Yeah, that could be why the Bathys seemed to have this quite pleasing and dynamic bottom end without sounding as thick as the Px8.

Haha, yeah, well... That's a lot of everything. :L3000: Since the tone controls are applied pretty broadly, the whole frequency range is pulled up to some degree, making the curve perhaps slightly less dramatically V shaped than one might expect. Still, it's not very pleasant. BTW, I did some...

I've seen lots of discussion regarding the Px8 bass in this thread. I got my Px8 a couple of weeks ago and have been using them quite a lot. I would probably qualify myself as an audiophile, having had a genuine interest for the last 25 years or so. My preference is generally towards a pretty...

I removed one of the new pads and compared it to the old one. I also measured the new one as seen in one of the pictures. Thickness varied between 25-27 mm, but its probably around 26 mm average. So, there's at least a difference of 3 mm between your new pads and mine. I also took a few...

Isn't the HD 650 headband pad (if that's indeed what you're referring to) compatible? At least that's my understanding and I'm personally planning on ordering one for my HD 580 tonight.

Okay, everybody, I bought the pads. I couldn't really tell whether they were shorter/thinner than the original ones until I was back home and could install them. Believe it or not, but these don't seem to be shorter than the original ones. I have compared them to my new HD 650 (have hardly used...

I actually found a local store that has a pair, so I'm going down there in an hour. I'll report back soon.

This is quite interesting. I was just going to order new pads for my HD 580, but now I'm not so sure. Coincidentally, I compared my 10 year old, flattened out HD 580 pads to a pair of brand new HD 650 and HD 600 yesterday. Both of these new headphones had significantly thicker pads, so they both...

[Please note that although I've only tested this on an Audigy 4, it should work on ALL Audigy cards.] Hi guys! I've had some trouble with my Audigy 4 sounding crap in Vista (32-bit and 64-bit versions). It's very noticeable when listening to MP3s, since they tend to sound like bad 128kbps...
