Just curious, have you tried the HP50 yourself or ? I really liked the Momentum's sq and despite what many have stated as having comfort issues due to the size of the earcups I found that they were largely acceptable in comfort, not the best, but acceptable, and I arguably have huge ears: 3...

Compared to the link you provided I am guessing these links are probably going to be more expensive than you're looking for; saying merely 'cheap' still trends towards subjective? Hope these help. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=blue+icicle &...

Awesome work, really appreciate the thread.  A lot of people talk about the comfort issues with these, I have huge ears, roughly 3 1/8 inch tall, I wear them circum aural and I found their comfort acceptable, if still not as comfortable as my 7506s comfortable none the less.  The biggest factor...

Soo. I picked up a pair from Best Buy a few days ago in order so that I could easily return them if they didn't fit.  I have been letting them play on an 800+ .flac playlist non stop since I first plugged them in on Thursday morning, but until now I had only been able to momentarily jump in to...

Quote: She uses them for hours on end, on a daily basis, with zero issues here to now.  I find the build quality appreciable and nothing about it is exactly concerning to me.  The headband is plasic, so I'm not sure they'll be around 14 years later like my 7506s, but who knows. I have...

I'm in seminole county , I don't have a whole lot of gear; some circa 1999 japanese issue sony MDR 7506s , a pair of sony MDR 7510s & a standard gain O2 amp built by jds labs , I'm pretty interested to get a pair of mad dogs in the future tho   Quote:   beyondthepale35 ; I'm curious...

Thanks for the reply, the pads as described in the ad are made from a so called " 3rd generation ULTRCUSHION material " , im curious if that is in fact a synthetic leather ?   Quote:

Im looking at the 380 as a possible purchase, it seems it can be had for around $170 from amazon at the moment, anyone else care to chime in with their experiences as well as what their driving it with ?  I would also be interested to hear about the leather pads m17xr2b mentioned

I could be interested in this as well depending on when & where.  Im in Orlando, I have a jds labs built O2 , japanese issue MDR-7506s from 1999 , and a pair of Sony MDR-7510s

I got the pads in yest and they're really really nice, very comfortable, isolate well and they brought back the bass performance that was lacking , i feel like i got a new pair of headphones.  its been a looong time since these had fully functional pads so it would be difficult for me to try to...

I bought a pair of 7510s off B&H a couple of months ago, I had intended to use them for work (le radio dispatch), but they didn't work out so well because they were too isolating in an environment where supreme voice clarity must be combined with still being able to listen to constant ambient...

With more time to evaluate the HP4 I am not enamored with it for my current configuration.  While it is relatively quiet and will drive my sonys painfully loud, the output impedance of 51 ohm doesn't leave much damping with my nominally 63 ohm cans.  Some tracks are fairly musical and...

Just ordered silver, Tuesday cant come soon enough ;)

I really appreciate the guide!  After reading it I immediately placed an order with B&H for a set of pads to replace my originals from 1999. Their facing separated from the inner diameter long ago and in fact all of the pleather eventually worked its way off such that they are now a completely...

Anyone try the A2 with mad dogs or paradox? Also, interested to learn how many people can comment on noise issues with low z cans ?
