RX900(modded) vs Pro 82:
Quantity: RX900 is slightly below Pro 82, maybe a DB or two.
Quality: Much closer competition than S680. Pro 82 still wins across all the mentioned points, but with much narrower (yet still significant) margin.

So are the poll results being ignored now? Don't get me wrong I appreciate the comparisons you've done so far but more people have asked for comparisons between HD9999 and Pro 82 than either of those headphones. Doesn't have to be a page long, could you at least give us an idea of the similarities and differences?
Received mine today, and I plugged it into my FiiO E10K to try out.
After trying out stockpads, I changed them to the brainwaz hm5 angled pads. This is an absolute must in my opinion for both comfort and improvement in SQ (to me at least). Slight increase in sound stage and it really helps the bass extend low past 40 hz.
Bass reaches far but lack quantity, which I sort of suspected as BenF noted they are fairly balanced. I run them with the bassboost on (via FiiO E10K) and also boost 5 db at 40 hz Q0.8 and preamp down -5db. Bass is tight and improves the reverb/slam quality without over bloating.
Mids are very slightly recessed but very present. Reminds me of DT770 PRO 80ohm
Treble - Initial listen the treble is a bit hot for my taste and sounds sibiliant with certain songs. Gonna need some more seat time before I draw any conclusions.
In total, after a few hours of listen, I'd put them in the category that would compete against the ATH-50X and the DT 770 pro 80ohm. With all the ports open, the signature changes too much where it veils around the 3 khz to around 6 khz. I find that leaving one port open and EQ'ing the rest keeps it neat and tidy sonically without sacrificing clarity. Will follow up later with at least a week of usage.
Hello there,
So I just received my Pro 82's today, and as for sound, I love them, however the pads are just WAY to shallow. I also have a pair of Brainwavz pads but when I first tried to rotate the stock pads just to see if they are removable, they almost feel as if they are glued into place. I tried to slightly pull on one corner just to see if they come off, but I'm afraid to pull on them because I don't really feel a "grove/channel" where pads normally rest in. Can you give me some pointers on how to replace these pads? I just would hate to yank off the stock pads if I'm going to ruin this set. If you have any pictures, that would also be helpful. Please let me know, and thanks for your time.
