Sorry, I read through the thread, just that the chart on the first page threw me off. OP should update that.   Anyway, appreciate the response. I guess I'll go with Tinydeals since they're cheaper and seems like faster shipping (ibuygou took over a month for v2's). Did you select "PostNL...

I ordered my v2's from ibuygou. Unfortunately, both pairs broke within 6 months (one after just 1-2 months, and the other just died a few days ago at the 6 month mark). Gonna take the risk and order the v3's since I really liked the sound of the v2's but it seems like they're going for $27+ CAD...

Finally finished reading this thread. I just want to clarify some things: Back around page 30, it was mentioned that there are two other "Custom" headphones, have they been announced yet? Also, it seems like there is no problem with COPs clipping, as those were just defective pairs?

Quote: Nice, I have a pair of HD558s and the reason I was looking to get a pair of Beyer DTs is because I found that they are not comfortable. At first I thought the 770s would be a good choice since they are the "lowest" of the 3 series and I thought it would be nice to have some bass for...

I have the choice between the DT770 and DT990 for the same price. Which would you guys get and why? I know that the DT770 is closed while the DT990 is opened, and although I usually prefer open, I am willing to try anything and not going to make that a deciding factor, as I don't plan to use...

Quote: Yea, here in Canada everything is more expensive ): amazon.ca says it's about $220. And not many retailers here sell quality headphones such as Beyerdynamic. Only recently we started to see headphone companies such as Sennheiser and Audiotechnica make appearances in stores...

Hey all, I've had my HD558's for about 8 months now. I think they sound okay, but the problem is the comfort. I know people praise the HD55x series for their comfort, but for some reason they are just not comfortable for me. I believe it is because of their clamping force. It was worse the first...

Quote: Yes, I agree. I'm pretty sure Sennheiser wouldn't just put a piece of foam simply to degrade the product. But I wonder why they made it removable, instead of using a material that was permanently stuck, or at least not so simple to remove? Also, I'm pretty sure Sennheiser were...

Whoaaaaa. What did you do to them?! LOL You removed the grill... what's that wire for?

Quote: No problem. I just wanted to let others know not to get their hopes up and expect something amazing from this mod, like I did. I'm not saying you shouldn't do the mod or that it's bad in any way. I recommend you try the mod if you ever have the time and are just bored (like I...

LOL, damn.. my wallet hates me for joining head fi... Quote: Yea, I think that makes sense. That explains why I experience the slightly bigger soundstage with the details slightly less noticeable.

Thanks for all the responses, and lol yea I just read a lot of "wow! SOOO much better" comments, so I guess my expectations were too high. Like I said, the bass is ever so slightly "punchier" or "tighter", I guess. But all these changes are so minor that I was underwhelmed. I did a quick...

I finally did the foam mod after about 7-8 months of owning my pair. I honestly have to say I'm not impressed. Maybe my expectations were way too high from reading all the comments of how the change was "night and day" and super drastic. There is a slight difference... I feel that it opens...
