    Samson sr950?

    Build quality should be the same. They are made by the same company and likely have the same drivers. I would think the 950 would have better sub bass. The 950 should be more comfortable.

    Samson sr950?

    They look like a Superlux hd662 which is a very good budget studio can. I have one and really like it. The fabric ear pads should make them that much better.

    Beyerdynamic DT 770 pro 80 ohm vs Beyerdynamic Custom One Pro

    I believe the reason for no response is that it is not a good comparison to put it mildly. My hd662 Superlux destroy the panasonic in every way but it is not in the same league as the Beyer. You get what you pay for with the Panasonic. Fragile and really don't sound that good after the initial...

    Cans vs Speakers pound for pound.

    At least you can change a room and move speakers around to find the sweet spot. Not so much the shape, size and neural response of the ear which is the "room" for headphones.

    Cans vs Speakers pound for pound.

    Quote: Yes. Single driver speakers in a really crappy room causing  many phase cancellations and resonances.

    superlux hd 662

    If you search a bit you will find lots of information. That being said I have never found a post where someone owned and compared all three variants. I know the B model has more midbass and the F model has less bass than the other two and is brighter at the top. I have the CAD mh310 which is a...

    Do you use an Equalizer?

    Yes.   It seems that all headphones have inherent peaky treble response, some of which is by design. Check the graphs. There is almost always a big dip between 3k and 5k accompanied by a few more dips and peaks and then a sharp rise in the 9k 10k region. I do my best to obtain a flat...

    Panasonic htf 600s vs Creative Aurvana Live

    If you are willing to spend 60 forget the pans unless you want to replace them in a few months. They break and really don't sound that good.

    Cable that brings out the best in the SUPERLUX HD668B budget earphones ?

    Quote:   Well said. The next best thing after pads is eq to tame the highs.

    Has anyone tried Koss ur20 ear cushions on a Superlux hd662?

    I noticed that Koss sells replacement ear pads for cheap on their website and the UR20 seems similar in size.

    Would this rackmount parametric equalizer work for removing HRTF from headphones?

    The Behringers stuff is a great value but they usually compromise the signal path at some point with lower quality dacs or op-amps. It is not audiophile equipment. You might want to consider one of the EMU products which incorporate high quality components and include dsp effects. You can stack...

    Mod: increasing the depth of the earpads, does it change the sound?

    I think the increased driver distance from the ear changes the sound more than the material used but both must have some effect. My observation is that the upper mid's and highs diminish with distance from the ear.

    Are you a Basshead? Or a Treblehead? Or a Midrange head? A Flathead? Or....?

    I chose seeking something else. I would have chosen flat but I use EQ to get as flat as I can since we all know there is no perfectly flat headphone.
