How about compare with AKG701 (for soundstage only), or 712 (soundstage and image)? Erupt's soundstage is somethings like DT990/M1060/HD598. But the overall sound quality is the lowest of them.

On my ears. Erupt soundstage is just above average. Maybe the driver angle and distance produce a relatively bigger image. But not soundstage. You are better write your comment after receive.

My pairs received about 2 months now. Never think about post any feedback here because simply this is my worst purchase of headphone ever. My initial comment is: not better then a KSC75. And of course no way take the risk to spend more on pads to "improve" them. (I tried all my pads collection...

Solution is not the only value of a post. Reveal a truth and against somone try to distort the truth also. I didn't miss your point. You have many points, me too. You didn't miss mine but pay attention and ignore some of them.

The room. This depends on where people pay attention to. Some people pay attention to the gifted pad and willing to fix. I pay attention to the magnets misplace is just 0.3mm, he don't think magnets misplace will affact sound, my video is playing trick to unscrew on propose... I have the room...

You PRETTY SURE I unscrewed on purpose? You really like to play this kind of game to hide your fault...... Other people may not have the ability to identify. But you are the creator. You know the screws level very well right? The video show all the screws. From their level you really sure they...

If the cup plastic not strong enough to against the magnetic repulsive force, the plastic exhaustion will occur. This happen on my pair, I can't say others.

0.3? You must be proud of your good observation. The video show there are at least 2mm movement on ONE side. If the same problem distance happen on the opposite side. There are 4mm total. I did not study science well but still know how the magnetic force drop rapidly at this CLOSE distance. Bad...

As request. At 1:05 I point out the gap between the magnets holder and the membrane holder. This gap may becomes larger by time, because the strong magnetic repulsive force will gradually push the plastic holders away to enlarge this gap. The result is the magnets will goes more far away the...

I understand what you means prefer software than hardware but I do not have the deep knowledge of DSP and sound science like you. I don't know how Fostex get this IN THE BAND immersive nature. Most of my cans put me IN FRONT of the band. V1 are the most IN FRONT and lack of space information...

Sorry for missing the PM. Remove one or all layers of back damping will help to tame the fatigue problem. I removed all (also the grill) with a thin angled pads and minor 1-2db range EQ, trade to get the musical and more atmosphere information(3d body?) but less resolution. The dynamic, timbre...

It seems like the ZMF-ori clone leather pads I've got last year. Around 30US and I don't like it sounds on most of my cans. Just my personal taste... https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.30d42e8dQMGk0q&id=555537546252&_u=h35376a9c19 And FireLion, how to attach the Fostex original...

Glad to hear you like it. As I said before, you may like this sound. How to compare with a well-modded RP?

The quick fix is press the magnets back to close to the membrane. You can do this on the pad side magnets but not the other side (you have to remove the grill, the damping, and a cardboard to reach the magnets). And this fix is only temporary. The opposite sides of magnets will repulse...
