I can't wait for those $300 Beats/Apple headphones Tyll mentioned that will truly end the argument on what is best sounding :p It'll be a savior on my wallet as well.

You can easily rule out whether it's physical ear pad design causing the fatigue by just wearing them without playing any music for a while

Did you buy more than one? Mine got shipped but I only got one. Maybe getting more than one and if they couldn't fulfill your entire order they cancel

Yeah it was surprising considering the impedance curve is mostly flat. Others agreed to the change in the frequency response. In fact, it was the biggest change I've heard out of the bakoon current mode outside of high impedance sennheisers or beyers that have that huge bump in the impedance in...

I found a good travel case for these http://www.amazon.com/Headphone-Protection-Beyerdynamic-Sennheiser-Ballistic/dp/B00ENO322C

I left my centrance dacport slim at work so I'll have to bring the audioengine d3 instead

Is that each or for a pair? Regardless still a good price. Not sure if you'll run into issues with driver matching. Thinking of adding the TH900 drivers to the TH-X00 body?

How much are the TH900 drivers?

I'll be bringing: Fostex TH900 Bakoon HPA-01M Centrance Dacport Slim

New isn't always better. Stax SR-007 MK1 is known to be better than the current version

I mean there is speculation that they modified the drivers themselves in the TH-X00 aside from pad and foam changes and the wording of "newly developed" drivers in the article falls in line with applying similar changes to the TH900 driver for the MK2

Maybe it's a slightly different driver like the TH-X00 compared to the TH600 driver where all the specs look the same but is supposedly slightly different. Maybe they applied the exact same changes to the TH900 drivers here as they did the TH600 drivers when they made the TH-X00 drivers. Makes...

Surprised they're not selling an alternate version with the TH-X00 cups

Time to go for carbon nanotube fiber cables :p http://www.theengineer.co.uk/carbon-nanotube-based-cables-carry-four-times-the-current-of-copper/

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electrical_resistivity_and_conductivity Look at the table for different materials. The difference between silver and copper is not gonna make that many ohms difference at least at the length of your headphone cable

KEF for example is +-15% on their headphone impedances

Anyone compare with AKG K553? Those are pretty good for the money

I got my baby bakoon for $600 used, though msrp is $1300. Look up bakoon and th900 pairing. It's legendary

Or with TH600/900 pads and see if they sound identical to the TH600

Soundsgoodtome you got yours early before everyone else iirl. Was yours a review unit or did you purchase it yourself?

Wait till next week when you see them on ebay for $500-600 or more. Happened with K7XX. Heck even now the NIB ones are still selling around $300

So I got these about 2 years ago. Didn't like the fact that the upper mids were recessed so I pretty much put them away. Today I got a new amp for my Fostex TH900, the Bakoon HPA-01M. It's a portable amp so I tried it out with the UE900 and wow through the current mode, the upper mids really...
