Meh, i was thinking on getting the SP Velour pads, but i guess i'll stick with the EDT250V with Masking Tape on the back. Might consider picking them up on a next drop though, but the EDT250V do their job well. 

****, i've been using them all wrong then!   1) I don't think it's really overkill, but it might be a little too much for your intended use. You should try them out first with the STX and if you're not satisfied with the result, go for either the E12 or the Cayin C5, either way works. 2)...

Seems weird, since he was using the E10 before the change and the bass was "volumetric" as always. Did you checked the gain?   Mine started to distort again at high volume levels a few days ago, but the distortion dissapeared again (Wasapi + Foobar straight out of my laptop -which gives around...

  I used my DT990 Pro for a long time with all sorts of music, and it performed really well. I only switched to my SZ2000 when i needed concert levels of bass from the music. I never got a really good experience with the DT770, but i talked to other people that really liked them for EDM. The...

  Hmm, the X1 is not the best EQ'ing source, but it is clean. You might get a better result than with the Note 4 using the Cayin (haven't tested mine). You could always go with a Clip+ and Rockbox'ing it, or go with an E18 so you can bypass the DAC of the Note 4 and use it with the Cayin, but...

You can always try the DX50 or DX90 (I liked the DX50 + E12 combo, with the Cayin might be even better), but i'd recommend you install Viper4Android first, though if you don't want to root your phone, it could be a pain.

You can always wait, they're dropping on price relatively fast, might drop even more... I might even end up buying a second pair, just for comparing my modded version against the original :P!

It's not because of the headphones, it's because you end up hearing the transfer between your body and the seat... I'd say they're pretty even in isolation with the correct tips.   ----- I used the IM70's for months while i traveled back and forth for work in another town (around the same...

There is "some" wiggle room, but you need to take out the isolation mat (which seems like some sort of cotton to me), and that's pretty much it. Both drivers have a isolation chamber which gives you enough room to try and switch the padding mat. It's not hard, but i'd be very, VERY careful in...

Usually with a small pin, and very carefully. But try to pick instead of pushing, otherwise you might end up opening the housing to clean it from the inside.

You have to consider that the M50 did cost around 300 back in the day (i bought my pair almost two years ago, and i only spent $99), and it does have a couple of years on it. The M50x costs 240, which is around the same price tag as the SZ2000 is right now (since when it came out, it was around...

The SZ2000 against the M50 is a different animal. The M50 is a lot more V shaped than the SZ2000, but it doesn't have the same amount of bass. Comfort-wise, i prefer the M50 over the SZ2000, they're a lot lighter, and with a pad change they can be really comfortable (though, depends on the pads...

A Hirose connector, or maybe a 4 Pin Mini-XLR could solve the issue, though i think you'd need to split the drivers to each cup and make a Y cable for viability. 

They're wired to a relay board inside, so it would be hard to see if they were really how they're set-up (i guess you could measure the drivers individually...). Bi-amping seems a little harder, since from what i've heard and seen, the SZ doesn't use a filter to separate the frequencies, they...

Sounds ok, but it does get a little annoying (mostly the hi-hat of the drum, but it can be the yt quality, because i have the same issues with low quality mp3's most of the time). My 70's have no filters, and i'm using the VSonic isolation tips (silicon with foam in them). Might get a little...
