Sony MDR-Z7M2 Headphone Thread
I guess I didn't have a particular ZMF earpad in mind -- mostly curious if there were any that have been proven to fit the Z7M2. I haven't attempted to remove the pads, and I'm aware of the screw and the mounting ring that are present. I've searched for videos demonstrating the process and...- Mardrommar

Meze Audio LIRIC - The portable isodynamic hybrid array headphone
I have known about Meze since they first started sending ASMR YouTubers free headphones (I forget which model). I've paid attention to them over the years and was always curious but never got a chance to listen to any of the models. Finally had the itch to get the Empyrean OG after the...- Mardrommar

Meze Audio LIRIC - The portable isodynamic hybrid array headphone
That is a good possibility. I recently purchased the Empyrean before the Empyrean 2 was announced. I also purchased the Liric through the Meze website in February as a self-birthday gift (could not pass up the free premium cable package). So if they do end up announcing a Liric 2, just let me...- Mardrommar

Meze Audio LIRIC - The portable isodynamic hybrid array headphone
Random question, but is the Liric being discontinued? The Meze website underwent a major update today and the Liric is no longer listed. Maybe this means a Liric 2 is being announced?- Mardrommar

Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution
I guess my ears are not as focused as some others (reviewers) because I thought the bass on the Empyrean was really solid. I do understand that the bass does bleed into the midrange -- at least with the stock pads. I have not yet pad-rolled, but I would like to purchase the angled alcantara pads...- Mardrommar

Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution
I'm curious, but what is the consensus about the Meze Empyrean (OG) for metal? I'm more so asking about people's thoughts rather than confirmation that it will be suitable for metal as I bought one during the sale prior to the Empyrean II release. Also as a random aside, I have to say that I've...- Mardrommar

Sony MDR-Z7M2 Headphone Thread
I am curious, but what replacement pads/aftermarket pads have members successfully used with the Z7M2? I have searched for aftermarket pads and there are a few on Amazon and some on eBay but I'm not fully convinced they are good quality. I'm hoping that Dekoni eventually makes a set for the...- Mardrommar

Headphones for metal music - ultimate solution
I've been using the Sony MDR-Z1R for nearly a year at this point and do agree that they have a harsh treble at times. I must have adjusted to the tuning, because I don't find that the treble bothers me as much -- I've also noticed an improvement since I switched from the stock cable (4.4...- Mardrommar

Norne Audio (Was: Norse Audio): Feedback & Impression Thread
Trevor, I sent you an email a few days ago - probably 3-4 now - asking for some updates on Draug2.C color availability and potential recommendations for the NoblexMassdrop collaboration. I don't want to spam you, but let me know if you find it! Otherwise, I'll try to remember what I wrote and...- Mardrommar

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
If I'm correct in my understanding, the older versions of wooden Audeze headphones (pre-2015) had a different finishing and sealing process than the newer versions. The newer Audeze headphones do not ship with the wood care oil, which all the older ones had. I used it to nourish the wood, but...- Mardrommar

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
I have the TH-X00 Ebony version unmodified. I became concerned about wood care after my first pair developed a crack on the right cup. (Which sucks because I really liked the grain on those cups.) Lawton Audio told me that they couldn't help because they were unsure how Fostex exactly...- Mardrommar

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
I know everyone is talking about pads... but does anyone have information about how to maintain the wooden cups? I reached out to the Lawton Audio customer service to see if they could help, but they gave me a non-answer. I can't locate a Fostex customer service/general inquiry email address...- Mardrommar

Fostex x Massdrop TH-X00 Review
Hi All, I received a set of the Fostex TH-X00 Ebony headphones recently. (Well, my first pair was from the February drop and one of the ear cups cracked... so I was able to get a replacement unit a few days ago.) I was curious if anyone has any information on wood care/maintenance for these...- Mardrommar
