Thanks for the reply. A description of how they sound different would be appreciated.

Anyone compared the the Shure 1540 to fostex ebony’s from Massdrop? Thanks

Any one compared the ebony to Shure 1540?

Can any one give me advice on X00 Ebony vs th 900 modified It’s hard to judge but subjectively it sounds like I’d want the the bass of the 900 but not the recessed mids and hot treble But I’d like the more forward mids of the X00’s and tamed treble. Now can I modify a th 900 to sound more like...

Ive come back to some hd25s,one of the reasons i got rid of them last time was the brain chrushing clamp, :triportsad: So after looking through this thread here's a few pics of of my freshly modded hd25 with sp headband, most people who do this mod turn the cups upside down so the cables are...

I've got the jvc dx1000 now and I like them, as I've posted elsewhere compared to the d600 the mids are fuller and more forward and the treble is smooth and very un-fatiguing, the down sides are there ridiculously BIG and the cable is stiff and ridiculously long, also there's 1/4" jack on the...

The denons d600 i have are more sensitive but still my ipad drives them to levels that are uncomfortable for me.

As my discription in 600 thread, they have tighter cleaner bass all be it lower in respective volume but they are more mid forward and smoother in the top end with little fatigue. The dx are more neutral to my ears with a airy delicate feel which is distinctly " audiophile" , the 600 are smiley...

The 900 is obviously better then the 600 the mids are more recessed the bass is looser and and there brighter and harsher! I've ended up with jvc dx1000, the bass is as deep but lower in volume, never boomy and really tight, the mids are forward and smooth and the top end is clear but never harsh.

My problem is I want to stay away from amps, hence going for denon/fostex type cans as they can be driven straight from an ipad/iPhone, they also are closed and very comfortable, that's basically my criteria. Some has mentioned the jvc1000 is like if sennheiser and denon had a baby they would be...

After trying lots of headphones I realised i like a full midrange and a smooth top, I find the d600 mid recessed and slightly harsh up top compared to my speakers, which makes them sound slightly thin in comparison. I was hoping the th600 would change this, they were clearer sounding with maybe...

I've since heard both back to back and I don't think that is the case, the difference was small enough for me to keep the d600 and sell the fostex.

I think this might actually be better as its for desk top http://www.amazon.co.uk/Epiphany-Acoustics-EHP-O2D-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B00G35A2AO/ref=sr_1_2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1406492763&sr=1-2&keywords=O2+amp Let us know what you try! :cool:

Good post post! This is probably all you need, it's what I would try! http://www.amazon.co.uk/Epiphany-Acoustics-EHP-O2-Headphone-Amplifier-Black/dp/B00G2DK52W

Thanks Andre, I appreciate the input, ill try and hear the mad dogs.....don't know where? I brought and sold the fostex 600, taking the money in to concideration i didn't find them any better then the denons, in fact I think they where slightly harsher sounding and thinner. The denons sounded...
