Hi, I'm interested in replacing the headband on my hifiman he 500 cans, but I don't really want to get the original version of the headband as the original ones keep rusting and they're pretty dang uncomfortable without modding. I was hoping someone has a copy of the mrspeakers ether flow and...

Hi all, I've finally gotten into the mood to replace the original, and rusting HE 500 and HE 400 headbands on my headphones. Now, not wanting to replacement with the same terrible headbands that came with the originals, could anyone recommend any alternative headbands that could work? I'm ready...

Quote:   I spent a little bit more than 2 weeks with the EH before the 7308 came in. Plenty of listening everyday which I would consider decent burn in. In the end, the Amperex tube (using the AD700) was considerably better than the 6922EH, which seems in line with what people have been...

Quote:   Honestly, I'm not sure how much difference it's going to make. I started off with the Electro Harmonix 6922 coupled with Audio Techinca's AD700 and it sounded harsh (or harsher than I wanted), so I upgraded to an Amperex JAN 7308 and the difference was great. Sound stage got...

I might suggest the AD700x or the AD900x (supposedly a overall better version of the AD700x, but not sure if more comfortable) and MDR-MA900, if you're willing to spend a little more money.   Reviews for AD700 can be found here http://www.head-fi.org/products/audio-technica-ath-ad700 and I...
