Ah okay, interesting. Thanks. Oh wait, they are replaceable? If they aren't, then they're a no-go for me.

I just read the pads are glued on - they can't be removed and replaced. That true?

Hmm, aren't Drop products kind of... not the same? I'm still not sure I entirely understand what Drop does.

Hmm, alright, alright. I've been reading that the pads can be kinda weird and fussy; that the material inside the pads moves around a bit or something? Also, how do these bad boys compare to the Aeon Flow 2 and Aeon Noire?

Am I to assume they are low-leakage too, then?

Hey everyone, how's the isolation on the Aeon RT closed? I'm very interested in these cans. :)

Oh no problem :)

I entirely believe you that your pair have and will continue to endure. However, a Google search illuminates a recurring issue with the M70x's build quality.

Ah, yes. I'd have taken a look at the M70X, but the build quality is reported to be terrible.

No, they meant the Sennheiser hd250 linear. It's a very old model. Regardless, thanks for your input - I'm looking at those cans! I don't see myself buying them, though, considering the ever so mixed reviews. I'm kinda toying with the idea of the AKG 271 MKII, though.

Well, I can't find them anywhere. Where are they sold? And I dunno, they just look crappy, hahaha.

What do you mean by "lifeless"? Does pushing an amp to its upper limits reduce dynamic range or something?

I'm really intrigued by these. At first I winced, as their ugly as sin, and boring looking. But they are well-reviewed...

Noted. Though, my reading indicates they may not be particularly analytical? There aren't a ton of reviews on them, so I'm a little disinclined to buy.

Thanks for mentioning this. I was actually wondering if planar magnetics would pose an issue.. I currently have a qudelix 5k, with an unbalanced and balanced out (the latter adds an additional 6db of power). Would the qudelix run DCA cans? I'm rather interested in the Noire, honestly... Though...
